Early Schedule Leaks

by Tom Ziller on Jul 30, 2009 5:16 AM PDT in News

The 2009-10 NBA schedule will be released in full next week, but leaks are starting to make their way out. ClutchFans, for example, got the whole Rockets schedule. We draw the Rockets a full four times. Here they are, according to the ClutchFans leak:

November 13 in Sacramento
November 21 in Houston
March 3 in Houston
April 12 in Sacramento

I'm calling it -- that Nov. 21 game is a must-win for the Kings. (Actually, the status of the Kings brings up a good question: are you even excited to see the '09-10 schedule? While in contention, the road trips and back-to-backs seemed to be a wee bit more important.

The best part about playing the Rockets 4 times?

All 4 games are easily winnable

The one in Sacramento for sure

I’m not willing to venture easily winnable for any of the games in Houston.

BOOK IT!

No Yao, no T-Mac, no Ron-Ron

It’ll have to be Brooks, Battier, and Scola beating us

Wasn't that the team that took the defending champions to 7 games?

Although Evans v. Brooks is going to be mighty interesting.

"Easily winnable"

is not in the Sacramento Kings’ lexicon at this point in time.

Absolutely I'm excited about the schedule.

The past few years, the Kings have had a December game in Utah, which I can usually get SB to get me tickets to for my birthday.

Keep the tradition alive!

The draft lottery has reinforced my belief that there are not enough bad words in the English language.

Exactly

Those of us who are scattered around the country can still be excited for an opportunity to see the Kings in person.

of the 5 games I went to last year I really looked forward to the Rockets game in April

wanted to see Yao (truly an awesome spectacle to witness in person) and the ARCO return of Ron-Ron.

Hope Yao makes it back sometime next season, and I am Rick Adelman fan but I wouldn’t mind handing an L or three.

It seems that the last few seasons

the Kings have been on the road for the 1st 3-4 games. It’s usually the other teams home opener as well. Can we get a break this year?

When do the Kings

visit Washington?

Damn right November 21st is a must-win

It’s my brother’s birthday. By the way, who else thinks we start the season on a 4 game road trip again. That Nov. 13 Houston game is probably our home opener.

No doubt

Bad teams seem to always start on the road (except the big, big opening night games). When we were good we usually started at home (or China), even hosting LeBron’s debut in 03-04.
