Paul Westphal

Fritz Williams is coming into the game, and McLaughlin is going to sit down.

McLaughlin can't contend with Paul Westphal.

Tommy's going to gamble that Williams won't be able to contend with him either.

McLaughlin and Westfall, a little bit bigger than Williams, is putting the ball to play down a half a track.

He had the mismatch and knocked him

over.

Warner couldn't believe his good fortune there with a mismatch on Paul Westphal.

Since Westfall has come into the game, and obviously they're looking for the mismatch here with Westfall, first with McLaughlin, who couldn't keep up with him because he has a bum wheel, and then Williams, who simply is not a very good defensive player.

and move Keegan Murray to the three.

And if you go back through the history of time with the Sacramento Kings, I brought this up the other day, but there was a game the year before I started covering the team, the 2009-2010 season, where Paul Westphal started Desmond Mason and Sean May on opening night.

Uh, I remember another time where, um, back in the, in the nineties where the King started Randy Brewer at center out of nowhere.

And he was like this seven foot two, like super hairy guy, uh, bald on top, but Harry everywhere else type of guy, like wearing a winter sweater.

fast break as much as they could.

Then you had Walter Davis and Paul Westphal and Alvin Adams running guys on the ground.

The Barkley era sons of KJ and Thunder Dan weren't what you'd call a running team.

They went with what Charles was doing and Charles wasn't running as much, but KJ and Thunder Dan would run.

Chris Williams is coming into the game, and McLaughlin is going to sit down.

McLaughlin can't contend with Paul Westphal.

Tommy's going to gamble that Williams won't be able to contend with him either.

for McLaughlin.

They've got to get rid of the ball, and they do.

Out to Cowan.

All right, cross-court to West Falls.

Makes the drive.

Uh, but this is the, this is one that he had before.

He's got the Paul Westphal.

He's got the Al McCoy, the Wham-O.

He's got, uh, yeah.

I haven't looked at these yet.

[laughs] Well, we got another Westphal one.

Jake is probably a bigger Paul Westphal fan than I ever have been.

But that's pretty freaking cool.

So I'm listening.

So in the 93 finals, I remember Paul Westphal.

I'll show you where I'm going with this.

They were down 2-0.
