Don’t Overreact: Sacramento’s blowout loss in San Antonio could be an outlier

Kings Pulse: A Sacramento Kings Podcast

The Sacramento Kings recorded their first loss of the season that wasn't particularly close at any point in the second half. Going into San Antonio, the Kings were favored despite lacking Tyrese Haliburton, but they came out with lackluster effort and energy. Will Griffith of the Kings Herald joins the show for the first segment to talk about why it's too early to say "this is just like last year", even though it was admittedly horrible. We also dive into Fox's breakout performance, the half-court struggles on offense, our thoughts on Walton's early season, and Marvin Bagley refusing to play.

For the second half of this episode, I brought on Bruno Passos (@bouncepassos), who covers the San Antonio Spurs, to give his perspective on the Spurs' best shooing night of the year as he drives home from the stadium. I pick his brain on how much of it was simply San Antonio making shots compared to the Kings failing on their end. He hilariously identifies a primary issue with Sacramento's offense after limited exposure to the team this season and gives his thoughts on the Spurs' play-in chances this season. Also, does he think the Spurs could have any interest in trading for Marvin Bagley? Thaddeus Young for Mavin Bagley + a 2nd? Could San Antonio be in the conversation for acquiring a big name in the trade market?
