    Old school Kings - 25 years ago now!

    The Sacramento A's Are Happening 2025-2027 (at least)

    A's could become Sacramento A's in the end if Vegas deal falls apart. https://www.sfgate.com/athletics/article/oakland-as-sacramento-move-las-vegas-19386055.php

    Btw, congratulations to Vivek Ranadive. More that anyone else he facilitated this move to West Sac by the A's. And he's originally Bay Area guy who still owns his primary or at least now part-time residence in Atherton. Vivek has shown again and again he has Sacramento's best interest at...

    I understand. This knockoff cap probably left off the "S" intentionally. They wanted it to sound like unmistakable SAC now and maybe on into the future if Las Vegas deal collapses. https://www.kcra.com/article/as-file-trademark-applications-for-sacramento-as-sacramento-athletics/60412842

    I had same predicament as long time San Francisco Warriors fan and even follower Oakland Oaks team from old ABA. After I moved to Sac from Bay Area to go to college at Sac State still on occasion went to Golden State Warriors games in Oakland. But 1985 when Sacramento Kings came to town very...

    Las Vegas metro smaller than Sacramento metro and they have 2 sports teams, Raiders and Golden Nights and might soon enough have 3 with A's relocation.

    There's sure to be lots of knockoff gear appearing soon, emblazoned "Sacramento A's," "Sactown Athletics."

    First Time in Sac

    And sure beats McDonalds, Burger King and all the other fast food burger places in taste and value. Plus, always clean inside with drive-thru efficient, moving along quickly.

    Monk does not need to start, just be there at the end to close the deal.

    [Game] Kings vs. Knicks - Sat. 3/16 7:00PM PST/10:00PM EST

    Only game in NBA tonight where both teams ended up with under 100 pts (9 games on Saturday schedule). Kings knew going in facing formattable Knicks defense. Kings never got into their rhythm but instead found themselves knock down drag out slug fest, where refs blew call after call, finally...

    Agreed. And Thibs strong defense minded head coach. You play hard defense or you don't play for him.

    [Game] Kings vs Los Angeles Lakers - 3/13/2024 7:00PM PST/10:00PM EST (ESPN)

    HB being name DPOG well deserved. He checked LeBron most of the night and virtually shut him down totally in first half. James got going a bit in second half but HB more than matched him on the offensive end with big shot after big shot to clinch Kings victory.
