2019/2020 Schedule release Aug 12 Noon

[LoungeLizard]

NBA officially releases schedule for the upcoming season tomorrow. This season cannot start soon enough, I am so amped to see the progression of our young core. Seeing Fox play in the USA blue/white scrimmage should give all Kings fans a heaping dose of optimism. The kid is a flat out stud!

Rumor has it we will start on the road Oct 23 vs Phoenix with our home opener a couple days later Oct 25 vs Portland.

Here are some highlights for the 2019-20 season schedule.

A full list schedule hasn't been posted yet.

[Bosnian Diehard]

Pelicans have 20 national TV games, the Mavs have 13. And we get one.

The disrespect...

I agree, and there's also this:

Ref / Scheduler You Suck
Ref / Scheduler You Suck ...

IMO, the theme for the Kings for this season is to explain to the world that there is a big difference between the Washington Generals and Oh Bleep We Gotta Play THEM? It appears the Kings are ready to make that point in a very emphatic way. This is going to be a heckuva ride folks.

Who the hell did Vivek pee off at the league scheduling office? This is brutal.


But I believe in our young super team.

 

[Tetsujin]

The ****ing Phoenix Suns have more games on TNT than the Kings do.

 

[John Galt]

82 games? 2 against east, 4 against west? fine.

The Pels have 20 national TV games this season which is going to be incredibly awkward when Zion turns out to not be Lebron 2.0.

The league is using the Kings to sell League Pass subscriptions.

 

[63royals]

If anyone has access to enough resources, it would be interesting to look at the correlation between number of national TV games and referee favoritism.

 

[Tetsujin]

The league is using the Kings to sell League Pass subscriptions.

Considering how head-over-heels in love with De'Aaron Fox all the national media types are, that's not entirely out of the question.

That is not bad. Some of those teams will be resting their stars for playoff. Better that schedule in April than any other month.

 

[LoungeLizard]

Pffft, no TNT games? Only one ESPN? I have a feeling networks will flexing hard to get the Kings on later in the year. The New Orleans hype is so laughable. Whatevs.

They could and should win against Cleveland, Minni, SA, and GS (if Klay isn't operating at 100%).

 

[fansinceday1]

The pels with 20 national games. That is just laughable. Did grant really just say that the pels/knicks game in NY is being billed as a top flight game? Unbelievable........

 

[Kingster]

In the first 10 games the Kings should win against Phoenix, Charlotte, NY, and Atlanta. Then if they just upset one out of Portland (2x), Utah (2x), Denver and Toronto they are standing at .500 after 10 games. After 10 games they should start to get their sea legs with the new coaching staff and start to get wins against teams the national media don't expect them to win. Playoffs or BUST.

I love that NO is getting all the attention. Believe me, the Kings' players aren't going to be sleeping on NO.

 

[tastyburger]

Call me a butthead, but I like that everyone's sleeping on us. It will only be that much more gratifying when we make the playoffs to us true fans... Bring it on...

We already have a young superteam. They just gave the Kings chips for their shoulders. I won't complain about that.

 

[kingsboi]

I know it sucks for fans that don't have League Pass or don't live in Sacramento that the Kings only have one national TV game, but I like that they aren't getting any recognition. Just go out there, be humble and rack up wins. The rest will come.

 

[Section 101]

Lakers with the lowest travel miles for West Coast teams then Clips then Pels. Clearly shows league favoritism. Suns are #2 overall a full 10,000 more miles.

Here is the Kings whole schedule for the 2019-20 season.

I can't wait to see the Kings shock the world and make the playoffs next season.

Lots of rim-rattling... stuffed at the basket by a 6-10 fully grown man of an athlete. How exciting!!!

Despite all signs increasingly pointing towards De'Aaron eventually becoming a top ten player in the league over the next several seasons and Marvin Bagley being the equivalent of the basketball terminator, I still believe that Harry has the talent to become the best player on the team.

That may just be my love of his particular connection with the Kings fanbase making me biased though.

If the league showed the Pels this much favoritism a couple of years ago, AD would still be in New Orleans.

I’m still with you on that. In no way is that a knock on either Fox or Bagley who are going to be elite, but HGIII has such a special feel for the game for a guy who hadn’t played a full season in years. If his knees weren’t what they are he was an easy Number 1 pick for someone else who would be building their franchise around him right now.

We’re lucky. This is an incredible argument to be able to have.
