Kings-Bucks PBP for Dec. 19

[VF21]

Greetings, fellow Kings fans!!

Another day, another city... But with two wins under their belt, the Kings have to be at least a little happy with this road trip.

Tonight's game in Milwaukee could be tough as the Bucks play well on their home court. But at least the Kings get to come home after this and stay home through the end of the year.

It's cold up here and drizzly and threatening to snow. Which is fine - as long as it doesn't come down so heavily that my satellite signal is impeded.

Now, let's get ready for some Kings basketball!!!

GO KINGS!!!
