Sacramento Kings podcast Barbara Mason:

  1. On March 14 the Sacramento Kings pulled an upset over the Los Angeles Clippers beating them 118-109 but Apr 5 Sunday night was a whole new ball game as the Clippers dominated in a must win for Los Angeles 138-109. The Clippers are currently in ninth place a half game behind the Trailblazers so the win Sunday night was critical for Los Angeles.

2. A number of Kings remained out for this game. Russell Westbrook remain out with a toe issue and they have listed the return of Keegan Murray as April 7 but will that happen? The Kings will see if either of them will be on the court as the season winds down.

3. The Kings did not get a whole lot from either starters nor their bench Sunday. In contrast, the Clippers Kawhi Leonard was on fire as was bench player John Collins.

4. Sacramento struggled for most of the game, they fell behind early and got blindsided in the third quarter as the Clippers really turned it on in the second half blowing the Kings out of the water. Three Kings players barely got into double figures struggling offensively.

5. With only three games left in the season the Kings will now face the Golden State Warriors Tuesday Apr 7 in San Francisco and again on Fri Apr 10 in Sacramento.

That’s Amaury News and Commentary: The Warriors’ report is not good

The Warriors’ report is not good

That’s Amaury News and Commentary

Amaury Pi-González

Over the last few years, the area around Chase Center in San Francisco has been a party atmosphere, with the Warriors competing every season, but things have changed, and the Bandwagon of Warriors fans is not what it used to be; they are deserting in droves.

The Warriors played at the Oakland Arena from 1971 to 2019; they won the NBA title in 1975, 2015, 2017, and 2018. Then they moved to the brand-new, spectacular Chase Center in San Francisco for the 2019-20 season and won the 2022 NBA title, the only one since moving to San Francisco.

This season, the team has faced many setbacks. Obviously, their superstar Stephen Curry is the one who has the Warriors worried. Curry will be evaluated before the game at Chase Center this Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets. After Curry’s practice, the Warriors have to make a decision, and with only ten (10) games left during the regular season, the team and their fans are praying he can return because without Curry, they have little chance.

As of March 21, 2026, Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is recovering from a right knee injury diagnosed as runner’s knee combined with a bone bruise. His last game was on January 30, 2026.

The team just lost Guard Moses Moody for the remainder of the season, suffering from a torn left patellar tendon during the recent overtime victory over the Mavericks.

 In conclusion, the Golden State Warriors must win the next three games to have a shot at ‘Eight in the West’.

While playing in the Oakland Area, the Warriors had great fans, extremely loyal, who, especially after their 1975-76 NBA title season, were the NBA team from Northern California, years before the Sacramento Kings were born.

During the 1990s, when I was their Spanish radio play by play announcer for all games, home and away, traveling with the team, by the way, the only Spanish play-by-play announcer they ever hired in their history, these are the players I remember, especially the “Run TMC Trio”, Mullin, Hardaway, Richmond and others under coach Don Nelson. However, my favorite overall player during those years in the NBA was Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls, whom I had the pleasure of interviewing a few times

#3 Which team controls the pace and scoring tempo? With trends pointing toward high-scoring matchups between these teams, pace and shot efficiency could decide the outcome.

#4 Can the Warriors stay in the Western Conference play-in race? Sitting around the playoff bubble, every win matters for Golden State down the stretch of the season.

#5 Will young Nets players step up against a more experienced Warriors squad? Brooklyn’s developing roster faces a tough challenge against a veteran-led Golden State team.

Golden State Warriors podcast David Zizmor:

#1 David talk about Warrior coach Steve Kerr becoming the fourth fastest coach to win 600 games.

#2 Right now Stephen Curry is out with a right knee injury and his return is estimated around Mar 21. The Warriors need every win they could get but Mar 21 is a long ways off they’ll have to depend on each other if they going to keep pace for a play in spot.

#3 The Warriors are in Boston on Wednesday night. The Celtics are second in the Eastern Conference at 45-23. The Celtics have won two in a row and have a 23-10 home record. This could be a tough road trip for Golden State was they open a four game trip against the Celtics, Pistons, Hawks, and Mavericks.

That’s Amaury News and Commenary: Mediocrity is the word for the Warriors

Mediocerity is the word for the Warriors

By Amaury Pi-González

The Warriors walked into March with a 31-29 record, occupying the eighth and final playoff spot in the West. Their next five games are against the Clippers, Rockets, Thunder, Jazz, and Bulls. How this team is going to finish is anybody’s guess.

They just lost a game at Chase Center against the 41-year-old LeBron James, Lakers 129-101. Jimmy Butler is out for the season with a torn ACL. It typically takes 6-12 months for a full return, with 9 to 12 months for professional athletes to regain their full strength.

Stephen Curry also injured is missing games of late. His Right knee has patellofemoral pain syndrome (Runner’s Knee). When asked about the injury, he said one word,” weird.” Other Warriors medical situation, Seth Curry (sciatica) and the Jonathan Porzings saga is a totally disaster.

With just 22 games left, it doesn’t look like the Warriors are going to improve all of a sudden, even the postseason is at best a 50-50 proposition. They are currently sitting in the Western Conference’s eighth spot, aiming to avoid the play-in tournament and secure a top-six seed.

Just like the Giants, who play a few blocks away from Chase Center, the Warriors had a great run of championships winning in in 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2022. Every team suffers injuries; the Warriors are not alone; however, this season has always looked, to use Steph Curry’s previous word, “weird”.
