Doug Christie, from (almost) best to worst with the Kings

Doug Christie With 12 wins and 44 losses, c Kings are now the red beacon of the NBA. An unpleasant surprise for the Sacramento franchise, which nevertheless showed its ambitions despite a questionable workforce at the start of the campaign. Except the losses are piling up at a historic rate…

With a current 14-game losing streak, the club just tied the club’s “record” in this area and could end the season with the worst record in team history.

“There are many games that we could and should have won, but we didn’t. It happens, and streaks can go either way. I’ve experienced that as a player and now as a coach. What I know is that adversity doesn’t define you, but it clarifies things about you as an individual and as a team, because when you face it, you’re going to hang out, fight and communicate.” trying to be positive Doug Christie.

Pain as a driving force

Promoted to “head coach” to replace Mike Brown, who was considered too negative by the group, the former defender failed to restart this group, on the contrary. And after eating his white bread as a player during the club’s best years, between 2000 and 2005, at the behest of Rick Adelman, he now eats his brown bread.

“I had the best moments of the Sacramento Kings, their best record (in the regular season), and now we have to face this.”, he explains to the Sacramento Bee. “There is an average that would get us to the playoffs and make our fans proud, and we just keep working every day to make the progress necessary to reach that goal.”

It’s impossible to think about a title in the short term, and the Kings are instead targeting a top 3 pick in the next draft to bounce back. And let Doug Christie finally delete, injury since the 2002 conference finals.

“The pain you feel, and especially the pain I feel, being so close to something and not being able to reach it for Sacramento, has been pushing me for a long time”concludes Doug Christie. “It continues. I’m not going to stop coaching them. I’m not going to stop being positive towards them and showing them that other teams have had difficulties and now they’re in very good positions.”
