Yes. 50 and a division title shouldn't matter. Getting to the finals should be the goal. We can compete with anyone in the west. The celtics, bucks and sixers would probably smash us in a series though.
No…you do everything you can to move up to the 2, which means win the remainder of your games. Coach Brown himself said they have 4 games to figure this out…can’t do either of those things resting integral players against possible first round opponents.
Win the Division!
No, no shutdown play them to stay conditioned for games. Unless a player has lingering injury and one of the medical suggest it would improve the players injury if they sit out, no player should be sitting out. Sitting out would take them away from rhythm, chemistry and conditioning.
Considering how they play defense, the first round will be really tough regardless of who they play. If there is player fatigue or any lingering minor injuries, I’d say yes or at least limited minutes. The whole point is to get them good playoff experience to get them to that next level
If you shut them down completely you risk them getting cold just limit there minutes 50 wins and division title doesn’t matter playoffs do .
I know Kings fans are great, but the fans need to be even louder. Don't wait for a shot to be made, or a run to get going before you start going ape. We need to bring the energy out of the gate.
Yes, only for players who feel some kind of soreness I.e. like Monk’s case last game.
Don't shut them down. Reduce minutes, but keep them active so they're ready to go whenever needed. I'm no NBA coach, but that's the most logical thing to do in my mind
The Sacramento kings haven’t had a good team in 16 years. Don’t rest the players when some people still wanna see great king’s basketball. The normal people here are just catching on to how good we are now lmaoo.
