On the Sacramento Kings podcast with Charlie O:
#1 The Sacramento Kings had no answer for the Denver Nuggets Isaiah Thomas. Thomas worked the game without head coach Mike Malone who ejected and also the Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic helped out on offense for the 120-118 win.
#2 The much improved Kings, despite Wednesday’s loss, played a tight ball game against the Nuggets at the Pepsi Center.
#3 Knowing Malone’s coaching style, was there any advantage for the Kings or did Malone know the Kings’ style of play and knew how to play the Nuggets?
#4 The Kings are looking to get back in the win column. They play at Golden State on Thursday night. What are some of the things they need to do to win in Oakland?

On That’s Amaury’s News and Commentary podcast:
#1 The Environmental Impact Report on the Howard Terminal location for the Oakland Athletics new ball park will show that the location has had a century worth of toxic dumping there of cancerous material that includes cyanide poisoning.
#2 The chemicals also include manufactured material that was used to help light Oakland street lights at the turn of the 19th century.
#3 A’s president David Kaval said that any clean up cost would be paid privately but the study and length of time of how and how much to do a clean up toxic waste site is still to be mulled over?
#4 Kaval made it clear that costs for infrastructure, transportation, and environmental will be a big job and the timetable for opening the Howard Terminal ball park is estimated in 2033–some 14 years from now.
#5 Amaury talks about his coverage for the Oakland A’s training camp in Mesa, Ariz. for spring training.

On the Cal Bears basketball podcast with Morris:
#1 The Cal Bears (5-20) head into Wednesday night’s game to face the ASU Sun Devils (17-8). The Bears are winless in the Pac-12, could they go winless for the rest of the way at this rate?
#2 The Bears’ big highlight in their 89-66 loss to the USC Trojans (14-12) on Saturday night was a three-pointer from Jacob Orender in the closing minutes of the game.
#3 The Trojans’ Benny Boatwright made himself at home with 36 points and 10 assists. With Boatwright, was it a matter trying to contain everyone or was Boatwright USC’s go to guy all night long?
#4 Bears head coach Wyking Jones said that the defensive woes carried into the offensive woes. How so?
#5 It’s off to Arizona State University for a Wednesday night tip with the Sun Devils. What are the Bears’ odds to get their first win this season in this one?

On the Sharks podcast with Len:
#1 After winning six straight games, the San Jose Sharks (34-17-7) snapped their win streak to the Washington Capitals (32-19-7) in San Jose. Was this lost mostly due to the long road trip or or the Caps came in well-prepared for the Sharks?
#2 The win was a four-goal 5-1 victory for Washington and Caps star Alexander Ovechkin scored his 39th goal of the season. He’s a force on the Caps offense
#3 From the start there was little doubt the Caps were not only large and in charge and the NHL’s reigning champs, but found the back end of the net twice in the first and second periods.
#4 The Caps got two goals from TJ Oshie, who scored his 17th and 18th goals of the season in the first and second periods.
#5 The Sharks welcome the Vancouver Canucks (26-26-7) this Saturday for a 7 pm faceoff at SAP Center. The last time the two teams met the Sharks clobbered the Canucks 7-2 in Vancouver last Monday at Rogers Arena.
