So I don't know if this has already been posted, but I didn't see it anywhere. Anyway, I heard on the news this afternoon that there was a small fire in a kitchen vent at the hotel the kings were staying at here in portland. They were apparently evacuated at 1 am. Lack of sleep can't be too good for the game tonight.

Here is the link from the news program I saw it on:

"Fire crews arrived on scene just before 1 a.m. It took 62 firefighters more than an hour to extinguish the flames. It took longer for crews to remove water from the restaurant and hotel.The Sacramento Kings basketball team was reportedly staying at the hotel. The players were evacuated along with the other guests. They take on the Portland Trail Blazers Friday night at the Rose Garden Arena.

Everyone was allowed back inside their rooms around 2 a.m. No injuries were reported."

They stayed outside for an about an hour or so. I highly doubt this will effect the Kings performence unless they just weren't able to fall alseep aftewards.

So much for a good nights sleep. All I can say is this: Rick PLEASE play Tag against Jozillia at least long enough to get a few good thumps in!

OMG! And did anyone order the cheeseburger? I knew the Blazers had a lot of cons on the team, but this is too much! OTOH, would they really have this much initiative at this point in the season?

Napear was on the radio today and he said he was asleep but Mo Evans said he had just ordered room service. I don't think many players get to sleep before 2-3 AM anyways.

well I don't know about the rest of you guys, but (speaking from personal experience) standing outside in the cold for an hour wakes me up for a good 3 or 4 hours...although I'm kind of an insomniac anyway.

Kings notes: Kings get unwelcome morning wake-up call

PORTLAND, Ore. - If the Portland Trail Blazers were fighting with the Kings for a playoff berth, the Friday morning wake-up call the visitors received might seem extremely suspicious.

But this one was no joke.

A fire in the kitchen of an adjoining restaurant resulted in the evacuation of the downtown hotel the Kings were staying in.


"There was no way to miss it with the alarms going off like they were," Kings guard Mike Bibby said. "They got everybody up and out of their rooms."

Erik Daniels said he was surprised to see ambulances, police cars and fire trucks outside the hotel around 1:30 a.m. "You just don't expect that at that time of the morning," said Daniels, who now had one more experience to add to his list of rookie-year tales.
