Welcome, fellow Kings fans!

Tonight's game is on TNT, which is a mixed blessing. If the Kings are doing poorly, TNT is liable to switch to their "back-up" game. That presents a real problem - because CSN can't carry the game since TNT has the rights to it. Hopefully, it will be a good enough game that we'll actually be able to see it. (That was a dig at TNT...and not our Kings. ;) )

I can imagine the locker room isn't a lot of fun right now. We may be pretty critical of our team right now, but I imagine there are some things players are either saying OR thinking that would make us all look like eternal optimists. I know these young men aren't happy with their performances. They might say the right things for the media, but they have to be trying to find a way out of the morass...and I'm sure there's more than enough blame (spoken and unspoken) floating around to make it very uncomfortable.... walking on egg shells and all that.

As always, this is the PBP thread where I try and give our members who cannot see a game a little more than they'll find on nba.com or other script sites.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. I washed my purple slippers, I washed the Bibby jersey, I washed the Kings blankey, I washed my long-sleeve Kings t-shirt, and I even washed the Kings banner I have hanging in my front window. Surely all the "loss" has been washed off of them now!

Game time is 7:30 PM, a little less than 5 hours from now. Hopefully, the early game won't go late...

Tonight is doable! If you're going to attend the game, cheer loudly - not only for yourself but for all of us at home!

GO KINGS!!!!!
 
I like to just mute the pregame-halftime-postgame stuff. Denial makes things much easier sometimes. Besides, I don't need to know what our weaknesses are. I come here to find out all about that!!:D

By the way, I am going to an optimist tonight. WE WILL WIN!!

I washed my underwear. First time since Game 7
 
Uh oh.

I just realized something.

Dear fellow Kings fans:

I will not be watching the very first part of the game. Survivor gets the nod...until 8 p.m., when I will - of course - be at my post.

I know, it's horrible. But I am totally addicted to Survivor.

Maybe the first game will go long?

;)

There are so nother NBA games on tonight besides for the Pacers vs. Wizards game that just ended. So even if the Kings are killing or getting killed by the Rockets, the game will show until the end.
