Hello and welcome to another edition of the Nix Film School pregame show.

My name is Andrew Claudio, aka GMAC, and it's time to preview another Knicks matchup

this time against the Sacramento

Kings.

This is game two of their

West Coast road trip.

I guess I shouldn't fully say

West Coast Road trip because it ends

in Denver and there's no

body of water next to it,

but I will say the next two games,

the Knicks will be playing in the state

of California. And they head to Northern California to play this Kings team that I'm a bit

confused by from the research. The 38 and 27 coming into this game, only a half game worse than the

Knicks. And, you know, it's literally one in the win column. So they're the same number of losses this season.

They sit at sixth place in the Western Conference, which the Knicks currently being

the four seed, or I guess, yeah, technically the four seed.

It's interesting to see what's different about the Kings this year compared to last year.

It seems, from my perspective, just a little bit of research, that the only real big thing that's different is the NBA,

like the Western Conference is different this year, that they may potentially be going up

against a better level of competition. Nothing screams that more than the offensive rating,

that last year was the best in NBA history. It was about 118. It's about 117 this year.
