    Very happy Hamm is here. Now I can listen. Matt was a bit too Kings apologetic.

  • Matt’s the glue guy

    One of the best Kings podcasts for sure. Matt’s consistent energy and enthusiasm is always appreciated in a sadly disfuncional Kings reality. Regardless of whether you agree with his takes, just the fact that he does his job day after day providing strong content with passion and humor is very impressive. His voice is a vital part of the King’s community and should not be taken for granted. Rock on Matt 👍👍

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NO OFF NIGHT for Darius Acuff Jr., rookie stars, despite another home loss for Sacramento Kings
Q: You just went up against one of the best on-ball, small ball, small guards in the league. You did that on purpose, bro?
Acuff said he did not specifically seek out the matchup, but he likes tough matchups and called Davion Mitchell a great defender and player.
What about the SOPHOMORES? How will Nique Clifford and Dylan Cardwell fit into the Kings puzzle?
Q: What was it that you really focused on during that stage?
Clifford says he focused on defense, doing the small things that help the team win, becoming a more reliable catch-and-shoot player and making the right plays when he gets chances to be aggressive.
What about the SOPHOMORES? How will Nique Clifford and Dylan Cardwell fit into the Kings puzzle?
Q: How did you not know how good you were? Because you played a lot.
Cardwell says he played limited minutes before his fifth college season and had not been asked to attack after offensive rebounds. In the NBA, encouragement to go back up helped him gain confidence and produce his first double-double.
SEASON PREVIEW, can the Kings recover from Ben Simmons injury? With play-by-play voice Mark Jones
Q: What does Doug do now and how can he earn a longer look as the head coach of the Sacramento Kings, knowing that he just lost somebody who was probably starting and probably playing close to 30 minutes a night as a key cog?
Jones says Christie, Scott Perry, and BJ Armstrong must align on short- and long-term goals. Sacramento will need to redistribute playmaking and defensive assignments, rethink frontcourt rotations, and consider changing lineups by matchup.
SEASON PREVIEW, can the Kings recover from Ben Simmons injury? With play-by-play voice Mark Jones
Q: What were your initial thoughts on Sunday when you heard this news?
Jones says he was devastated by the news, especially after Simmons had worked his way back to playing and appeared ready to contribute.
