Doug Christie gets a good whiff of some sniffing salts and WAKES UP.
I know Kings have been terrible this year will he be back?
Yes…he has one more cheap year on his deal. Vivek is incompetent AND a very cheap owner, so Doug will lead the tank next year too
Might not make sense depending how the league changes the tanking rules in the offseason
Don’t have to worry about tanking if you just genuinely suck
points to head
Sure but if the tanking rules don’t reward losing might as well fire and get a better coach to lose less and develop a winning culture and good habits for your new early first rounder.
That’s what competent quality front offices do, man. We don’t have it
I’ll light a candle for Kings fans tonight. I do one every night but especially tonight. Wouldn’t wish being a Kings fan on my worst enemy.
We were so fucking close too. Had a great young team. Then POOF
But then Vivek would have to pay for a better coach…lol
Seriously though, there’s no way they can amend the rules enough that being a bottom tier team doesn’t result in a better draft pick. The odds may get equalized for “lottery picks” so there’s less incentive to tank from 4th worst to dead last but still incentive to be in the bottom 10-15 or whatever ends up as the new format.
They could of course penalize lotto odds based on flagrant tanking but if you just generally suck then it’s hard to prove tanking lol
You must be new here. Vivek fires coaches that perform the second output dips. Then keeps poor performers for as long as possible.
Zero chance he’s back if they get a top 3 pick. You don’t risk a terrible coach and tank commander ruining your prospect’s development but if they get a 4-10 pick then Vivek will let him command the tank for another year
You don’t risk a terrible coach and tank commander ruining your prospect’s development
This is the Kings we are talking about, anythings possible
You do if you’re an incompetent org with no direction and cheap ownership. They haven’t developed anyone this decade
Why is he a terrible coach, cause he can’t win with a sucky roster? No team with Westbrook is going to do well.
I’ve been spamming this point in /r/kings for awhile. Houston trading Jalen Green and Detroit with Ivey are the perfect illustrations of a bad coach screwing up a high draft pick.
He’s like crackhead version of Joe mazulla
Mazulla is the crackhead version of Mazulla though
Mazulla too calm and sociopathic to be a crackhead
True, he is more of a drug dealer and not drug user.
Mazulla is the manufacturer
Mazulla is the cocaine
Mazulla is Gus from Breaking bad
Methzulla?
The way he tosses it lmao
It’s like my dog after I toss him a slice of pickle. He catches it, then spits it a few feet away and glares at me.
Shit I might need to hit the smelling salts too if I were forced to watch the kings every night.
When your team’s performance is so bad, you need smelling salts to survive the postgame.
You put them too close to your nose and that shit burns!! You’ll breathe good tho!!
Found a pack of them in the office first aid kit and spent the rest of the day tricking people into taking a big whiff of one. It ran about 50⁄50 on whether people laughed or got legit pissed
it’s just a prank, bro!
Oh yeah, total dick move. It was almost 35 years ago and I was young, obnoxious and thought I was hilarious.
How old are you?
At least 35.
He was 1 year old when he was forced into working as an office manager
The big six-oh
how long do they last? I have fitness test coming up lol
A very short amount of time. They just wake/fire you up by causing an involuntary spasm. They’re like a big whiff of mega-Vicks paired with your muscles sneezing. Powerlifters use ‘em to get the muscles firing before a big lift.
At the risk of feeling like a degenerate huffer you can give household ammonia a sniff for the same effect.
You just know he was feeling sleepy lol. That shit got him going 😆
I’ll never not laugh at a smelling salts video. Dudes either die or go Super Saiyan and it’s great to watch either direction.
The ammonia burns your nose and lungs
The influence of triple double cocaine bear is wearing off on the rest of the kings. Imagine doing all this and then losing by 24 points lol
What
The
Fuck
Is this? Crack?
Legal crack. (Not actually crack but might as well be)
its really not the smells just potent. think of those vicks rubs just way stronger. its useless imo
How is it useless? Even if it works purely as a placebo it has a use.
Not useless, it’s good for keeping someone awake, which can be very important if for example: someone has fainted (like someone who has hemophobia, and notices they’re bleeding from a car accident) and they need to be moved expeditiously for their own safety.
A lot of athletes use them sparingly for big moments, like power lifters using them to just get an adrenaline rush and focus, or an athlete just has a bad case of brain fog due to something unrelated.
It’s not pleasant at all, it’s about as enjoyable as you’d imagine having a toenail being slowly pulled off, but it’s also harmless if used sparingly, as the most harm that can be caused is to your own sinuses, and repeated use has diminishing effects.
It’s like an epi-pen but for focus and alertness. And no, it’s not the same as someone with ADHD taking Adderall. As it doesn’t add any chemicals to your body, it’s just your body producing a certain kind of chemical (adrenaline mostly) as a reaction to the scent itself.
One huge no-no with using smelling salts is to never use them to mask concussions, as it very much will, leading to increased potential for CTE and brain damage. (which is why it’s been banned in some sports like Boxing since the 50s)
O.o
Ammonia inhalants
Nah it’s safe. Lifeguards and first aid use it to wake up unconscious people
I don’t get this at all. Doug Christie had an excellent chance to fall asleep and not have to see the Kings play basketball and he ruined it with smelling salts? This man is diabolical.
In the 80s they’d sniff something different 😂
I LIKE THIS GUY!!!!
TIL: Mike Woodson is an assistant coach for the Kings
Lmao, Spurs announcer Jacob hit that live on air with Sean Elliot. It was funny, then he had to tell Sean to take over, hit’em like a ton of bricks!
Never Forget
How to spot an addict
The Kings are a certified clown show.
And the Mavericks are a near perfect squad/organization right now, yeah?
Did Russ take a hit too?
Tas Melas you’re next!
Lmfao
The FTF episode where Nick brought in smelling salts for everyone to try on air was peak television.
That shit must be strong as hell😂
It is. If you were stuck in an enclosed room with ammonia gases your lungs would essentially burn and you’d die. But a small capsule and a quick toss – it’ll wake you up from anything (except a coma)
What Luka Doncic basketball does to a mf
Man all these sniffing salt vids ive been seeing on this sub makes me wanna get some and see what the fuss is about
It might be slightly sadistic, but I find it absolutely hilarious whenever I see someone that gets a painful hit of smelling salts.
Better than cocaine
That’s how that coke was hittin in the 70s and 80s
Stings the nostrils
that’s the same stuff he gave to Vivek to get the job
If it’s not Ahhh! Sniffing Salts, I don’t want it
Its funny how some drugs are legal
i cant believe we lost to these goons twice
He just threw it on the floor lmao
Where can I get some of these I wanna try them so bad
Our entire coaching staff does smelling salts right before the game as well. It’s wild as shit to see how dedicated these new age coaches are to the competition of it all hahahaha.
This is a completely new thing that started happening.
Why can’t I stop watching? This is the funniest shit I’ve seen. The way he tosses it and slap five with everybody like “alright! Come on! Let’s go!” 😂
Those late nights with a dog leash with the misses are starting to catch up.
I never realized he became the head coach for the Sacramento Kings. I remember him playing for the raptors a long time ago and thought he left the nba. I guess he didn’t.
