Welcome again, fellow Kings fans!

Well, it's only been a couple of games so I hope no one is contemplating the use of rusty razor blades or high bridges quite yet...

Personally, I think we're gonna see a win tonight. :D

As always, this thread is where I attempt to give our members who cannot see the game and don't care for the opposition's audio broadcast an opportunity to follow the game from a rabid Kings fan's point of view. I cannot guarantee 100% accuracy, but I do promise you'll get a feeling for how THIS fan is feeling about the game as it progresses.

This thread - and everything here at Kingsfans.com - is possible because of the dedication and generosity of our board owner, Jeremy. You don't have to register to read the posts; you don't have to wade through a lot of advertising to get to the good stuff; you really don't have to do anything but come on in and enjoy the camraderie of some of the most articulate, well-versed Kings fans around! If you would like to help defray the costs of keeping Kingsfans.com up and around for your enjoyment, you might consider becoming a Contributing Member. You can find more information HERE As I've said, it's not necessary at all, but you do get a larger avatar, more PM space and a couple of other goodies if you do contribute.

We have a game-time discussion thread for you to use if you want to discuss the game as it's happening with other Kingsfans.com members. Started before every game - now that it's the regular season - by piksi, it's a pretty active thread during the game.

In addition, our own Mr. S£im hosts a chat room at mIRC. The server is irc.bludgeon.org and the channel is #Kingsfans. Be sure and check it out. We get some pretty active stuff going on there, too.

Now, I have coffee to brew - tonight's choice being Gevalia Hazelnut - and an early dinner to prepare. I'm thinking of having my "famous" Garlic Chowder with Clams.

:D

Let's get ready for a good game!

GO KINGS!!!!!

Ah, nothing like the aroma of garlic chowder wafting from the kitchen along with the warmth of the wood stove to make a house comfy for Kings basketball viewing.

I'm looking for a good start to tonight's game. I'm really hoping to see the focus and determination that just hasn't been out there consistently so far.

House Party Live coming up in a couple of minutes.

I like Jim Kozimor.

I like Kara Lawson.

I like Gary Gelfand.

What I still just can't warm to is House Party Live. It just doesn't do anything for me. I actually liked it better when LaSalle "Tank" Thompson is there; he at least brings some Kings history to the table...

They could use the time to profile a different player; they could use the time to talk about the history of the Kings; they could use the time to show some of the highlights from previous games. Instead, they invariably seem to focus on the other team. Well, I'm sorry but I'm not that interested in watching a pre-Kings game program that is primarily about the other team...

MUCH better performance by team in general, and Bibby in particular. Peja also looks much more involved.

This looks more like Kings basketball.
