On Thursday, Sacramento Kings assistant coach Jay Triano joined Cattles & Ramie to discuss the home-court advantage at Golden 1 Center, Richaun Holmes’ big game in the absence of Domantas Sabonis and more.
Topics discussed include:
- Jay shares a story of how Doug Christie told him this current energy by Kings’ fans is like when he played
- How Mike Brown has made it known from the beginning that they shouldn’t just be happy with wins and always strive to improve
- “Our focus on the process over the outcomes has really kept us in a straight line driving towards the right direction.”
- How the team is able to adjust when someone like Sabonis is out
- What does the team mean when they preach “stay ready”?
- If Richaun Holmes was able to play more comfortably Wednesday knowing Sabonis was out.
- What the team is doing to consistently defend the paint?
- If teams are defending the Sacramento Kings differently once they realize players are shooting more three-point shots.
