2017 Schedule released

[LPKingsFan]

Link here: http://www.nba.com/kings/schedule

Of note: road-heavy in 2017, home-heavy in March. No more 4 games in 5 nights. Mostly back to 7pm home starts.

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

We have one TNT game: at home vs. NO on 10/26 with the return if Boogie. Three ESPN games (vs. LAL, GSW, Portland).

Does it seem like we can never get a soft opening schedule? You'd like to be able to surprise out of the gate

 

[ockingsfan]

Wow. The regular season starts two weeks earlier this year!

That's great news, we won't have to wait as long to see the games that count!

 

[Joshoua]

20 of our first 33 are on the road you add that slow start with us tanking the last 10-20 games and we can say hello to a top 4 pick. GIVE ME DONIC, Bagley, or Porter

 

[ockingsfan]

WTF! The Kings got screwed again! The Kings still have 14 back to back games.

I thought the NBA was supposed to cut down on these back to backs, by starting the season 2 weeks earlier!

What's the average number of back to back games? What teams have higher than average and what teams have lower than average back to back game numbers? I haven't done the calculations, but this might be an eye-opener.

Bagley, Donic, Porter, and Ayton we good my friend let them screw us we're getting our alpha this year.

We had a soft opening schedule. It didn't turn out too well.

Right. More than once, actually lol

The only thing anyone should be concerned about when the kings schedule is released is how many nationally televised games they have. How can you be annoyed by the set up of the schedule when we are going to suck really bad anyway?

Not sure what the average back to backs are in the league, but 14 back to back seems to be about the same as the previous years number, even though we are starting 2 weeks early.

I wonder how many back to backs for GSW and the Lakers?

By my count W's have 12 back to backs, while the Lakers have 13.

The eternal optimist in me says if everything falls right we could make a run.. and it might be harder to do that when it's tough schedule while you are still righting the chemistry

Looks like the average for next season is 14.4 per team.

At least opening night is a home game. Can't remember the last time that happened.

You have to go way way way back to 2015-2016 when we lost to the Clippers.

 

[Suicide King]

The average last season was 16.3 back to back, down to 14.4 this year. Also, the dreaded 4 games in 5 nights have been eliminated.

We ended up at the higher end of the spectrum at 16, along with the Grizzlies and Jazz.
The Cavs, Lakers and Pelicans drew the shortest at 13.

This is correct. We have 16 back to backs not 14 like it was stated earlier in this thread.

All four times we meet Golden State it is the front end of a back to back.

Yup and both times we play the Lakers in LA they are on the back end of back to backs.

 

[jcassio]

My assumption by asking the question is that the NBA, in its mission to prevent major teams from resting its star players for nationally televised games, would put a greater burden (of back to back games) on those teams that aren't expected to be big winners, or that won't be in many of those nationally televised games. Unfair, but not unexpected.

I can't believe the season starts in only two months! I am all for the earlier start to the season and less preseason games. Nice to see that the Boogie home reunion game will be televised, hopefully he puts on a show for the world to see.

If we play Kofous and Randolph big minutes, I can see Cousins getting his usual 25 a game. If we match Skal and WCS/Papa up against him, he's going for over 40.

 

[Dime Dropper]

The stars have finally aligned and it looks like I'll make it to my first Kings game ever, against NY in November. I'll make it to G1 centre at some point in the future too.

Anyone know if it's possible to meet players or staff before or after games? Even a picture with Grant and Jerry would be cool.

Bamba and Ayton would be good as well. I'm still not convinced on the future Kings front court and one of those two would be a nice pairing with Fox for the future.

In two months, california will be sports heavy. With the return of the NFL, NBA and NHL, we would no longer be stuck with MLB. (since my giants are trash) it will be nice to have other sporting options come october.
