Well, you all saw it yourselves!

The critics of Adelman's 7-man rotation were proved right when Adelman had
no choice after Peeler's ejection to go to Buford, and then Flip Saunders
put Jabari Smith on the line for two FTs, which he made.

Are championship teams using their entire roster, or keeping it to just a
couple of reserves so that the players are seemingly exhausted???

Are there any coaches worthy of taking the Kings to the final level of
Adelman comes up short again this year???

Don Nelson may just take the Kings to that level, once Cuban sends him on
his way. I think Nelson and the Kings are a good fit.

Byron Scott was working for ABC/ESPN, right? Maybe he wants to get back in
the game.

A championship teams do not use all 12 guys but it is certainly more than
using a 7-man rotation. I say no more than going 9 deep. Adelman's spin
on the 7-man rotation is that his starters are playing less minutes than
their opponents in their positions.

Let's say if Don Nelson is hired to coach the Kings, he would probably run
more and deemphasize defense. Not a championship type mentality for the
team.

I think Byron Scott is a better fit because he knows the current system as
he used to be an assistant coach and he took the Nets to two straight
Finals. He won a couple of titles as a player.

You are so correct, ah...Hedo. It was my favorite game of the year for just
that reason.

One game, couple of lucky FT, one guy having a career 10 minutes. None of
this proved anything.

During PO, the rotation is shortened. Watch the other championship teams
play during PO.

Nellie and Scott has so far done squat in terms of championships. There is,
however, one coach who has done it time and again, and will be available in
the summer. So the Kings must ask themselves, is winning championships the
highest priority, so high that you are willing to sign the Devil's compact
and sell your soul for it? Or are you willing to be disappointed year after
year after year, with the best team during the season, a team of players who
"like each other", a team with few internal conflicts, but a team that'll
never get to that last win in the playoffs.

Are you suggesting that the Kings should sign Phil Jackson? If that is the
case then Shack O'Neal has said that he will only play for one coach
(Jackson, heard that one before), so the Kings would have to sign Shack too.
Would that be weird or what?!
