Analyzing the 5-game road trip

Bballkingsrock · Feb 28, 2006

I think the Kings will win most of the games.

W Cleaveland
W Atlanta
W Washingston
L New Jersey
W Milwaukee

I feel that Ron Artest can stop Lebron, Gilbert sometimes, and Michael Redd.

GO KINGS!

I think the Cav's game is VERY important. We need to start out with a win for confidence sake, BUT I think it will be one of the hardest for us. They are looking for some blood now after their recent losses. Hopefully, we will not let them get on a roll and get too far ahead early.

I really believe this trip determines the season. I hope the team approaches it as "All or nothing," Win or Go Home."

Can't wait to see the Artest, Lebron matchup!

VF21 · Feb 28, 2006

I'm sticking with my one game at a time philosophy.

I predict a win in Cleveland, with some help from a surprising source...

Yep, I think Vitaly is gonna give Z fits.

I would say Cleveland and New Jersey are gonna be the toughest. Washington is Kings east. but with a Peja instead of an Artest. Milwaukee, pfft. They're rebounding is terrible so we win that. Washington we beat just because they are the same team, w/o Artest and with a more defensive minded center. Cleveland is the swing game because they have been playing really poorly. I don't see us beating Jersey unless we play our absolute BEST. So my hope for this trip would be 3/2 or 4/1.

NJ is the second game of a back to back and we tend not to do to well with those.

Sac.Kings · Feb 28, 2006

as long as our record is better after the road trip than when we started it Ill be happy. 4-1 might be stretching it buts heres hoping we get a break and win some road games.

quick dog · Feb 28, 2006

OK, it's time for a reality check. We have absolutely no idea whether the Kings will win or lose one or all five games. The Kings can beat or lose to any team in the League on any given night. Only a fool would handicap the Kings on a major bet.

Agree on Cleveland & New Jersey. Atlanta could be the dark horse so I think this trip would be 2/3.

KingCookie · Mar 1, 2006

So basically none of us have the slightest clue what to expect.

LOL - ain't that the truth !!!

... now dig this ... even if they win ... I got no clue what they're gonna do the next game.

I'd like to know if vegas/tahoe keep stats on teams in the NBA

ie ... worst bet, worst against the-spread, worst over/under

Sure glad I'm not a betting man, anymore (expecially on the King's).

... just havin' some fun

16to93 · Mar 1, 2006

Their gonna win all 5.

kingsfan916 · Mar 1, 2006

Picked up a nice win tonight hope we can keep it going!

loopymitch · Mar 1, 2006

I'm going to go out on a limb and say we'll beat Clev. lol
As far as Hawks I'd love to say win but I'll be there and I've been a jinx this year so I'll say L
Wash-L
NJ-W
Mil-W
3 out of 5 isn't bad although 5-0 would be great

Kings113 · Mar 1, 2006

Artest will play Joe Johnson well again, though maybe not as well as he did in Sac (no points in 2nd half). I say we get the Hawks game, likely will not be easy though.

LMM · Mar 1, 2006

^^ i've unfortunately been a jinx for 2 yrs in a row.

the kings are on a 2 game losing streak at new jersey. other words, since i had the chance to watch them, they lost both times. =(

but hey, 3rd time's the charm, right? right? it has to be !

Kings113 · Mar 1, 2006

LMM said:

lol, same for me for the Magic

Warhawk · Mar 1, 2006

I predict at least 1-4.

Good win tonight - keep it up guys!

VF21 · Mar 1, 2006

Okay, I will again go one game at a time...

Atlanta will be the game when Bibby gets his groove back. I'm thinking he's gonna do a major job of ruffling the feathers of the Hawks.

Mr. S£im Citrus · Mar 1, 2006

The Hawks terrify me with their intensity... They play hard for forty-eight minutes, and with our propensity for blowing layups, Atlanta is definitely not the team to play on the road; Josh Smith is where opposing teams' layups go to die...

loopymitch · Mar 2, 2006

On a good note hopefully I was there when Bibby got his career high so maybe he'll do it again just for me

Hey bud, I'll be there too

Sec. 119 wearing my new road Artest jersey!

They shall win!

LMM · Mar 2, 2006

BLNINJA #81 said:

COOL!

i'll be in section 7 wearing a bibby jersey. don't know if i'll go with the purple or white. maybe purple since they're on the road.

you'll definitely recognize me, regardless, cause i'll be wearing a crown, bringing a sign, and will flat out be as "kingsy" as possible.

venom_7 · Mar 2, 2006

so far so good. I really do think we lose to jersey. artest can't guard jefferson, carter, and kidd. so we go 4-1 instead of my previous 3-2

elevate · Mar 2, 2006

venom_7 said:

Is carter expected to play agains Sac?

FullAB · Mar 2, 2006

VF21 said:

......that's what I'm talking about.....poetry man.....pure poetry......

G_M · Mar 2, 2006

Atlanta's night life...errrrrr.....strip clubs....are brutal on opposing players.

So, I look for a close game.

LMM · Mar 2, 2006

elevate said:

i think he has already played (after he left the game vs IND) so i don't know why he wouldn't be able to play against us.

i'm pretty sure he's playing.

Diabeticwonder · Mar 2, 2006

Before a few seasons ago the Kings had lost something like 14 straight in Atlanta.
