I don't think I'll be turning the game off when we're down 20 ever again this season.

Christie Kings got FIGHT

 

[jiimbob]

I’m now understanding why Mike Brown no longer has a job.

I’ve never seen a team take after the personality of its coach with such zeal in my life. This is absolutely a Doug Christie team lol

 

[LoungeLizard]

My heart is still racing!!!

I love this team!!! (Shout out to the GOAT @VF21 RIP)

 

[Siranthony]

the Kings spent pretty much the entire fourth quarter onwards having Keon guard up on Jaime (bigger wing forward) and have Keegan guard Tyler Herro (small guard). Both guys are special special defenders.

Keon so impressive even the hater in chief had to say something

I did! Now I regret it, what a game!

Keon was like Neo in The Matrix. He was everywhere making plays.

Only question is how Doug faces his next big test here: Keon is too good to not play 30 MPG night in night out. And you ideally want him starting to get more rotations on the other teams best players.

So can he get buy-in from Monk or DDR to come off the bench? Can he get either one of them to be "fine" with not closing, because it's very clear that Keegan and Keon need to close defensively. They elevate this team to a totally different level in the clutch.

To be fair he loves Keon and Devin and really likes Keegan and Fox. He just hates “Lowbonis” as he calls him. He knows Kings fans hate him so he throws us a bone every once in a while haha

Yeh it’s a tough situation. I think he probably keeps Monk starting but puts Keon in a bit earlier. For awhile there under Mike they would pull Monk at around 3 minutes into the quarter. Closing is that much harder. I’m hoping Doug is just flexible and plays the matchups.

Herro rattled his cage in the 1st quarter and they paid the price.

 

[LT-Sac-Town]

Yes, when do we get public apologies from Steve Kerr, Mike Malone, & George Karl?

Christie will probably use Keon on some bigger players, like he already has against Paul George and Jaquez

Yeah, I'd be surprised if Christie made the switch on Friday, but I thin he can really show his coaching acumen by doing 2 things, even if Keon doesn't start:

-He never has a game below 25 minutes the rest of the season
-He closes

Trey hit the Sam Casell!

they didn’t like the way he was fired, that was the biggest issue. Absolutely no one did, it was nonsense.

0.5 game back of the 10 seed
2.5 back of the 6 seed
3.5 back of the 4 seed

Incredible. Feels like this team has been dead 30 different times this year and they yet again found a way to fight back into the playoff race

Absolutely!
