Kings-Bobcats PBP for Feb. 28

[VF21]

I have power now... no idea if I'll have it for the whole game but I'm going to do this as long as I do.



No time for the usual preliminary chat, so I'll just get right to the nitty-gritty.

We're without Artest tonight. The Cats are going to be without the services of Okafur.

Game should be starting any second...

Bibby, Martin, Salmons, KT and Miller for the Kings

Side comment: Adam Morrison needs a haircut...or a barette.

Felton, Anderson, Carroll, Wallace and Brezec for the Cats.
