Welcome Coach Doug Christie!

Malone has to be given some credit, however, for the growth of Jokic over the years. He's helped him turn from a round mound of flab into someone cardio-fit enough to become the MVP. There is no news in the fact that every coach is dependent in part on the talent of his team. This anti-Malone stuff is just a bank shot, tacit or otherwise, to support the idiocy of Vivek and McNair in their decision to fire Brown. I guess they didn't like the the true statement that Vivek has no class and no balls.

I don't think Fox can take on that personality i haven't seen anything to convince me he takes the game personal. We need to find some players who eat sleep hoop and have a fire in their belly. Miss me with those guys who high five and play slap ass with the opponent who just mopped the floor with you ugh.
Don’t post “Fox has never shown competitive fire” or w/e like twelve hours after he showed exactly that then? I’m not saying it’s a discussion not worth having but you posting that after this particular game indicates that you either didn’t watch the game (which is fine) or you’re just more concerned with pushing an agenda. He and Malik spent most of the second half trying to fight Pj Washington and the refs to the point where it was almost hurting the team.
Not questioning how you feel about Vivek. But a question to you and others who feel the same is, why do all of these hiring, firing, player acquisitions, etc fall on Vivek when we don't like it, and credit goes to the coaches, players and GM when we do like the results?
Who will we credit if Doug Succeeds?
In my opinion, two things got Brown fired. The players not making open shots and Rich Paul putting pressure on the Kings the same way he would on a Lakers team with deep pockets.
I don't have any hot takes about the players or coaches, but just hitting open 3s at a consistent clip would be enough to have been winning games. Brown can't control that. The defense was questionable though. I wish both Christie and Brown success going forward.

Because people that have been close to and around him have confirmed that he still has no idea what he's doing with a professional sports team.
We will credit McNair, because he was one who they pushed forward as making the decision. If they came out and said that Vivek made the final decision, then he would get credit,....but they didn't do that

Also, if Steve Kerr can go from being part of the NBA on TNT studio team and the GM of the Phoenix Suns straight to being the head coach of the Golden State Warriors, a move that has seen him win FOUR NBA Championships, Doug Christie can most definitely go from being a lead assistant over the past 5 seasons to being a head coach.
Give the man a chance.

It's why people are reaching back to the 4-5 cherry pick to attack him now on other outlets. I guess some have criticized him using a search firm to land Monte but when your first two GM picks are terrible I think maybe it shows that's what you need to do. You can't even call him cheap after he fired the guy he just extended.
I honestly can't think of any thing he's done since Monte came on board that shows he is overstepping his bounds. Really he should be signing checks and little else unless we find ourselves in a GM search. He's definitely not a great owner but he's far from the worst. The Portland situation as you and I are both attuned to is far, far, far worse.

He’s also definitely not cheap, which I’ve seen people claim and always makes me roll my eyes.
Def need a longer track record to see where the verdict is on him - and with franchise tending towards major turnover it will be a huge test on that. But I think it would be unfair to still say he’s absolute bottom tier of owners as of today.

One thing I noticed in last night's game against Dallas, there was a lot more motion on the offensive court, with people zooming around the court to different positions. I hope to see more of that in upcoming games. It also looked like there was an increase in screens, including those set by the guards.
