It's here! It's finally here!

...

Or at least it will be some 17 hours, 40+ minutes from now.

If you're new here and you're trying to find a way to follow the game if you can't see it on TV and don't like the idea of listening to the audio feed from the OTHER team's point of view, this just might be the thread for you.

It's the official Kingsfans.com Play-By-Play thread where I post an ongoing narrative about the game from the viewpoint of one of the most rabid Kings fans on the planet - me! It's not perfect and I may make the occasional error, but I'll try to give you as unbiased a view as possible of the game as it unfolds. I ask that people not post comments in the thread during the game as it can get pretty confusing if several different people are posting at the same time. In addition, I'm on a dial-up connection and it really slows things down if there's a lot of activity in the thread while I'm trying to keep it as current as possible.

This thread, and everything here at Kingsfans.com, is possible because of the generosity and dedication of our board owner, Jeremy. You don't have to pay anything to participate here; you don't even have to register if you just want to read. We're a bunch of very loyal Kings fans around here, and we're always glad to welcome new folks into the fold.

If you would like to help defray the costs of keeping Kingsfans.com up and running, you can consider becoming a Contributing Member. For the details, check out Contributing Member

If you want to interact with other members during the game, you have a couple of alternatives:

1. You can post your comments in the game thread. piksi, our resident and eternal piksimist (if you don't understand the term, don't worry - you will soon), starts the discussion thread and it's a pretty exciting place to be during the game.

2. You can participate in Mr. S£im Citrus' world-famous CHAT. It's located at mIRC. The server is irc.bludgeon.org and the channel is #Kingsfans.

3. You can do both!!!

It's time for people to come on in, grab a seat, fasten your safety belts and hold on tight. It's time for Sacramento Kings basketball and, once again, we're in for a great ride!!!

GO KINGS!!!!!

First, TDOS came to an end. Now, in a few short hours, PreSeason draws to a close. KingsFans.com is the place to be, if you are not at ARCO Arena watching our Kings.

VF21 gives you the best play-by-play you could ask for. Many, many members (and lurkers) around the world enjoy keeping track of what is happening on the court by simply reading this thread.

Whether you want to read the pbp; comment in piksi's "game thread;" or participate in Mr. Slim's chat room, you will enjoy your experience with other Kings fans, and a few fans of other team's as well.

GO 2005-2006 KINGS!!
 
I'm so excited...and I just can't hide it!

In less than 4 hours, it will be KINGS basketball 2005-2006!!!

It's finally here. It's not a dream; I'm sure because I have the bruises from pinching myself to prove it.

It's a new season, fellow Kings fans. A time for rejoicing, a time hopefully for renewing acquaintance with fellow Kingsfans.com members who haven't been around during TDOS, a time to look forward with all the optimism Kings fans seem to possess.

IT'S KINGS BASKETBALL TIME!!!!!

I love this team!!

I am so ready for the opening of the season. I'll be planted in front of my TV with an adult beverage rooting the Kings on to victory. :)
 
OMG! I almost forgot! Thanks for the reminder, KingsFan54.

I have to go in and make my first official pot of Gevalia French Vanilla coffee. And I have to get my purple slippers...

Glad I could help...I'm ready to go home....but I can't. I'm assuming that the game is on Comcast tonight? Can anyone confirm that. I checked the paper but don't want to rely on just that.
