Building the Sacramento Kings All-Time Roster, Part III

 
1890-1900s-harvard-basketball-team-photo_medium

This is what happens when you don’t pay attention to your time machine radio dial, and you wind up setting the station for 1890 instead of 1990. For some reason, no matter how many times I told them that my name was "section," they insisted on calling me "Mr. Spencer". And by the time we shot the photo, I had become "Mr. Mr. Spencer." Sometimes time travel isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. Oh, and Stoll is a madman!

 

 

(This is the third installment of how section214 became charged with and set to the responsibility of putting together an all-time roster for the Sacramento Kings. The first installment can be found here, and the second installment can be found here. Future installments will be coming over the next several days and weeks.)

 

I got back into the Passat and adjusted the rear-view mirror. I caught a glimpse of Russell leading the guys into the practice facility. Strange times, indeed. I took one last look, just in time to watch Joe Kleine trip on the curb. Ah, some things are timeless.

Road Worriers: Early Schedule Hasn't Been Kind to Kings

Every season since 2004-05 has, for the Kings, begun with a road trip of at least three games. The road is tough, even for the league's best teams. In the NBA, studies have shown teams beat evenly matched squads 60 percent of the time at home. It follows, then, that road teams beat evenly matched squads only 40 percent of the time. It comes out to roughly a 3-point advantage.

Let's not pretend the Kings have been "good" over the past six seasons, a span which includes two playoff berths, the entire Eric Musselman-Reggie Theus era, and the worst season in franchise history. In 2004-05, the Kings won the West's sixth seed despite the midseason trade of Chris Webber and a brutalizing injury to Brad Miller (the real talisman that season). But the Sonics, thanks to Ray Allen on Garbage Bag James, whipped the Kings 4-1. In 2005-06, a midseason trade for Ron Artest helped save the campaign and land Sacramento into the playoffs as an eighth seed; the Kings, behind Bonzi Wells and Kevin Martin, tested the Spurs before falling 4-2. Since then, the high-water mark has been 38 wins. The team has desperately needed a nicotine winning patch, or 30.

But while the Kings have not been good over the last six years, the early schedule certainly hasn't helped. In those opening road trips -- one of which the Kings have faced in every of the past six years -- the Kings are a combined 2-17.  Here's the breakdown:

Year

Record

2004-05

0-3

2005-06

1-2

2006-07

1-2

2007-08

0-3

2008-09

0-4

2009-10

0-3

The best start the Kings have had in the past six years is 1-2. (You may remember the 2006-07 road win at Minnesota, which included a jubilent Eric Musselman, post-DUI, embracing his bewildered players. Sadly, Muss was psychic, and that was one of the season's high points.)

Now, you may think, "Well, hmph, the Kings suck anyway, so it doesn't matter if they have to start on the road, because they'd lose at home, too! Hurf durf."

Not quite.
