Welcome fellow Kings fans!

First and foremost, thanks to Bballkingsrock for stepping in for me Friday! You did a great job, Bball!! Thank you!!!

Now, about the game. As you've probably read in the Injury Report thread, we will most likely be without Brad, Bonzi and perhaps Ron this afternoon... I don't know about anyone else, but at this point I just hope the remaining players don't get struck by meteorites or things falling from airplanes on their way into Arco.

Today has to be an interesting day for most sports fans. I have to stay in Kings mode and then, right after the game, switch into "GO SEAHAWKS!" In case you're wondering, I am still a 49er fan but my son-in-law is ecstatic as a Seahawks fan and he made me promise I'd root for his team. Since he's the father of my two little princesses I figure it's the least I can do...

I - and probably every other Kings fan on the planet - am certainly hoping for a different fourth quarter than what we saw Friday. We do have one thing in our favor - Greg Ostertag is a lot like Vlade when it comes to early games.

It's beautiful up here in the forest. Crisp blue sky ... and COLD! I think pretty much every snowmobile owner who isn't a football fan went by my house early this morning for a day of riding the slopes on the fresh snow.

As always, I'm going to mention our Contributing Member status. It's a way you, the fan, can help defray some of the costs of keeping this, Kingsfans.com, up and running as the #1 Sacramento Kings Online Community. It's strictly voluntary, of course, but you do get goodies like custom titles under your user name (which is now showed in bolded purple if you're a CM), a larger avatar and the satisfaction of helping our dedicated and generous board owner, Jeremy.

This is the play-by-play thread. We have pikis's game discussion thread and we have Mr. S£im's CHAT PARTY LIVE at mIRC (server irc.bludgeon.org and channel # Kingsfans). Take your pick or participate in everything.

Now, I have to finish a few things like splitting some kindling so I'll just say GO KINGS!
 
Mr. S£im generally opens the room around 30 minutes before game time.
 
Finally! Some good news for a change...

Ron Artest will play.

God help me, I'm liking the Warrior King more every day!

And Greg Ostertag just came up to Jerry and Grant, gave them both a big hug and planted one on Grant's face...

If you don't like that, you don't like NBA basketball!!!

:D
