"New Coach Enthusiasm Bump" seems to be a real thing

 

[Caccia]

Why does the preview keep showing Malik's number as #1? Are there no proofreaders in Sacramento?

 

[Sluggah]

So different.

 

[Tetsujin]

FWIW the Kings bench has gotten up and clapped for their team more in their first couple of minutes here than they have all season

Come on man. Pulling at straws.

 

[The_Jamal]

Hmm that's interesting. Kayte just said Doug's already talked with everyone about their roles; who the starters are, who the top 4 bench guys are and who the end of benchers are.

 

[Joshyjosh31]

Why does Davis have to yell every play damn

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

'Day to' having no problems against Sabonis

Best way to draw a foul if you’re a laker lol

 

[megapoxy]

With Lebron not playing (regarding his h2h record vs DDR) can Sabonis return to his winning streak vs AD?

Did… Did Mike Brown not do that?

Grew up watching Mikki Moore.

 

[Caccia]

Looking a little better after a shaky start. Murray is the primary defender on Reaves tonight. Monk's shooting looks hot.

 

[Tetsujin]

At the very least, the Kings have moved the ball quicker to start this game than they did since the Nuggets game.

 

[TaxMan]

To think anything will significantly change, 24 hours after Browns firing is silly. Looking to see how Christie motivates the team over time, in game rotations, and defensive emphasis.

Literally every play

It's possible that things around the margins can change right away......and even someone feeling slightly different, can change their shooting

generally, a game or two after a coach gets fired, especially if the players were out on him (who knows, but seems to be pointing that way with us), there's a bump in team play. It's after that where things either start to go downhill or if there's actual change.

 

[Tetsujin]

Keon already in the game!

 

[Tetsujin]

Doug does not look like he’s slept in the last couple of days lol

 

[The_Jamal]

Did… Did Mike Brown not do that?

Possibly, but he didn't operate his rotations that way. We had quite a few injuries, but I'm not sure we could ever say we had a set top 9 all year.

 

[The_Jamal]

K3ON

 

[Tetsujin]

We actually hit a catch and shoot three

 

[Tetsujin]

AD apparently allowed to just play soccer lol

 

[Caccia]

Keon second off the bench, Immediately cans a three and forces a turnover.

 

[The_Jamal]

Sick pass from Monk. Domas hits the 3

 

[megapoxy]

Lakers with 3/5 wide open corner 3s already (Reaves, Christie and Rui).

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Keon second off the bench, and forces a turnover.

He's going to thrive under Christie....and in looking at the stats with him on the floor, it's possible that it's the one thing that could win them a lot more games

 

[Tetsujin]

Will be interesting to see who guy number 9 is in Doug’s rotation.
