Sacramento: So, Doug Christie is stepping up as the interim head coach for the Kings after Mike Brown got the boot. It’s been a whirlwind, right? Just a day after the firing, the Kings faced off against the Lakers and lost 132-122. Ouch! That makes it six losses in a row for them.
DeMar DeRozan, who’s been around the block, mentioned how weird it is not having Brown around. He said everyone was in shock when they heard the news. It’s tough to process such a sudden change, especially when you’re used to a certain routine.
Brown was supposed to coach that game, but then boom! He’s out after a rough start to the season. Now, Christie, who used to play for the Kings, is taking the reins. He’s got a big job ahead of him.
In the game, the Kings started off slow, giving up 40 points in the first quarter. They were down by 20 at one point! But De’Aaron Fox and the crew fought back, cutting the lead to six before falling short again.
Christie believes the Kings have the talent to turn things around. He’s confident they can win, but he’s not looking for any grace period. He wants results right away. He’s all about that hard work and commitment from the players.
He’s not easing into this role; he’s demanding a lot from the team. Christie knows they can do it, and he’s ready to push them to get there. No time to waste!
