Around the League: Week 14 3/22-3/28

[INFORMER]

Hate seeing Jaxson Hayes go down like that.

And the Lakers laughing about it on the bench afterward was lame.

Yeah, that really bothered me. I could recognize the guy in street clothes, but him and Montrezl were having a good laugh about the situation.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Gentlemen, I present to you the Sacramento Kings.

[Mori Chu]

Do they fire Walton after the season they've had?

[bajanguy008]

Ammm ok

[bajanguy008]

Would have been cool to see CP3 close the season as part of this group. Kyrie is a strange dude smh but he is hoopin

[bajanguy008]

Never one to hide his mouth lol

[MightyMoog]

CP3 said the best, you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. The west has been tough for a long time. Let's have some fun.

[LazarusLong]

He's not the brightest bulb as a coach, but that roster is mishmash.
Lots of perimeter players, many question marks up front.
Holmes is solid, Bagley has trouble staying on the court, and Whiteside is erratic.
... and any team giving significant minutes to Damian Jones has issues...

[bajanguy008]

Hmmm....

[bajanguy008]

I have no point of reference here but they mean it's a gran for the nose bleeds ?

[ShelC]

I think I read they're having 13K fans in the arena, so maybe they won't be opening up the upper levels/nosebleeds and only the lower/mid bowl? Even so, that's a lot.

They sure love Nash.

I read/heard somewhere that they are having some financial issues and not likely to pay his salary and another full time coach at the same time?

I'm sure glad we didn't go after Walton after that 73 win season. The Sacramento roster has been a mishmash and their front office doesn't help, but Walton seems to have never gotten a handle on that locker room whatsoever.

[bajanguy008]

[bajanguy008]

They had some issue during a game cause Kyrie told him not to call him by the N-word but it is whatever
Headline made me laugh

[bajanguy008]

Credit to D. Rose cuz I was also like why would he go to NY

Strangely enough, Luke Walton has the second highest winning percentage of any Kings coach in the Sacramento era. These are the top 10 since the kings moved to Sacramento in 1985:

1) .633 Rick Adelman (395-229)
2) .431 Luke Walton (62-82)
3) .415 Reggie Theus (44-62)
4) .403 Phil Johnson (81-120)
5) .403 Garry St. Jean (159-236)
6) .402 Eric Musselman (33-49)
7) .398 Dave Joerger (98-148)
8) .393 George Karl (44-68)
9) .386 Rex Hughes (22-35)
10) .368 Mike Malone (39-67)

Ya, Rick Adelman went to 8 straight playoffs...in I believe the only 8 years he coached. The Kings have made the playoffs twice in the other 28 years
