Kings-Cavs PBP thread

[fakie]

again, thanks for the pbp, althought tonight it's FINALLY on national TV.

GO KINGS!

 

[VF21]

There are 22.4 seconds left in the Magic game. The Rockets lead by 9 so hopefully we won't be seeing overtime.

Remember, once the game starts I'll be asking that you post your ongoing comments in the game discussion thread.

Thank you!

 

[VF21]

Okay, that's it. Rockets 108-99...

Now let's get ready for Arco!!!

 

[VF21]

Oh, wait. I almost forgot!

Best quote of the night from the TNT broadcast team (talking about Hedo): Of course, Hedo has always been versatile. Two years ago he started at the 4 for the Kings.

For 5 bonus points, name the genius who made that comment!!!

Wow Peja actually has 3 boards?

[Whit Eboy]

[zip95843]

Yep.

Yeah, it's hard. We know. Meanwhile, if you would say "110-99 Lakers" once in awhile here - we understand...

 

[6th]

Yep.

I demand proof-reading.

 

[VF21]

WTF? Would you like to do this? I'm watching the bleeping game as I type. I can't be held responsible for what nba.com says. If you'd like, I'll just quit and you can depend on nba.com.

What's wrong with me? I do my very best to provide this PBP for people who don't have other ways to follow the game. Most of them are grateful and it makes it worthwhile. I don't have to do this. I'm not paid to do this.
That's what's the matter with me. I don't appreciate being questioned as though I'm not doing a good enough job.

I know I shouldn't be posting this here as its the PBP thread, but what VF21 does every game is something I dont see anywhere. I live in Canada and this is how I get to experience the majority of Kings games. I am one too appreciate this and more importantly, if you have an issue with this, then you try doing what she's doing. (back to the game - Go Kings Go)
