Deuce and Mo break down the Kings’ 14th straight loss after a 121-93 blowout to the Jazz heading into the All-Star break. They discuss why the last two games have been so ugly, what’s gone wrong, and what they want to see from this team after the break.

They also talk about potential top pick AJ Dybantsa sitting courtside, what stands out about his game, and joke about what he might have been thinking watching the Kings get blown out. Plus, a bigger conversation about hope in sports and why the possibility of landing a top draft pick can change everything.

Deuce & Mo react to the Kings’ 13th straight loss, a new Sacramento-era low and the first time the team has lost 13 in a row since moving to Sacramento in 1985. They talk about how surreal it is to witness this stretch after seeing so many bad teams over the years, break down what went wrong against the Pelicans, and highlight Maxime Raynaud’s big night with 21 points and 19 rebounds. The guys also look ahead to the Kings-Jazz game before the break, discuss what Utah is doing with some of its key players, and hit on Mark Cuban potentially re-purchasing the Mavericks, plus wild comeback attempts from Damian Lillard and Jayson Tatum.

Deuce & Mo react to the Kings’ 132-126 loss to the Cavs, their 12th straight defeat, but this one felt different. They discuss rookie Nique Clifford’s breakout 30-point night, the energy and development shown by different faces like Devin Carter, Daeqwon Plowden, Dylan Cardwell, and Maxime Raynaud, and why this game was actually enjoyable to watch. They also break down James Harden’s Cavs debut, Keon Ellis and Dennis Schröder returning to face the Kings, and how Harden and Donovan Mitchell took over in the fourth quarter. Even with the losing streak, there were real positives and the loss did not feel awful.
