Welcome, fellow Kings fans!

It's a cold and dreary day here in the forest, perfect for turkey sandwich consumption and watching TV.

I hope the players have worked off their holiday feasts. I miss Vlade; it was games like this where you'd watch him lumber up and down the court, a little more slowly than usual, and you couldn't help but wonder just how much holiday feasting he'd done. I've heard he quickly adopted Thanksgiving upon his arrival in the US and it became one of his favorite holidays.

Anyway, back to basics...

This is the play-by-play thread, where I try and give those of our members who cannot see the game an idea of what's going on from a Kings fan point of view. I want to thank the people who have taken the time to send me PMs about how much they enjoy the PBP. :D

If you want to discuss the game with other Kings fans, you can participate in piksi's game discussion thread or you can join CHAT, hosted by Mr. S£im Citrus, at mIRC. The server is irc.bludgeon.org and the channel is #Kingsfans.

If you're joining us for the first time, welcome. We don't require people to register to read our forums. If you want to join the discussions, the registration process is pretty simple. All we ask is you check the tips for posting... There's no charge for any of this. Kingsfans.com is possible through the generosity and dedication of our board owner, Jeremy. We do have contributing members, whose generosity also helps defray the costs of keeping this site up and running. If you would like to join them (and there is NO obligation for you to do so), please read the Contributing Member thread in the Lounge.

My beverage tonight will, once again, be Gevalia Hazelnut Coffee, laced with a little egg nog (non-alcoholic version). I'll be trying to keep from too much turkey. Tryptophan-enduced napping is not a good idea when you're trying to watch a Kings game AND type at the same time.

I have my Bibby jersey at the ready, along with my purple slippers and Kings blankey. Apparently I must have selected the proper placement for the various icons, so they haven't been moved.

All in all, tonight should be another good night for Kings fans.

:D

GO KINGS!!!!!

Almost game time. Much bigger crowd tonight behind Koz and Kara for House Party Live. A good win - regardless of whom it's against - tends to do that.

I agree with Kara in that no one should overlook the Raptors. The Kings and their fans THINK they're a good team; now they have to use games like tonight and the rest of the home stand to prove it.

Peja is out again tonight...

"Kings have outscored opponents in the paint in 4 of the last 5 games."

That is sure nice to read. And I certainly hope it can continue...

GO KINGS!!!!!

Thanks, doone. Sorry you can't see the game. I'll try my best to make it as visual as possible for you and everyone else.

Grant says there's been some misinformation. It's not just Peja's pinky, it is actually the "outside of the hand from the pinky to the meat."

Jerry says, "If you want to know how it feels, hit your hand with a hammer and then try and play basketball. End of story."

Hey, you know what Jerry and Grant? If some of your fellow bleeping journalists didn't make mountains out of molehills and molehills out of mountains, perhaps we fans wouldn't be quite so jaded. And for the record? It was a journalist who first made all the noise about an injured pinky...

Give us a break.
