Kings assistant coach Doug Christie joined Cattles & Ramie to discuss the team’s win over the Grizzlies on Monday, how important Harrison Barnes has been for the team and organization, and more.
Topics discussed include:
- His thought on the team’s insane first-quarter shooting Monday.
- Golden 1 Center is not like Arco Arena yet, but Doug believes it’s getting there with how involved and loud the fans have been recently.
- If he’s ever experienced a quarter like Harrison Barnes has Monday night.
- The impact Harrison Barnes has on the team and organization.
- “I think he’s the soul and spirit of our team. I think he’s the professional example, what you want in Kings’ basketball on the court and off the court.”
- Defensively, the team was locked in Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies, especially in the second half. Doug explains how they can carry that over and sustain that level of play going forward.
- His thoughts on general manager Monte McNair receiving a contract extension.
