Wecome, fellow Kings fans, to As the Basketball Spins... I don't know about anyone else but the one thing I miss the most about the GLORY DAYS was the lack of drama. It gets so tiring to always be wondering if KT is gonna be unhappy about his PT, if Bibby is worried about the trade talks, if Artest has exploded or is packing for a move to somewhere/anywhere, etc. I want to go back to having fun, to rooting for a team that's having fun. I guess I'll just have to wait it out like everyone else...
It appears the NEW purple slippers were properly indoctrinated into being Kings lucky charms. The first time I wore them the Kings won so that's a good thing.
Here's what the Bee has to say about tonight's game:
Tonight's game is being carried on News10, so that means no House Party Live. That might be just as well. The Bee also had a little tidbit about Jim Kozimor and Grant Napear not getting along. Hey, that's one battle I'd actually pay to see on PPV.
As I always do, I'll remind people that this board and everything that happens here is a result of the dedication and generosity of our board owner. Without him, this place quite simply wouldn't exist for us to come to to share our joys, sorrows, celebrations, frustrations, etc. There are other Kings boards but none of them seems to have the sense of community we have here. It's a wonderful thing but it does cost to keep Kingsfans.com up and running.
If you would like to help defray the costs of keeping KF the #1 Sacramento Kings Online Community, please take a moment to consider becoming a Contributing Member. You're under no obligation, of course, but if you do decide to contribute, you get a larger avatar, the ability to create your own custom title, more storage space for PMs, AND first refusal of Kingsfans.com events as small tokens of our thanks for helping keep KF going.
Okay, commercial is over...
If you haven't checked out the CHAT at mIRC, server irc.bludgeon.org, channel #kingsfans, why not do so tonight? We have a solid core of people who are usually there during the game but new folk are always welcome.
And if you're not a regular follower of piksi's game discussion thread, I can only assume you've been living under a rock and haven't heard the buzz. Piksi's pre-game intros are legend. His isn't the typical "rah rah Homer" view, but he puts it out there and you can either love him or hate him.
After the game, be sure and stick around for the release of the Bricklayer grades for the game. You may not agree with Brick's grades but they're always the basis for some pretty good discussion.
With Artest reportedly out from a knee bruise suffered in the Sixers game when he collided with a player who didn't even play ( ), it'll be interesting to see if Corey Maggette plays. If he DOESN'T, I expect the rumors of the pending Kings-LAC trade to become the most popular topic of the evening. ESPN might even lead with it...
Even if I was fully in favor of the trade, I would love to see it not even be under consideration just because of the lunacy of some of the national reporters. I said it at the beginning and I'll say it again... I am so tired of the soap opera that has become nearly the nightly fare of Maloof Sports and Entertainment. I just want our team back.
GO KINGS!!!
