Kings-Timberwolves PBP for March 19

[VF21]

Welcome, fellow Kings fans!

I do this with the full and certain knowledge that it could well be the kiss of death for my chances of watching the game on TV tomorrow, with electrical power to my home and everything.

I cannot believe I've had to suffer through TWO different power outages the last two games...

Anyway, this is a placeholder-type thread. If I don't post more tomorrow, you'll know the unbelievably happened and Mother Nature smacked me up side the head for the third game in a row...

GO KINGS!!!!

I think I'm in good shape, chelle. The weather is VERY cold, but crystal clear and the snow is melting fairly rapidly - at least in my area. I have my coffee, I have my Kings blankey, I have my Kings watch cap, I have myu Kings long-sleeve t-shirt, and I have my Vlade bear (the one good-luck charm I refuse to put away with all the other former King items).

I think we're in good shape and I feel a WIN coming on.
