Kennedy: Westphal Losing His Team in Sacramento
By: Alex Kennedy Last Updated: 12/23/10 7:47 AM ET | 1120 times read



The Sacramento Kings have the worst record in the NBA and are near the bottom of the league in every statistical category. Going into the season, the organization expected the team to make strides and solidify themselves as one of league's up-and-coming franchises.

That hasn't been the case thus far and many in Sacramento are pointing the finger at head coach Paul Westphal after the team's 5-21 start.

Sources close to the situation say that Westphal has "all but lost his team" as well as the confidence of the Maloofs. Players, who expected improvement this season, believe that Westphal's rotations and actions have made it nearly impossible for the young team to find success.

Behind closed doors, the players have questioned his philosophy and decision making throughout the season and only see things getting worse the longer he is on the bench.

I dont know if Patrick Ewing would be a good head coach but he could teach cousins and whiteside.

In before KIE says to blame the players instead of Westpaul haha

I still don't support firing a coach mid-season, but I've been a defender of Westphal and my support is rapidly draining.

Also we need to take away bdking's cap lock and shift buttons

Guys, come on. Clearly the team hasn't quit on Westphal yet. I mean, just look at the Bucks game.....right?

Right?!
