Welcome, fellow Kings fans!

Another Kings game, another day when we don't exactly know which players will be on the court. I certainly hope Kevin and his hip pointer and Bibby and his sore posterior are fit and ready for tonight's game because I think we're really going to have our hands full.

It's getting very cold up here in the forest. The storm warning has the initial snow level at 6,000 feet but dropping to 4,500 feet. That could well mean I'll have snow before morning. I'll be glad - I moved up here partially so I could have defined seasons, and that means snow in the winter to me. In addition, it would nice to have some snow for spring run-off and not just a lot of extra water headed your way right now...

Tonight's game is on News10 and NBA-TV. No Comcast. You can follow the game in the PBP, you can talk about in piksi's game discussion thread AND you can always join in at Mr. S£im's CHAT PARTY LIVE. He generally opens up the room a little before game time. On some nights, it's a packed house. Other nights just have a few die-hards. Either way, there's always a lively time to be had.

I went to town yesterday and restocked my supply of everyday Kings t-shirts. Walmart has a nice selection, as does K-Mart. I even got a long-sleeved t-shirt at K-Mart for about $10. Most of the shirts are black, but there are a few purples. Check in the men's section. ;)

I also got a new coffee-maker. The other one just wasn't getting the job done any longer and if there's one thing I truly need to survive it's caffeine. :D

Now, let's think good positive thoughts. Send the positive karma to the Kings. They're gonna need it for tonight's match against the Suns.

GO KINGS!!!!!
 
Kings lineup: Bibby, Martin, Cisco, KT and Miller

Suns lineup: Nash, Bell, Diaw, Marion, Thomas

I'll probably call Kenny KT and Kurt Thomas "Kurt" to keep things from getting too confusing. I'll probably mix it up at least once or twice, however, so bear with me.

;)
