[2014-15 Recap] -- They played well early, slumped, fired a coach, hired an interim coach, fired him, then hired George Karl. Criticism was heavy for how team management handled the whole thing, and in the end, even with Karl at the helm, the team lost way more than it won. To add salt to their already gashing wound, former Sacramento King point guard Isaiah Thomas led the Boston Celtics to an eight-seed in the Eastern Conference and a playoff birth while Rudy Gay and DeMarcus Cousins spent May at home.
Now, with a more stable leadership group and an all-star in Cousins and legit head coach in Karl, the Kings head into the off-season with a clear path and hopeful that like the New Orleans Pelicans, they'll be able to go from a lottery team to a potential eight seed.
