[Game] Kings vs Raptors, 10/8/2025 7PM Pacific 10PM Eastern (Pre-Season)

Sacramento Kings basketball is finally back! The way these games usually go, the starters play the first half, and the second and third strings play the second half.

New look uniforms, similar offense, new look defense? Let's find out. Unlike last year, everyone on the team is ready to go.

Are we sure about this?

Are we sure about this?

Spiritually? Ecumenically? Grammatically?

All of the above.

Excited to see more Domas centric offensive sets. The "were going to play Domas at the elbow" more comment hopefully leads me to think we are actually going to focus in on off ball movement and moving the ball. Get away from the ISO mode that dominated last year with Fox and DDR

 

[Caccia]

Are we sure about this?

Yes, no one on the injured list.

Culture has never been better. Everyone is in the best shape of their lives. They all put on 25lbs of muscle over the summer. League is on notice.

Gotta love the first week of October!

I’d just like to see something different/better even in a preseason game.

I can’t believe Basketball is back. I’ll try not to have expectations and just enjoy the fact that the dreaded dog days of the offseason are over

If I’m expecting anything, it’s that we aren’t going to get a repeat of last season’s “We aren’t even going to run our offense” preseason blowout experience.

 

[SacTownKid]

Should be pretty early to see if they have any legs left after this camp, lol.

Well, at least Doug isn’t saying things like “we aren’t even running a real offense this time around” and there seems to be some level of structure and competitiveness.

You know, if the plan is to go all "Vivek ball" and try to run other teams out of the building rather than rely on anything silly like defense, we should hopefully see a deep rotation.

Keegan saying "**** it, I'm firing" and leading the team in FGA this year would be the best timeline

Scores until we traded Shump was some of the most fun I've had as a Kings fan. I remember that game in MIA where Dragic was literally gasping for air in the 4th quarter.

One of my favorite Kings squads of all time as well. It is always good to be able to see a team impose their will on their opponents. This was also the squad Dwayne Wade cited as pushiing him to retirement.

I mean, if we do go that route I'm just hoping we do it smart.

4th oldest team in the league trying to be the fastest team in the league is certainly a choice.

The rooks will be entertaining and the bench is the battleground this season, so many decent prospects!
