I really hope Doug Christie doesn’t lose his job over this. He is one of the few bright spots left on this team.
i wish christie had a better team his passion for the team is inspiring but this team is just so depressing… 😓
Not enough. Go nuts man. It’s all our hard earned money.
Don’t change man. Satans are using corporate training to scare people and control everyone. That’s how they control the world and 🇺🇸
Time to get angry and revolt. This performance is unacceptable.
It shows how a dumb GM who knows nothing about 🏀 can destroy the whole club.
He just became my favorite coach in the league. He cares and he isn’t scared to say it.
I love doug
Bring in the Stockton Kings!!!!
time to take the team to the roof again?
What the nba needs to realize is the hawks are actually better without trae young.
Let Russ be Russ.😂😂😂
This team / organization is hopeless and useless.
I meannnn keep tanking unintentionally 🤷🏽♂️ who cares. We need youth with length. Pause, even tho I don’t play that game lol but yeah we suck. Trade who we can and move on
All the while I thought Kings are better than the Suns
Constant negativity and poor posture of senior players like Schroder is contagious. Get rid of bad apples.
They need to play with 2 bigs! Move raynaud or drew in the starting five as center move sabonis to the power forward position. Russ the PG zach the SG and Demar the SF. It is easy! Okc is doing it!!!!
They better keep doug and get rid of the players
Sabonis lead starters with 12 points. Derozan 1/6 for 4 points smh
3-9. You should be 9-4 😢
Kings has a Manager, Russ and Monk problem. That is all.
With domas out they come to only 3 pts down.domas comes back in 14 pts down.why can’t they see this
He should change the starters and send a message to the veterans. I would make everyone except Russ and sabonis come off the bench. Start Keon Ellis, Clifford, and Devin Carter
“At 55 I would have showed you better than that” 💀💀
Doug is so mad like somebody else did this. No you did Doug, you didn’t have the team ready to play
Christie can yell all he wants but if he doesn't have the balls to play players that are doing what he wants, not just names, then why should he be in the job?
Why is anyone shocked! I expected this when they signed Doug as the coach! This is all on Vivek!! Terrible roster put to gather and coaching! Boycott kings game and don’t purchase tickets!! This is th only way Vivek will get the message!! I did it! I will not spend a dollar on anything kings this season and didn’t purchase any tickets this season!
The crazy thing is NBA GMs act like roster construction is rocket science, when literally the majority of us NBA fans, the ones that have it in our blood, could do a better job.
My prediction at the preseason was 2-10 and it is close to the actual 3-9 🎉
I understand the passion and frustration, believe me, but this is an over reaction from Doug Christie in my opinion. The team needs time to gel. Every team in the NBA gets blown out sometimes.
Matt: Tell Doug to bench all the vererans, we fans want to see the young players….
Respect Doug so much. Thank you for saying how we feel.
Honestly, I think these kings players are just lazy to play and get back in transition. They just don’t care at 3-9, I don’t see any physicality period
“ Ima foul the shit outta somebody “ lmao love it
The last time the kings won was the last time Dylan cardwell played .. play the big man. Need rebounding, help defense and rim protection
Let’s just keep it real & rename this team until they figure out how to run an organization. The Sacramento B-team, The Sacramento Queens, The Sacramento Retirement Community, The Sacramento Suckers, The Sacramento Screwups, feel free to add to this list. Fire Mike Brown, trade Fox. Morons is an understatement.
Deaaron Fox stunk up the joint last night in San Antonio and everyone is mad
I love that doug christe is our HC, im a life long kings fan i remember that tiny stadium in 85. Doug as a player was a savage and left it all on the court, and he coaches the same way
I watched the full highlights and it’s obvious not how hard they played etc it’s that they literally aren’t good enough and all too short . The ownership and management is trash and people like Monte McNair deserve to be arrested for how bad they are at this
Brown calls out his team gets fired…. Christie living off past as player. Should be fired😊
Look at the weak ass schedule the Mavs have played and they are 3-9 also. They’ve played the Wizards twice, Pacers, Pelicans, and Suns and are 2-3 in those 5 games. 😅
At this point I feel like Vivek should pay the fans not the players for witnessing pathetic, lethargic and uninspiring basketball. I don’t mind that they suck as long as they show heart, but this is way too much! They are not a team, just a bunch of individuals trying to grab stats and highlights to get their ticket out of here. They took the joy out of watching the game away.
I would say I feel sorry for Doug, but I know he doesn’t want anyone feeling sorry for him. Doug is fighting a ghost. A ghost that has players give up in Sacramento. The only other sports franchise I’ve seen have the same ghost is the raiders. Players come to Sacramento and give up. They play for a few games and just throw their hands up. It’s time to blow it up and bring in players who will fight. Even if the players aren’t great, they need to fight.
Monte McNair needs to be arrested for how bad he did
Good for Doug. His starters played half-assed. The last 3 games have been building to Doug's release at the press conference. The average +/- for the Kings' 3 veteran/all-stars, DeRozan, Westbrook, & Sabonis was a -34. Embarrassing. I think this particular play in the 3rd quarter when Westbrook drove the ball wildly down the lane, then tossed up a terrible attempt for a bailout from the ref. The ref didn't take the bait because he wasn't fouled. Instead, a Hawks reserve guard grabbed the ball out of the air, drove the ball down the center of the court, completely uncontested, and scored easily. Meanwhile, Russ was doing his best LeBron impression by extending his arms to the ref asking, "blow the whistle." I could tell Coach Cristie was ticked off by Westbrook's body language and lack of hustle…it was obvious, Coach Christie took that sh!t personally.
This is the first time I believe in Coach.. this is great to see.. I have Doug’s back now.. this is on the team!
It’s not Doug’s fault. This team is trash like trash trash. No bigs no true wings and people saying “oh, well the players are upset cause they were talking about being traded” It doesn’t matter you are payed millions of dollars to be a professional and these past 2 games have been an abomination. Shame on the players and shame on the GM for putting together the worst roster in the league.
Just going to say I agree with DC that was pathetic, time to start suspending and fining the so called vets. I was happy when he put in all the young guys, as much as have bashed Carter in the past at least he was trying last night. Clifford had a play or two but I would rather loose by 15 with the young guys playing hard and learning than to watch the cry baby Bulls West and friends just being skid marks. I love our coach and at 55 he could probably still put up more of a fight than most of our starters
Blame the players not the coach
