Doug Christie started hot as a coach of the Sacramento Kings, with the 10-2 team and winning tight matches, the genre they lost under Mike Brown. However, the team has gone 5-8 since then and was run from its field by a team from Warriors energized on Friday evening, 132-108. This brought Sacramento to 0.500 and made them assist as a seeded n ° 10 in the West, with Phoenix near behind.
After this defeat, Christie called a meeting of her starters – Malik Monk, Demar Derozan, Zach Lavine, Keegan Murray and Domantas Sabonis – reports Chris Haynes.
The first five Christie met only played 136 minutes in seven games, but he has a net note of -3.5 because the group was terrible on the defensive (a defensive note of 124.1 which represents six points for 100 possessions worse than the worst defense of the league). The Kings knew that exchanging the De’Aaron Fox (who forced his way) would be a setback for the defense, but an improved offense was supposed to compensate for this. Instead, Monk and Lavine were more your turn / my turn rather than playing each other, the Halfcourt offensive is always awkward – they must return to more DHO actions with Sabonis, it’s a force from which they have moved away from.
Before Christie took over, the Kings were 13 to 18 years old but had a clear rating of +1.5. This means that they should have been 16-15, but their difficulties in tight matches cost them. Since Christie was trained, Sacramento has a 15-10 year file, but with a clear note of -0.7, their early success under Christia in tight matches is the difference (the net note suggests that they should be 12 -13 or 13-12 under Christie).
Christie has the team that plays faster and opened the offensive, 1.7 points for 100 possessions better since the change of coaching. However, this is not enough to compensate for the defense of 3.9 points for 100 possessions worse.
Kings’ management and property estimated that a change of coaching was necessary, but the real problem remains a wrong list.
