Kings-Spurs PBP thread - game 6

[VF21]

Welcome, fellow Kings fans.

I just got home, I'm trying to do about 100 different things before the game, but I thought I'd check in and let people know there will be a PBP thread.



Remember, we have piksi's thread for discussion and Mr. Slim's CHAT PARTY LIVE at mIRC, server irc.bludgeon.org, channel #kingsfans.

I have a good feeling about this game.

GO KINGS!!!!!

 

[VF21]

So it all boils down to this...

It's now or never. Win or stay home.

If we win, it's on to San Antonio for game 7 on Sunday. If we lose, the Spurs go home and get ready to face the Mavericks on Sunday.

I have faith. I believe.

As Adelman says, "THIS is the must win. Everyone says that all year, but this is the MUST Win."

I love this team.

GO KINGS!!!
