The Kings have sent out a new release that they have fired coach Paul Westphal

Don't really know what they're trying to accomplish here, coaching isn't the issue.

It's immature assholes like Cousins that's wrong with that team.

 

[RipCity32]

Well he was a horrible coach though. Multiple players on the team said the offense is runs is basically like not running an offense at all.

 

[elcheato]

They should fire the GM too. He's got a sim league mentality.

 

[Pugz]

it wasnt just cousins. sure his attitude needs to be put in check but that wasnt an offense.

 

[BwareDWare94]

The team had no offensive flow whatsoever. Even when they moved the ball, they were easy to defend. At least Keith Smart will put them in an actual offense.

 

[DJT]

Good move, sure they have boneheads like Cousin's. But Westphal's system was not working...at all. Everyone looked lost and it just wasn't clicking. Hope they can bring in someone good.

The offense had no flow whatsoever, was pitiful to watch. Hopefully a change is what this Kings team needs to wake them up.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

The players they have don't help the system either, like someone else said the GM has a sim league mentality.

 

[ZigZag]

Finally!! Next is getting rid of Petrie. Hopefully now we won't force Reke to play the 1 and we can go get an actual PG

Hopefully, for my fantasy team's sake, Tyreke has more games like he had tonight now.

 

[DJT]

For them to win they need to have Evans and Thornton to score 24+ and Cousins to have a pretty good game.

I'm not sure Evans and Thornton can do that every single night, especially in a season like this. (I do think Thornton can get 20 ppg though)

 

[BwareDWare94]

They just lost Chuck Hayes for 2-3 weeks. If they fall under any adversity in those three ways, the losses could pile up. Never underestimate leadership.

It was really great to watch how the guys rallied around Smart though, especially Cousins.
