Welcome, fellow Kings fans!

The weather outside is HORRIBLE which, interestingly enough, generally means a good night for the Kings. Some of the worst storms I've had occurred while I was sitting here hoping the power wouldn't go out before the game was over!

As always, we here at Kingsfans offer you a variety of options to enjoy the game with other Kings fans. Besides being able to follow the game via this thread, you can discuss the game and post comments in piksi's game thread. And, if that's not enough, you can join in the chat at mIRC, server: irc.bludgeon.org, channel: #KingsFans.

All we ask is that you come here to talk hoops in an atmosphere of friendly camaraderie.

I have put the toilet paper roll voodoo doll away. Apparently its power is simply too strong for the regular season. The side-effects are simpy unacceptable. ;)

I have plenty of firewood and the woodstove is nice and toasty warm. I have my NEW lucky purple slippersand I'm wrapped up in my Kings blankey. My Bibby jersey is ready for the game, as are my lucky socks. I moved a couple of the icons around - they're obviously not quite in the right position.

Win or lose, I just hope the guys are able to play a GOOD game!

GO KINGS!!!!!

It DID work though. JRich didn't even play that game.
Yes, but neither did Cat, Williamson ... and Skinner also experienced an injury.

These toilet paper roll voodoo dolls™ are powerful, I tell you...

:D

It's snowing outside. That's good news for the Kings, as they win about 75% of the time when it's actually snowing while the game is on.

On the other hand, it makes it a little dicier for me because if it snows hard I have to wade out at least once during the game and clean the satellite dish...

The sacrifices I go though for this team!

;)

i hope you dish is on the ground and not on the roof
Not a problem. We don't put the dishes on the roof around here. Too much danger of snow covering them completely.

Ever consider a tank of compressed air?

The actual cleaning of the dish is the minor part. The wading out into the cold, wet snow approximately 25 feet is much tougher.

But I'll survive...

Injury update (kinda): Word from Koz and Tank is that Cat is going to try to play. Word from Grant (according to someone in another thread) is that Corliss is probably going to play, and Skinner won't.

Blazers line-up: Damon, Telfair, Shareef, Miles and Prz.

Kings line-up: Bibby, Cat, Peja, Thomas and Tag

Certainly hope Tag has his game tonight! Grant says Tag has been working hard this week and that tonight might be his last best chance to get back into the good graces. Note: Kenny Thomas is starting at the PF slot. Good luck to him, too!!!

Jerry Reynolds says Peja HAS to come through tonight. Says it's going to be more difficult without Brad Miller, but that Peja has to get back to being the Peja of old...

Reminder: A win tonight gives Adelman 700!

Keys to the game:

•Rebound and run

•Productive Peja

•Point Guard 101 (meaning Bibby will have to take Telfair to school...)
