Greetings, fellow Kings fans!

Another night of Kings basketball - and another day of wondering WHICH Kings team will show up. They need this game tonight. The rest of the schedule is pretty favorable for them, with lots of time between games (except for the back-to-back LA/Phoenix games) and starting off with a win tonight just might get the ball rolling in the right direction.

This is the play-by-play thread, where I do my best to provide our members who cannot see or follow the game any other way with a real-time narrative of the game. If you would like to talk about the game with other KF members, you can use the game discussion thread started by piksi and/or check out chat at mIRC, server: irc.bludgeon.org, channel: #KingsFans.

This thread, and everything here at Kingsfans.com, is brought to you because of the dedication and generosity of our board owner Jeremy. You can read our forums as a guest, without having to register. You can join in the discussions simply by registering. It's all free and painless.

It's a beautiful day up here in the forest so I'm going to take some time and go outside to tend to my garden. I have a row of purple iris that generally bloom during the playoffs, so I'm going to make sure they're uncovered and in good shape.

I'll be back before the game to share any tidbits from the House Party.

GO KINGS!!!!!

House Party was, as usual, nothing spectacular. Grant and Jerry had nothing really interesting to say, either. The "highlight" of their pre-game blatherings was about nicknames, which might have been okay if it was KINGS nicknames, but it wasn't - it was about the Sonics. ...yawn...

Line-ups for tonight:

Ridnour, Allen, Wilkens, Evans and James for the Sonics

Bibby, Cat, Peja, Thomas and Skinner for the Kings
