It’s a Holiday Special edition of the Return of the Roar podcast!

On the latest edition of Return of the Roar, Chris Watkins and Frankie Cartoscelli were joined by ABC 10’s Matt George and The Kings Herald’s Brendan Nunes to break down the Sacramento Kings’ gritty win over the Toronto Raptors, contemplate what the team should do with Harrison Barnes at the deadline, talk Christmas movies, and much more.

Also: Are the Kings building a winning culture right before our eyes this season?

Topics Discussed:

  • Was last night’s win over Toronto the most impressive win we have seen from the Kings this season?
  • Domantas Sabonis’ impact can’t be understated (averaging 20.8 PTS | 14.4 REB | 5.8 AST | 1.0 STL | 69% FG during the trip)
  • With The Beam, Defensive Player of the Game chain, evident chemistry, and wins, is Sacramento finally showing progress towards building a winning culture?
  • What will it take for Sacramento to get more respect from NBA officials?
  • Harrison Barnes’ contract will expire at the end of this season. Should the Kings look to move Barnes, extend him, or play out the season and go from there?
  • Temperature check: What is this team’s ceiling?
  • Will it be tough for Monte McNair to move Richaun Holmes’ contract?
  • What is your favorite Christmas movie?


The Return of the Roar podcast is a Sacramento Kings podcast hosted by Kings beat writer Frankie Cartoscelli and digital content producer Chris Watkins for Sactown Sports 1140.
