[VF21]

End of first half.

48-47 LAC

 

[VF21]

FWIW, I think Cat is going to be fine. Eddie is officially in RA's doghouse and I don't know if we'll see him for a while. Mo looks fine; Webber looks crisp and is pretty much keeping up with Brand as far as scoring. Mike looks just a little rusty. Tag didn't do much. Brad looks like he's not fully into the game. Pedja has been hot and cold. Darius was okay, but not spectacular.

Now, Gary Gerould is doing the commentating for the half-time extravaganza.

I am watching this game on KTLA out of L.A. Why i get that and not Comcast, I will never know. Anyway i think they recorded the game earlier and are now playing it back in Slow Motion. We are playing this game lazy. I also hate the KTLA announcers. They brought up our bench not being strong. I was like geez the best person off your bench is a player we had that was out 12th man 4 or 5 years ago.

 

[mazzystar]

VF.. Whats wrong with house??

 

[VF21]

wow.

Good memories...and goosebumps as they introduce some of the 1985-85 Kings.

[Andriod_KiNg]

VF.. Whats wrong with house??

he made some stupid mistakes but Adelman took him out the game after his attempt at a 3 during a transition , still had full shotclock...

 

[VF21]

House is not on the top of RA's favorite list at the moment. He made a careless turnover and then a very quick pull-up shot that was very ill-advised. Right after that, RA pulled him and put Bibby back in.

Very touching half-time ceremony, presenting a lot of the old guys. Olberding, Kleine, Tank Thompson. And the original owners, including Joe Benevenuti. The last introduced is JErry Reynolds, who gets a huge ovation from the crowd. Gavin comes out and thanks all the fans for making the Sacramento Kings such a special franchise.
