Doug Christie after the Kings 82-70 win over Utah: “Across the board, the effort was spectacular”
better mood after this one I I mean as long as the effort’s there if we lose it’s part of what we do you know but that is more of the team that that I saw um and then you know it continued for me to grow and get better I thought at the end of the third there I had a lineup that you kind of sometimes get to that point and I just I got to make sure that we’re on point with the things they were doing but I thought across the board the effort was spectacular uh guys did everything that we work on and that is expected of them will the ball always go in will we not turn it over sometimes yes but if you do that I can live with that you know it’s going to be sloppy out here sometimes I mean 31 turnovers last game was tough in any even for summer league but how do you what do you guys feel you did a better job of cutting those down um well listen also Utah is not as aggressive I think as Memphis but more than anything I I thought that we kept the ball in the middle of the floor we weren’t on the sidelines as much press us to the sidelines I thought we moved the ball with purpose meaning on time and on target passes we got a little sloppy at the end a couple times but uh more than that then we played the game the right way meaning we found a hot hand we rode the hot hand um I thought the guys got out in transition defensively I think that that’s really what set the tone for us more than anything like turnovers be damn whatever it is like when you play defense like that and guys are in your we’re in their face we’re active hands deflections were a high number uh we got out and ran that’s how we want to play you guys it talked about getting guys being looking like Playmakers but to see Kobe kind of get hot when you kind of need him to maybe have a bust out game how necessary was that for him I mean it was it was big you know we we had a text exchange and and he said listen that was as bad as I’m going to play and I’ll be better for you coach and just trying to build him up and put the air underneath his wings that I feel that he needs you know the first play was for him we were trying to get him going and to his credit his mindset was aggression and I’ve told him attack attack and attack and that’s what he did the whole time how difficult do you feel like it is to get that balance of keeping everybody involved being the leader in that way but also making sure that he’s aggressive and kind of getting his own you know for him that is the delicate balance that’s going to propel him at our level so you’re right it’s it’s a tough thing but I think if he has a tendency to play the right way meaning he’s willing to get off of it he’s willing to get downhill he just has to make sure that his in his mind he’s aggressive first second and third and if he’s aggressive and they stop him he’ll make the right play but when he hesitates when he passes up a shot those are the times that he finds himself in trouble note I cover Mets obviously with Jordan Fernandez just what was your experience with him just working on coaching staff and just what makes him such a ready coach for this position I think more than anything like his detail being around coach Mike for the years that he’s been around him he he has learned uh all the different things that as I watch Mike is meticulous and I think Jordy is meticulous as well so I think that that’s going to be where when you have a young team he’s not going to let certain things slide and make sure that he’s on top of you guys
