Sean Cunningham, sports reporter and producer for FOX40, joined Cattles and Ramie Friday to discuss Kevin Huerter’s return to action, his expectations for the Sacramento Kings in the postseason, and the vibe around town with the Kings’ success.

Topics discussed include:

  • The impact of Kevin Huerter’s return to the lineup.
  • Why the team doesn’t need to finish the season with a .500 record or better to be trouble in the postseason.
  • “This Kings team has shown since January, even late December, I feel like this team would be a tough out in the playoffs.”
  • Putting aside the defense, what’s the biggest concern about this team heading into the playoffs?
  • Why whoever faces the Kings will face a tremendous amount of pressure to win
  • What does it mean for the Sacramento Kings to be back in the playoffs?
  • “It’s fun man, you go walk around town, you see Kings’ signs again, you see everyone buying into this beam stuff.”
