On to the rankings! NBA.com #30 (-4) The Kings have now lost eight straight games since that initial, post-Boogie win over Denver. Two of last week's losses - the led the shorthanded Spurs by 28 on Wednesday and the Wizards by 15 in the fourth quarter on Friday - were particularly brutal. The...

I'm downtown, enjoying the nightlife before the game. I'll probably post the power rankings tomorrow. For now, a return of beer of the week! On to the rankings! NBA.com #26 (-7) After their initial post-break, "They're better without Boogie!" win over Denver, the Kings went 0-4 on the rest of...

I started to respond to this in the Nets game, but realized we could probably spin it off into its own thread: (You're welcome, VF!) You know, I've been wondering about his "fail fast" philosophy, and I think it directly contradicts how to successfully build a franchise. (Also, plenty of data...

I guess I have energy for it this week... NBA.com #19 (+1) For one game, the Kings looked better off for having traded DeMarcus Cousins and Willie Cauley-Stein looked ready to step into Cousins' shoes. His (career-high) 29 points and 10 rebounds (with Nikola Jokic getting put in the blender)...

We'll see how it shakes out next week, folks.

Hot damn! On to the rankings! NBA.com #19 (+1) A three-game winning streak has the Kings still very much in the playoff race, behind the two teams that just made a trade. The streak began on Wednesday with a game against a good team in which DeMarcus Cousins was suspended (for picking up his...

So #Kangz On to the rankings! NBA.com #20 (-3) Losing to the Suns and beating the Warriors (which the Kings did on Friday and Saturday) may be the most Jekyll-and-Hyde-ish back-to-back any team has had this season. DeMarcus Cousins was one assist away from recording triple-doubles in both...

February is upon us! Now is the time to make our move. On to the rankings! NBA.com #17 (+4) Each of the Kings' last five games have been within five points in the last five minutes. DeMarcus Cousins has taken 31 of their 57 clutch-time shots in that stretch and had big buckets against the...

Sorry about last week, folks. I was DNP - CD for family reasons. Oh well, on to the rankings! NBA.com #21 (-3) Rudy Gay is out for the season after tearing his Achilles in Wednesday's loss to the Pacers, the Kings have dropped five straight games, and they're 2-10 (with the league's second...

What goes up, must come down? On to the rankings! NBA.com #19 (-1) The Kings remain the league's worst team in the first six minutes of games and were down seven after the first six minutes against the Heat on Wednesday. But they've generally been better in the first quarter recently. Still...

Happy New Year? Looks like we need to shake things up a little...question is, how much is a little? On to the rankings! NBA.com #18 (-1) The Kings were streaking toward taking control of the 8 seed in the West, but allowed the Blazers and Grizzlies to shoot 48 percent from 3-point range in...

Like other banking institutions, I took a holiday. On to the rankings! NBA.com #17 (+6) Somehow, some way, the Sacramento Kings are in playoff position. They've won three straight games (at the end of a stretch where they played 12 of 15 on the road), scoring 119 points per 100 possessions...

The Sac Bee now does a power ranking? With mean ranking and everything? Same sites? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. NBA.com #23 (-1) With the Blazers struggling, there's an opportunity for the Nuggets or Kings to grab a playoff spot. But Sacramento gave DeMarcus Cousins a day off...

Well, it can't get much worse...and apparently there are other teams out there facing a stronger plummet than we are. On to the rankings! NBA.com #22 (NC) Dave Joerger is still searching. Ben McLemore went from three straight DNPs to three straight starts (in which he shot 7-for-23) last week...

Kangz gonna #Kangz. On to the rankings! NBA.com #18 (+1) The Kings would probably prefer to skip the first six minutes of every game. They've trailed after the first six minutes in 12 of their 17 games and they're the league's worst team in those six minutes, getting outscored by 24 points per...

I'm ready to stuff this bird. Not too much to say. I think the Kings are getting better, but the record doesn't seem to show it. Hopefully the easing up of the schedule will let us know a little more. On to the rankings! NBA.com #19 (+2) The Kings hold the secret to slowing down DeMar...

Another week like the last two, and Bajaden will once again reign supreme! Wait, what did you say about our draft picks in 2017? I'm hopeful a home stand and some practice will tighten the loose nuts. Oh yeah, and DC is back. On to the rankings! NBA.com #21 (+1?) Dave Joerger has slowed the...

Man, what a difference a week makes. We looked a lot more #Kangzy than I thought we would. For sure, I thought we would have swept Florida. I mean, Florida. BTW Sports Illustrated you're on notice. I'm tired of trying to find your crap. Seriously, guys. Get your website together. If you have any...

Trick or treat? Fans: have been treated. National Media: tricked for sure. At least for now. On to the rankings! NBA.com #17 (+7) As the Kings embark on a five-game, seven-day trip through the Eastern Conference, Ben McLemore will have nightmares about Kawhi Leonard (who he'll see again in a...
