Sacramento last made the playoffs nearly 20 years ago. But a talented coach and an impressive blend of talent has transformed their fortunes
since such numbers were tracked. Yes, even better than the “we’ve never seen anything like this before” offense of the Kyrie Irving, James Harden and Kevin Durant Nets .
Brown, who has been in the NBA coaching ranks since the 1990s, earned many of his offensive stripes on Steve Kerr’s staff in the Bay with the Golden State Warriors . When he took the Sacramento job last year, many wondered why a coach with Brown’s resume would want to lead a team with so much institutional baggage. But, clearly, he saw serious potential that many others did not.
Would it still be a shock if the Kings win the championship this year? Sure, especially because their historic offense comes with a pretty god-awful defense. But it’s definitely possible. And breaking a playoff drought going back nearly 20 years with home court advantage is nothing to sneeze at. It’s been a long, dark winter of mediocrity in Sacramento. But this year, the Golden 1 Center is positively illuminated. Light the Beam, indeed.
