Kings at Clippers Preseason Preview: The Kings might never lose again

It's been months since the Kings have lost a basketball game of any kind!

The Sacramento Kings continue their preseason against the Los Angeles Clippers tonight, with the game tipping off at 7:30 PM PT. The game will be available on NBA League Pass for those outside of the Sacramento area. Unfortunately the Kings confirmed that the game will not be streamed anywhere for fans in Sacramento.

I’d still suggest keeping an eye on the Kings and NBC Sports California twitter feeds as we get closer to the games. There have been times in the past when a preseason game wasn’t going to be available in Sacramento, and at the last minute a stream was announced.

As for the game itself, it’s preseason so we still aren’t going to go too in-depth on the preview. I’m curious to see what Walton uses as a starting lineup, and what lineup combinations he uses throughout the game.

This thread will also serve as the game thread for your thoughts during the game.

Off Night showed us all he’ll belong—
His “D” could right many a wrong!
Clippers next on the list,
Though Kawhi will be missed.
Still the Kings must bring effort that’s strong!

Rooting for Bagley to get through two games before suffering a hairline fracture of the hip

He is probably taking inventory of every sensation that might be considered an injury.

He is due…

The Clippers appear to be televising this on Bally Sports West, so it might be available if you have moral and legal failings needed to seek out such reprehensible things.

Sigh. I remember the days when all the Kings games were televised. Even the preseason ones were on Fox Sports California. Tough times I guess.

Really?

I don’t recall seeing too many preseason games on TV

and it seems to me every year people have the same complaints, lol

but don’t let that stop you from complaining about something. Let’s blame Vivek for this atrocity

Mr NBA 3.0 himself, Silicon Valley savior, “Most technologically advanced arena” around – can’t put together a legit broadcast two nights ago and leaves tonight for radio only in Sac. Sacramento, this is your team!

What’s the damn deal with this organization? I mean, does it cost too much to freaking air preseason games or what?

Pretty much. There is no profit to be made from an away preseason match so they don’t air it.

But they didn’t fully air the first game either. Every other team in California is airing their games.

OK I don’t see a spot for this and feel free to delete if it is forbidden. I am thinking ??? about a season ticket plan maybe a 10 maybe a 1/2 don’t really know. My B-Ball watching child has moved out of state. Anyone have an interest in partnering on a plan? Not a marriage proposal so please don’t get too weird… You know what weird is better than no response!

Why would you do that? You can walk up to almost any game and get good tickets.

The Sacramento Kings is a business. Vivek bought it to make money. That was the whole reason. This is HIS team.

Fired up that Luke is letting the young guys Tristan and Mo get that feel in the starting lineup. Very heady. They are the future.

The Clippers camera is …. kinda zoomed in or something. Seems closer than what I’m used to from Kings and national games.

ETA: never mind I guess that’s mobile view.

I really like Davion and Alex’s two man game.

The team is playing with some effort. I hope this bleeds into regular season.

Davion appears to be able to play a little defense vs NBA caliber players.

Drew an offensive foul from Bledsoe and had a few good possessions against the taller Paul George.

With Hield and Bagley non-entities, the Simmons deal is now officially dead.

And Fox and Haliburton ain’t going anywhere.

A bit of a ragtag game, but Davion’ offense looks excellent, and his shot looks on the money. I am impressed.

For Davion right? Not the team as a whole….I see nothing wrong with the former. Now for the latter you need prescription grade pharma!

The Kings are going to be fun this year. The Davion pick looks better every game.

Saw entire game.
Sort of typical pre-season: sloppy, disjointed and uneven.

Bagley not effective coming off bench- seemed a bit lost, took too many 3’s.
Buddy could not hit anything then caught fire in 3rd- 3 threes.
Fox got a quiet- almost 20.
Hali did not score much but was in control.
Mitchell was uneven but did look much better on offense in second half. Played a lot of minutes, multiple combinations and put on small and bigger guys. Did guard PG3 well.
TD lit it up in third.
A sloppy win
