A common line of thought heading into the 2018-19 NBA season for this Sacramento Kings team was that no individual game, particularly a road game, should be considered a contest that this roster should win. The reasoning was simple— the Kings weren’t going to be good to the point where you can confidently say they should beat anyone. Could they beat teams? Sure. Would they beat teams? Yes. Should they be expected to beat teams? Probably not.
We’re 22 games into the regular season. The Kings are 11-11. I think it’s time to challenge that thought.
