This week in Kings talk
The shows spent the week dealing with a rough start for Sacramento. Ben Simmons tore his Achilles in practice right before the season, leaving the Kings thin at ball-handler, and Darius Acuff Jr.'s debut was a tough shooting night while the team got torched on defense. The talk keeps circling back to whether Sacramento's roster is fundamentally broken and whether Doug Christie's job is in real danger.
