Projecting Kings record @ 3/1/2013

[cfechter]

Just looking ahead to the January/february schedule. Looks particularly brutal, although when you're a bad team, it always looks brutal.

After the SA game on 3/1, the Kings will have played a stretch of games where 16 of 21 were on the road. The five home games in that stretch are against PHX, OKC, Utah, Houston and SA (I think we'll win 2 , maybe 3 of those five).

I think the Kings will be lucky to win 10 games between now and then, putting us at about 17-41? Worst case scenario probably around 15-43?

Is it totally depressing that I started looking at the 2013 NBA draft prospects a month ago?

Really depends when (and if) Boogie and Reke are coming back. Reke's "knee bruise" looks more and more suspect by the day.
As for record, 8-21 over two months and 17-42 overall (you're wrong by one game - Kings will have 59 games played by March, not 58) is somewhere on the bright side, 4-25 are also within reach - there's nothing stopping this horror show of a team.
P.S. I like college basketball and watch it right from the start of the season, so basically I looked at draft prospects almost from the start of the season, when hope was still alive. Now you are totally ok.

I think somewhere in the neighborhood of 15-18 wins is realistic.

i think they will be at 12-14 wins

Depressing to be in the lottery again. After so many years.

Looking at the prospects, I think both Nerlens Noel and Shabazz Mohammed would be ideal.

I can't believe it's not even January yet and we are talking about the draft!

I predict 23 wins
