Kings-Jazz PBP thread

[VF21]

Hello fellow Kings fans!!!

Never fear...I'm here to give you my final PBP for 2004. Hopefully, Mother Nature will cooperate and not dump too much snow while the game is on. I absolutely HATE having to wade out in the cold to clean the dish...

Anyway, the team has had an opportunity to take a long hard look at themselves and see just what they want to be. I hope it works - and that's all I'm going to say about it for now.

I have my purple slippers, my Christie jersey, lucky socks and Kings blankey. I have coffee brewed because it's simply too blasted cold for anything chilled.

As usual, all I ask is that people keep their comments positive or at least upbeat in this thread. Thank you!!

GO KINGS!!!

IMHO the Jazz are getting away with a lot of contact against Pedja and Webber with no calls... Not a good omen by any means.

Think about it. When is the last time you saw PEDJA get a technical?

Glad to see the Kings worked on defense during the break!

Is it just me or the officals blind when they see the Kings?
