Sacramento Kings Fire Coach Despite Solid Start
The NBA was shocked to hear that the Sacramento Kings fired their head coach Mike Malone. Sacramento is currently tied for its best start through 24 games in a decade and that was without DeMarcus Cousins for a 3rd of them. The Kings are exceeding all expectations right now but the Kings have fired him saying that he was not "special."
Malone showed this season that he was doing a great job developing players. Nearly all of his players are exceeding expectations and he has certainly cast a defensive aura around the team. People will surely remember that the Timberwolves did the same thing to Dwane Casey during the 2006-2007 season even though the Wolves were 20-20. After firing Casey, the Twolves have not reached .500 for the last 7 years.
What do you guys make out of this?
EightyNine@Goyo That would make sense if they actually had the coach already lined up... but it seems to me that they don't have anyone yet! What was the point of already firing him?!
Cavs Now Back on Track?
The Cavaliers beat the Charlotte Hornets 97-88 but they started the game off with a 21-0 run. Yes that is right 21 to ZERO! That is just crazy. This is definitely the Kevin Love the Cavs envisioned as he scored 22 points with 18 rebounds and 4 steals. Irving played 3rd fiddle in the pecking order but it is hard to argue with the results.
The Cavs are now 14-9, definitely not what they were hoping for at this point of the season, but thankfully they can take their time to gel and be in top shape for the postseason.
Is this a testament of their full potential? Or are the Hornets just bad?
Durantula Is Back!
Kevin Durant put in a solid performance with 27 points in his 2014-2015 season debut as the Thunder fell to the Pelicans. The Thunder are now at full strength with both KD and Russel back. Do they lead the Thunder back to the playoffs to become one of the most dangerous lower seeds?
