Doug Christie was and still is a defensive player and coach. But this roster lacks defensive. They are more of an offensive shooting team. But we’ll see how Doug handles his defense and apply it to his players
No disrespect but kings & defense don't go together never really have don't know why you guys are excited we only have 2 players who can play defense Murray & Ellis doesn't matter if the players buy in lol they can't play defense haven't you guys watched every game the last number of years a few good defensive plays here & there don't make you a top defensive team SMH if I'm wrong I'll gladly eat crow but I see 35-47 coming up I'm just waiting for the next couple of years when the kings get more flexibility I'm excited to see what Perry can do I believe in him just not this year
the Kings traded for offense only veterans. Light the Beam only works when Sacramento scores more points then opponents.
Yes I think Doug Christie's defense will work better than Browns the reason is the front office and general manager are behind him
You know you're skewed vision of Mike Brown and how he performed with the Kings is astounding if you really look over Mike's Brown's career despite people saying he's a defensive specialist I think if you watched the other teams he coached as a head coach
Well it's amazing that all the coaches for the kings are previous players and the coaches for brown we're not
Last year, the Kings tried to emphasize defense. By the 4th quarter, their legs were gone and they couldn’t hit outside shots. DC will need to play a deep bench to keep the starters fresher.
Welp the new intro song took this long to finally grow on me. Caught myself vibing to it for the first time with a lil mini thizz face on
Am I the only fan who shakes my at the Fact the Front Offices of the Kings have a track record of giving up exactly what they needed. Davion Mitchell would've been the perfect Guard that you already had and brought the same principals the org is standing on. Can't go back but damn it's a sad reality we create our own problems not on the court but in the Office.😊
Watched the Knicks play Philly in Abu Dabi this weekend. Mike Brown has instantly transformed the Knicks from the Thibbs’ slow, plodding offense, only using a 7 man rotation, to a 10+ rotation, super conditioned exciting team!
Thankfully, Doug Christie and Scott Perry are preaching what Mike Brown is ACTUALLY doing.
Mike Brown is still a great coach, irregardless of whether some Kings fans are bad-mouthing him or not.🤔
‘We doodoo’ – Matt George 2025
Was not impressed with Doug last year. He handled everything exactly like MB but lucked in 7 wins they wouldn’t have gotten if Fox and Lavine didnt play being forced to play lineups he wouldn’t have.
But I do like what I’m seeing so far and gotta give him a chance. Big test will be if Kings are middling away at 500 20-30 games in and he won’t make the lineup changes he needs to win because a veteran may not like it.
I’ll let it play out
Players get PAID to "buy in" with any team they play for. Why should fans wonder if players are "bought in" with their coaches? The 2 highest paid players on this team have a long history of leading their teams absolutely nowhere. Their defensive weaknesses will be on full show this year just like last. All the coaching in the WORLD isn't going to hide Lavine and Sabonis on defense.
