Coach J does really have the horses to race with other than #15. You can talk about it all you want. If Joerger was not a decent coach, there is no way the Kings could have won 4 in a row.
Wait a year and then we will know what kind of a coach he is.

The Kings won 4 in a row b/c Boogie was HOF vs Portland at home and we beat two terrible teams (76ers and Minny) by rallying from 4th quarter deficits. The win in Utah was impressive but beat a team on of back-to-back by one point when they were w/o Rodney Hood. That win was impressive but this formula is NOT sustainable when you play better teams and when Boogie is not beast mode.
I didn't think the game @ Portland was that surprising. That game was called returning to the mean with 40% career shooters shooting their career norms, underachievers continuing to underachieve, and Boogie playing like a mortal being with 3-4 defenders geared to stop him.
