Greetings, fellow Kings fans!

I have power and I have phone service. And so, we'll have the PBP.

GO KINGS!!!
 
Brad obviously couldn't find the super glue as he's not playing tonight. Let's see what the new kid on the block can do...
 
I wouldn't be surprised if he does. It hasn't been announced on Comcast yet, however...
 
Grant confirms no Brad tonight... And I just saw Kenny Thomas in warmups. I just hope the lineup isn't Bibby, Martin, Artest, Thomas and Moore. If it is, I swear I'll go outside - in the ice and snow - and kick the crap out of the tree I've named "Ron."
 
Hrm. Grant just said Salmons is starting, so my guess is the following:

Bibby, Martin, Salmons, Artest and Moore

And that I can live with.

GO KINGS!!!
 
Sonics: Watson, Durant, Green, Wilcox, Thomas
Kings: Bibby, Martin, Salmons, Artest and Moore

Sonics inbound.

End of the first half.

Kings cling to a one-point lead:

49-48 KINGS
 
First half observation: We are a MUCH better team with Brad Miller on the court. I would personally rather see Spencer get more minutes tonight than continue to see Moore playing out of position at the 5 and Artest at the 4. Salmons hasn't been effective. Bring Hawes in and shift Moore and Artest back and see what happens.

Sonics ball to start the second half.
