Kings Going Down for the New Year...

[Kingster]

..unless they can win on the road. And right now they have the worst road record in the league (1-9). And for the most part, they've played the fewest road games (of the lower tier teams).

How is 1-9 worse than 1-14 (New Jersey)?

That's what "for the most part" meant...

Naw homie, you said, "..unless they can win on the road. And right now they have the worst road record in the league (1-9). And for the most part, they've played the fewest road games (of the lower tier teams)."

That to me means that nobody has a worse record than they. They would have to lose 5 more games to be as bad as New Jersey. Being that they have 5 chances to tie NJ, a little optimism on my part believes that means they have 5 chances to be BETTER than the team with the worst record in the league.

The confidence they get from winning at home will eventually leak over into the road games.

Ok, for the record: The Kings have the second worst road record in the entire NBA. I feel so much better now...

THIRD worst....if we are being accurate.

(Charlotte is 1-10)

Its not like the road losses are blowouts. In fact we lost several in the final seconds.

This is just a young team, and they dont know how to execute down the stretch yet. Road wins will come eventually.

Yep. They will obviously learn how to close out those games, it's only a matter of time and experience. Each of their last 4 raod games they were in a position to win it with 5 minutes left in the game. That is not indicative of a 10% road win team.

What is the point of this thread?

That the Kings are going DOWN in the new year!

 

[NME]

What is the point of this thread?

If the Kings don't win, they'll lose.

This.

The 1/9 on the road has been mostly bad luck (or bad FT % )...Whatever, as seen in the games, It should change from here to February.

I pity the fool who thinks the Kings won't win!!!!!!

 

[VF21]

Since this thread is not that much different from the one that's predicting how many games the Kings will win the rest of the year, I see no reason for them both to continue. Therefore, I'm closing this one...
