Is this for anybody or only locals?
I'm presuming since it's on Twitter ... and about a live stream from the Kings.com website - it's not restricted.

EDIT: Oops. My bad. From Kings.com:

(Please note: Stream only available to fans who live within 75 miles of Sleep Train Arena.)

It's such a joy to watch Rajon Rondo. Never did I ever imagine while watching those recent battles in the finals between Boston and Los Angeles that Rondo would one day suit up in a Kings uniform. He brings something to the table that this city hasn't seen since Mike Bibby. Rajon's true worth and value to a team goes so far beyond his box score. He is a true floor general in every sense of the word who even just through pre-season has shown the miraculous ability to electrify, orchestrate, and get everyone involved. While there were so many naysayers who didn't want him coming to Sacramento, I'm truly proud to have supported the acquisition and Kings fans are blessed to have Rajon Rondo on this team.

Regardless of how much he's scored, Cousins seems to be in pre-season mode, I can't wait to see him elevate his play once the regular season begins. It's scary. Through three games, we've seen Boogie get flustered by opponents way too easily and I hope that pattern doesn't continue. I like the fact that he's trying to add a three-point shot to his game because he can make that shot, though I cringe at the sight of seeing such a talented big man out on the perimeter.

Big kudos to WCS, Koufos, Anderson, and Belinelli. Boy have these guys been a sight for sore eyes. Willie has been everything he was advertised to be, I absolutely love his defensive effort, he can really guard anyone while he's on the floor. The other three have shown a tremendous understanding of the game of basketball as we all expected. They know their roles on this team and that's how you start to build a winning culture. Belinelli has proven why he's considered one of the premier shooters in this league, and though I do believe he is a much better player than McLemore at this point, he's most effective providing the scoring against the opposing second unit. I'm happy with him coming off of the bench or starting, we'll leave that up to Coach,

I'm boring, I'm going to the game tonight. Distance = about 6+/- miles by car. I wish it was as simple for all (simple if you have $150 to spare for two tickets). The secret is to pay for your season tickets before the season starts and then all the tickets are free. Please, don't bust my balloon.

Have fun. Just remember the result doesn't matter, just enjoy the experimentation.

Weird as it sounds, I'd prefer a losing record in pre-season.

Okay, dumb question here...how do I check ahead of time to see if I'm within the magic circle in their eyes?

First, set aside a few days then grab a tape measure then check your direction to Arco. Lastly, start measuring. (The better choice is to start from the high end.). My rule f thumb and forefinger - if you live in Grass Valley you're close to the line. Good luck.

I'm actually serious here. I was looking at the link and trying to figure out if there was an easy way on the website to see if they're going to let me see the game. I've had problems in the past when I was dealing with League Pass.

Click on "Directions," and then put your physical address in one field, and "Sleep Train Arena, Sacramento, CA" in the other.

If you have a smartphone, you can probably just put in "Sleep Train Arena," and the phone will figure out where you are.

I did it with Google maps (personal preference) and that's why I was wondering how the Kings make the measurements. The driving distance is 79.9 miles, but as the crow flies it's only about 68 miles. Hence my dilemma.

Checked on direct tv...doesn't seem like they'll have the game on tv tonight. Was really hoping I could DVR it later.

NBAtv has a replay of the Wolves game, while CSN has the Sharks game on. Sucks.

That's the reason why some of us are so interested in the live stream from the Kings.

If you take the average, it's 74.35 miles.... In all seriousness, I would wager a guess and say it's probably the geographical distance and not the driving distance. I can't say that with 100% certainty, but I would say its probable you will be able to watch.

Having said that, please don't blame me if you can't watch it :p
