I am gonna go with 8-7. That will be acceptable to me for november. Anything less i will be a tad disappointed. Anything more then I will start talking crazy things like playoff because December schedule is kinda the same as far as how tough it is. We will need to jump out pretty good because the April schedule is tough and one that i see an under .500 record.
Kings have 10-5 in home vs. away games.
Out of those only 3 (vs. Detroit, vs. Portland and vs. Atlanta) are against clear non-playoff teams. I would probably put them as wins
Kings play 2-game series (home+away) against Wolves, Lakers, Jazz and Pacers within this month. It's probably no more than 4 wins out of 8 games.
Finally home games vs. Brooklyn, SAS and GSW and away game in Chicago. I think it can go either 1-3 or 2-2. Let's call me an optimist for 9-6 prediction.

They have to stay at around .500 or better over the course of November.
This team doesn't need to make the playoffs, but they need to be in the hunt. A record that keeps them in the hunt is fine with me.

well we got chicago without Rose. Minnesota without Love. Golden state without Bogut. our preseason loss vs. GS they played their starters 35-38 min. Our starters 28 min or less. we can win vs Golden State. Not sure about Indy back to back and all. We have played well vs San Antonio. I think .500 is very attainble in November.

@ Chicago - going to be hard, even without rose they play lock down D and you can be sure boogie and reke will be pressured. could go either way. Loss
@Minnesota - should win. Without love you have to put this down as a W
@ Indiana - Loss
vs Golden State - should win - thornton loves GS and without bogut, boogie should dominate. W
vs Detroit - Win
vs San Antonio - will be close. Loss though
@ L.A. Lakers - we love the lakers. Win
vs Portland - weaker side than in previous seasons. Could go either way. Loss
vs Atlanta - weaker side. Win
vs Brooklyn - could go either way. All about managing their back court. Loss
vs L.A. Lakers - Lakers meshing by now. Loss
@ Utah. Loss
vs Utah. Win
vs Minnesota. Loss
vs Indiana. Loss
6-9. Thats my feelings on how we'll start. Its vital we make the most of those 50/50 games ie minny, utah, portland, brooklyn which could see us closer to 9-9.
Its going to be hard but thats first game v CHI is a huge measuring stick for how far we have come. If we can start off the season on a winning note we could be 4-1 heading into SA and LAL

You'd think so wouldn't you? Yet I somehow foresee Boogie dominating from the outside, if he does dominate at all.

so we beat Minn away and lose to them at home? Also vs. Indiana Hibbert will have tough time keeping up with Cuz and we have owned David West in the past with Size. Hoping James Johnson makes a difference in these type games agasinst players like Granger. We really never played a top notch SF in preseason I look foward to seeing how Johnson fares against those types. Also looking at the depth chart of these teams I love some of our matchup with Brooks, Thornton, Hayes against some of these guys.

The season is over if that is true. First 6 weeks ARE the Kings season. Easy as can be. If they don't get it done then, it will just be 4 more months of lottery planning. Have to stay around .500 with all your home games in a 6 week stretch of the season.

@ Chicago - W. I think the Kings are peaking now with the last preseason game, Tyreke and Cousins are kicking it into another gear. Plus with no Rose, the Bulls are relying on Nate Robinson to be their go-to scorer... that will not end well.
@Minnesota - W without Love and Rubio
@ Indiana - L. Playoff team, back-to-back for our team. Will be tired.
vs Golden State - W. Gonna be an emotional home opener.
vs Detroit - W. That team has issues.
vs San Antonio - L. They're a better team.
@ L.A. Lakers - L. Lakers looking for revenge at home.
vs Portland - W. Team just isn't that good.
vs Atlanta - W. Team is rebuilding.
vs Brooklyn - W. Scary group, but might not be quite meshing at this time. Cousins should eat Lopez alive and Reke plays well against Deron.
vs L.A. Lakers - W. We have their number this year, plus being at home.
@ Utah - L. Inconsistency rears its ugly head.
vs Utah - W. Team is successful at home.
vs Minnesota - W. Team is at home, still no Rubio/Love
vs Indiana - W. Home cooking leads to wins.
I'm going to say a very optimistic 10-5. I'm an optimist, but I see many winnable games in November.

I agree with Brick. We're either at .500 or above, or the season is in jeopardy. That's why I'm dismayed about the lack of a solidified starting lineup and rotation. We simply can't afford to use the first month of the season to work that out. It has to already be worked out. It won't be an excuse if we're not .500 a month from now. Not after an entire training camp and Smart, even though not coach all year last year, did spend the entire season with IT/Jimmer/Reke/JT/Cuz/Outlaw/Chuck and knows damn well what those players can and cannot do.

@ Chicago - LOSS - Robinson does REAL well against the Kings, so trying to contain him will leave others open.
@Minnesota - WIN - No Love, No Rubio = Win
@ Indiana - LOSS - We do have luck recently in IND but I don't think we get the W here.
vs Golden State - WIN - home opener, enough said. The Kings rarely lose home openers even when we suck.
vs Detroit - WIN - another exciting Monroe vs Cousins duel = fun game, but the Kings will win.
vs San Antonio - WIN - One of those games which we SHOULD lose but we find a way to win it in an exciting fashion.
@ L.A. Lakers - LOSS - Lakers get their revenge.
vs Portland - WIN - Still undefeated at home, and feeding off the crowd.
vs Atlanta - WIN - I just am not buying into ATL being a playoff team this year with the loss of Johnson.
vs Brooklyn - LOSS - our first home loss at the expense of the revamped Nets.
vs L.A. Lakers - LOSS - a close heart breaker.
@ Utah - WIN - We seem to have success in UTAH.
vs Utah - WIN - home and away sweep.
vs Minnesota - WIN - Against a depleted MIN team.
vs Indiana - LOSS - IND does well against us at home for some reason, the same as how we do well against them in IND recently.
So my best case is 9-6.. More than likely 7-8 or 6-9.

Wow.. how optomistic were most of us in hindsight? I too had us taking the step up this year from horrible to slightly below .500 at 7-8..

its going to be hard to grab a win in our next 6. Minny and Indy are our best chances. Extreme outside chance at rediscovering our preseaosn form v LA if boogie gets mad and goes to town on dwight.
Either way this players meeting needs to be a catalyst or things are going to get ugly

Circa 1985 Fan was the only one who guessed correctly, and then we lost the next one.
Only one person here saw us being this bad. This is just awful. Can't believe half us though we might be 8-7. I still do believe this team has the talent to without a doubt have 3-4 more wins at least and be 7-9/8-8. Hell, we'd be 6-10 just on better rotations alone.
