ALREADY A SUPER TEAM

#61
They are a competitive young team playing the easy part of their schedule.

We’ll see how good coming up.

Team going in the right direction though

The Kings have played one of the top 3 toughest schedules in the league to date. Are holding their own. Performing well above expectations. And have already reached 60% of their projected win total 1/3rd of the way into the season.

But I guess some people are just going to hold the letter of the law on "super team" instead of letting people have fun with this for the first time in years.

Super? Becoming Legitimately good. Possible.

KIngs have won the games they should. Which, that in iteself is progress.

But,
Kings have feasted on a number of bad teams: Miami, Magic, Suns twice, Bulls, Cavs, Wizards, and Hawks.
Beaten a few sub .500 teams: Wolves twice, and Jazz


Kings W-L against teams above .500

4-8
Have you run this stat on all other teams in the league? Because I would imagine most teams have a worse record against better teams.

This is legitimately the case for every team in that 7-18 ranked teams in the NBA (everyone but the elite teams and the scrub teams). The goal is to beat up the bad teams and look for a split against the good teams and parlaying that into being a playoff team.

Also are you really complaining about us losing to:

Toronto: Top 3 team
Golden State: Top 3 team
Milwaukee: Top 5 team
Denver: Top 5 team
Memphis: Top 10 team
Clippers: Top 10 team
Lakers: Top 10 team

Really, the only "bad" losses among good teams we played was the game against the Jazz without Mitchell and the game against the Pacers without Oladipo. Even still we played those game on the road against 2 veteran teams that have been together for awhile.
