NBC Sports California analyst and former Sacramento Kings forward Kenny Thomas joined the Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross to break down last night’s win against the New Orleans Pelicans, preview today’s game against the Dallas Mavericks, why Monte McNair has been the catalyst for change this season and more.
“The addition of Mike Brown was huge, this is a guy that’s been around the league for a while. He’s coached on a couple of different teams and obviously, he came from the Warriors, where he knows how to win. You can tell the offense of the Kings is being implemented like it’s Warriors’ offense,” Thomas said.
Topics discussed include:
- How long should the players be allowed to celebrate securing the Pacific Division
- Why general manager Monte McNair is the reason behind the dramatic turnaround
- How Domantas Sabonis is like the Draymond Green of the Kings
- Why the team played with little energy against the San Antonio Spurs
- Should fans be worried about the Kings at home during the playoffs?
- Mike Brown is consistently teaching this young group
- Will the team’s lack of defense be an issue in the playoff?
- Keegan Murray’s recent play and stepping into a bigger role
