Kings’ Doug Christie blasts ‘haters, fakers’ in fiery rant before getting torched by Nuggets

In a fiery pre-game address, Doug Christie, the head coach of the Sacramento Kings, expressed his determination to defend his team against critics, labeling them as 'haters' and 'fakers.' This passionate declaration came just before the Kings faced the Denver Nuggets, where they ultimately lost 122-108. The defeat underscores the difficulties Christie encounters in his inaugural full season as head coach, following Mike Brown's tenure. Despite the setback, Christie remains optimistic, promising that the Kings will 'get it right' as they navigate the season.
