Feb 05 Schedule

WhyNotUs?

G-League
hitchhiking on a previous........ remainder December doesn't look all too bad for us. January - other than 3 games (2 @ home) against SA, looks to be equally tame. For my money, FEB is "bring home the bacon" time. Consider:
Six back to backs, six game road trip to the east, 13 road games (out of 18 total) all in 34 days. So with some generosity given to the calendar:
1.30 @ MINN
2.1 Seattle
2.2 @ Golden State
2.4 New York
2.5 @ Blazers
2.8 Suns
2.10 @ Sonics
2.11 Mav's
2.13 @ Celtics
2.15 @ Bulls
2.16 @ Nets
2.22 Hawks
2.24 @ Mav's
2.26 @ Sixers
2.27 @ Wizzards
3.1 @ Bobcats
3.2 @ Magic
3.4 @ Heat

Gotta luvv 'em. GO KINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
WOW FEB looks really really tough, especially with 6 back to backs... That will be a nice test for sure. I see a lot of tough games there, Only gimmie really being Wiaazrds and Bobcats. Take that with a grain cause no game on any night is easy.

5 loses = 5 sleepless night. that is all I can do in February. It is a short month after all.
 
that is murderous.

not a SINGLE two-game home stand to recharge the 'ole batteries.

THen a stretch of NINE out of TEN on the road. Ouch!
 
The Kings shall prevail!


Albeit a bit exhaustedly.

I'd rather them go .500 than have anybody injured or wasted going into the playoffs. Every year they try to finish on fire and win the all important regular season world championship. Where as teams like the Lakers, Spurs, or Pistons waltz their way to the real thing.

That's just not right.

Almost all of those teams won MORE games than the Kings did on the way to their titles (and here I'll take the liberty of counting the Pistons only after they got Sheed and became championship material). The arrogant/lazy Lakers started all that B.S. with their "we'll just turn it on" garbage, and may have ended up with a few fewer titles because of it. That is about as far from a championship mentality as you can get. Great teams care about winning ALL of the time. They want to kick everybody's *** at all times. I have made the same post a few times now where I look at where the championship teams have finished in the league in wins in the past 25 years, and I think its something like 85% have finished #1/#2 in wins, and even a couple of the ones who did not (Pistons last year, Houston in 95) made huge midseason trades and THEN went on the huge run.

If you're not winning a LOT in the regular season, you do NOT win the title. Continuity, pride, momentum, whatever. You can almost always spot a title team long before they ever reach the playoffs. You can drop a game here and there, don't need to put an injured player back in to beat the Hornets. But if you aren't winning 2/3 to 3/4 of your games in the months leading up to the playoffs, might as well go ahead and plan your vacation for late May.

As an aside, people forget that the year we came closest to winning it all (02) was also the year when we ourselves set a franchise record for wins.

that's why I mentioned the mid-season trade thing.

lot of injuries that year. Made a huge trade in Feb. Not the same team in April/May that they were for much of the year. I think the point would be that your full team can't just not try its best to win and then somehow turn it on. For them not to try is probably the ultimate indictment of them as competitors, and you can't just wake up one morning and care enough to be champions. You have to crave victory every time you step on the floor if you want to be a champion, and have to be good enough to in fact pull off most of those victories. If you lack the hunger or the telanet and come wandering on in with 50 wins or so, your postseason results will reflect your malaise.

People forget that during their first title run Hoston won 58 games which was good for second in the league (to the Sonics).

all i know is on

2.13 @ Celtics

I WILL BE THERE!! woot woot!!


tough February...road trip will be tough but i have confidence in them cuz they are teams they are "suppose" to beat...however the "back2back" factor really concerns me...but it will be a true test for sure...but im supporting the boys...i know they can do it...go kings!
 
this isn't a brutal as is could be. a lot of those road games are against the east, i don't midn that at all. the B2B's will suck, but i'd rather be playing the 76ers and zards B2B then the mavs and spurs B2B again.
