I don’t believe so. Getting blown out by 10 or more points in more than 15+ games is an automatic red flag. The team has enough talent like what a lot of analyst around the league already stated. He’s always getting out coached even by lesser coaches of injured teams and he’s always playing behind every game. The plays are just bad and stagnant like there’s almost no change to the playbook. DeMar called it out already in a game where they felt like utilization was poor. There’s not been a single game where the Kings have even held the Lead this season. Hell it’s like Doug just throws the guys together like in 2k and literally says make it work or win me the game… wtf is that supposed to be or mean? I still don’t understand how playing vets is a developmental thing as well like it’s not. It’s putting a cap on this team and it’s hurting all around. The Kings are too infamous like they’re headed back to the purgatory days of where they draft a player or pickup a player either or and not play them because our owner or front office decides it’s not happening. The same happened with Keon as well because our organization didn’t want “young guys” to play but instead play the horrible lineup of Russ, DeMar, Lavine like it’s too obvious. Even some of our season ticket holders are plain delusional if they wanna watch losing like it’s something fun when it’s pathetic, and sad feels like shits just so miserable for the eyes. I see no future in this organization tbh because I feel like our owner is gonna blow a fuse before we even rebuild. He’s always been a shortcut guy and I don’t see any improvement until he sells this team to a competent owner. Wanna know something that I can probably bet on, they gonna draft another guard until Vivek gets the Steph for his GSW fetish rebuild dream 😴.
Doug Christie is awesome! Just not as a head coach. The pistons were decent last year also Brendan. Sometimes I feel like he gets lazy when talking about things.
