Is it odd for a flight not to have a gate assignment 2 hours before flight it's more like 1 hour 50 minutes?

New York-Kennedy, NY (JFK)
Terminal 2
Gate: n/a
Scheduled: 7:00am

I personally never had a flight not have a gate assignment before I left for the airport, I've had them change on me between the time I left and arrived at the airport but always had atleast a gate assignment.
