Kings-Clippers PBP thread for Jan. 6

[VF21]

Hello fellow Kings fans!

Got home just in time to start the fire in the stove, make my coffee and get ready for tonight's game.

This is the play-by-play thread, of course. We also have piksi's game discussion thread where you can discuss the game with your fellow Kingsfans.com members as the game progresses. AND we have Mr. S£im's CHAT PARTY LIVE at mIRC, server irc.bludgeon.org, channel #Kingsfans. It's usually a pretty lively place. For the ultimate experience, you can follow the PBP thread, cheer in the game discussion thread, AND chat in CPL. Nothing like a full Kings game experience!



Everything that happens here at KF is because of the dedication and generosity of our board owner, Jeremy. If you would like to help defray the costs of keeping Kingsfans.com up and running as the #1 Sacramento Kings Online Community, consider becoming a Contributing Member. There's no obligation, of course, but you do get a nifty title, bigger avatar AND a couple of other benefits. What a deal!

I'm hoping for another good game tonight against the Clippers. We need Peja and his shooting. Hopefully, he'll get it started and they'll raise the roof at Arco once again.

GO KINGS!!!!!
