Trying to APPRECIATE this Sacramento Kings season
It’s been a wild ride to the all-star break it really it’s I’ve had to check myself recently I’m GL well I’m glad I’m glad that you check yourself because I I definitely am emotional um even one of my bosses came in and was like are you
Okay like as the game’s going on I’m like I’m good why and he’s like I know how you get I know how you I I’ve seen this before and I’m like what I’m good and then I throw a pen at two seconds later you know like like but but truly
When I when oh and then someone was trying to troll me in the office and was like saw what your kings did against that son against the Suns and guess what my response what a fun game like that was truly my resp like it was such a fun
Game sucks that they lost but wow the style of basketball what I witnessed I’m so excited that was the game I got to watch and they’re kind of like no I’m talking like what are you doing and that’s the perspective I think I’ve had for most of this year and I just hope
Again I understand it’s hard we’re all fans but at the same time if you can try to kind of have that perspective when a game is good to really appreciate because it’s not always going to be good and you remember all the shitty basketball that you watched yeah and you
Know how I’m sucked in I am with all this stuff right like yes I’m reading I’m watching I’m in our Discord I’m on King’s Reddit reading stuff and you just when you consume a lot of different views which I think there’s nothing wrong with like I I’m a very emotional being so I
Feel I feel a lot and I get stunned sometimes by some of the reactions like wait what am I missing something like what am I feeling are my feelings not accurate it’s like no that your feelings are accurate but anyway my point to that Morgan is like you can acknowledge that this team
Is flawed and still enjoy the ride right like mm I think I’m to to the point now where I’m like guys this year has been a little more bumpy than I thought it would be too I didn’t think it was going to be like as kind of crazy as it’s been
But my perspective is who they’re 31 and 23 that’s the same record they had this point last year yeah okay you’ll take that but also my other perspective is like dude you watched years and years of basketball you had to find a way to get excited about things you were spending
Time on our podcast going man do you think they should get some Kyle guy minutes here it’s not a disrespect but like getting wrapped up in like Kyle guy and decoin Jeff like just like hope looking for Hope right just anything you’re just searching for answers or
Even going back in the day with draft picks or or hey they just traded for this guy I don’t know maybe this could be good here and just feeling let down and it’s ugly and the basketball is not fun there’s coaching changes and no stability and you’re just like when is
It going to be kind of fun again mhm and last year was fun Beyond fun successful all the above it was oh the high now of course you have expectations so it’s going to feel different but what I’m trying to remind myself is like dude yeah the stakes feel a little higher
This year sure but still enjoy it because this team when you take a step back they’re 31 and 23 there were years when this team could barely scratch 27 28 wins in a season two when they’re clicking they play a pretty fun style of basketball they move the ball they’ve
Got shooting they’ve got some likable guys on the team I’m like I understand that this team today as currently constructed is not a championship team acknowledged it’s okay acknowledged enjoy the journey enjoy the ride this is fun basketball I am not ready to go back
To 25 win land for a season I’m not ready to go back to watching players who don’t actually love the game play yeah this is I love seeing people love doing their job love uh a child’s game in basketball and and just doing it together and smiling together yes all of
The all of those things I appreciate the out of and I know there’s going to be some sports fans in here that go like I appreciate ws and I’m okay it I guess it I mean what rooting for teams it can be subjective too right like that’s what
It is but that’s just my perspective just try to enjoy this time as much as you can because then you’ll look back and I I I’ve been feel like an old man saying this I’ve been around long enough to remember when fans were going you got to fire Rick Adelman you
Need a new voice in there yeah that worked out great only took like 8,000 coaches to get to one that was legit I mean Michael Malone was too jager’s kind of legit but then yeah you get the point a lot of different ones so it’s going to be exciting to see what
This next stretch looks like Morgan I mean I I’m I’m really eager to see if guys are able to step up sabonis has played his ass off can Fox do what he has done this season for the most part it’s been pretty good and then can monk
Keep it up can ke does Keegan have another level he can get to can the bench provide some more consistent see I don’t know we will find see
Deuce and Mo talk about the rollercoaster ride of a season for the Sacramento Kings and how they’re feeling as the team has reached the All-Star break.

28 games after the break with 17 of them in Sacramento. What will their record be in the final 28?
19.
p.s. Looks like MO deserves some big š¤
I think they're playing better ball on both sides, but the lack of consistency is killer this year with a stacked western conference. I'm not sure what it'll take for these boys to wake up to avoid being a play in team. When locked in, they're deadly, when they're not, it's like that Malik inbound last night that almost gave away the game. Hard work but lapses in judgement that can (and has for multiple games) thrown the hard work out the window.
I feel encouraged. That last performance in the 4th quarter by Fox gives me hope that he will return post ASB and remain locked in!
18-10, finishing with 49 wins. Play in team, eliminated
Happy we HAVE a team happy we MADE the playoffs and donāt go into every game this year expecting a ridiculous loss yadda yadda. 16 is a lot of bad years. Enjoying this ride!!! Win or lose
At work, me being a Kings fan actually made me popular. No lie. I work with a bunch of NBA fans, a Knicks fan, a Wolves fan, a Warriors fan. And no one gives me crud because 16 years of suffering. United by our mutual disgust of the Lakers. Lol.
Up and down
ROFL the way Mo said āWHAT IM GOODā, sounded hella Sacramentoš
Iāve been a fan since the late 90s early 00s. Around 2018-2019 it became so painfully difficult to be a Kings fan that I stopped watching basketball altogether. This is coming from someone who was a season ticket holder for multiple years, who spent a lot of money going to these games and buying merchandise. Late 2022 I heard they were doing good and I started watching them again. I just want them to be a playoff team again, and again, and again. I still have ptsd of the 2010s
Sometimes the wins feel numb because of the way we played and the losses spoke louder. But weāre 8 games above .500 and now they can recover and make a final push
Monte has failed to improve this team. He gave away Richaun and a 1st rounder for nothing. Everyone knew we needed a stretch big to play along side with Sabonis. He traded for one in Lopez, only to waive him. All the meanwhile, kings media was gas lighting us into believing a Euroleaguer in his mid 20s was going to fix everything. It hasn't.
