Welcome, fellow Kings fans!

Well, it's gonna be interesting to say the least. I'm going to do my best to get through this without making too many mistakes. I'm just typing this stuff. Imagine how hard Bibby is going to have to focus to NOT pass the ball to an open Webber.

I am in the process of totally redoing everything Kings in my house. Our team is now going in a different direction, and I feel I have to change with the times. I'm somewhat limited by my floorplan, etc. but I'm going to have a new way of displaying all my Kings gear, totems, etc. It's a work in progress now, much like our beloved team.

We have gained a lot of new members in the last few days and I want to take this opportunity to welcome all of them. Kingsfans.com is the place to come if you want to be among the most articulate, most interesting Kings fans on the planet. If you're here as a guest, you're welcome to read the forums. We don't require you to register as a member to read but you will have to register to post in the various forums. If you do register, then you become a part of our family. The other option available to you is to become a Contributing Member of our group. There are some additional benefits associated with that, so if you're interested please check out the stickied thread at the top of this forum OR send a PM to either me, Bricklayer, Jeremy or 6th, our Goodwill Ambassador. One of us can get you pointed in the right direction. :D

If you're here to follow the game, you have a couple of options available to you in that regard, also. (Kingsfans = options) You can read the PBP, you can discuss the game as it progresses in the GAME DISCUSSION thread started by piksi, OR you can visit chat at mIRC, server: irc.bludgeon.org, channel: #KingsFans. Or you can do a combination of all of them. In addition, there is radio broadcast feed available from www.thegamelive.com It generally DOESN'T carry the Kings announcers but if you can handle listing to the other team broadcast you may find it better than nothing.

So, here we go...facing the team with the guy who dropped 30 points FOR us in his last outing as a Sacramento King and the young man who had his first career double-double that same night. They are going to be missed.

I have things to do around here, but I will be back in time to bring you the PBP. If I stumble a bit, or lose a minute or two, please have a bit of patience with me, okay?

GO KINGS!!!!!

Well, here we go... it's hard to believe that in a few short hours we'll see Webb in his new uniform. At least I'm glad he was able to keep #4. Don't worry VF, we will all be so emotional during this game that no one will notice if you stumble or hesitate for a moment, and if you "accidentally" get excited when Webb makes a shot, I think we'll all be in the same boat.

^^ lol, true. we'd be excited to hear that webb made a shot. but then we'd just find the points added to the opponents score. :(

i think it's gonna be hard for the guys to focus. i really think there will be a time where mike just passes it to webb by mistake. so wow. this is gonna be a very emotional game. i know i'm gonna cry.

i hope philly gives webb a standing ovation. he deserves it. i hope he's happy. i'd be happy if i see him smiling out there and philly fans and players love him.

I wouldn't expect Philly fans to give Webber a standing ovation quite yet. Let them get to know him first, the way we did.
 
#5
^^well true, not really a standing O, a great, loud cheer.

i just want him to feel very welcomed and accepted with open arms when his name is announced tonight :)

I have an inkling they will. Have seen/read a lot of the emotions of Philly fans. Excited would be an understatement.

I just saw his press conference and was very gratified to hear he's being treated very well by the Sixers fans. He deserves it...

I, too, think a standing ovation would be super but I just didn't want people to be upset it he didn't get it. After all, Philly has booed Santa...

;)

You know what VF, I didn't think about it since you said it, but wouldn't that be funny if Bibby passed it to Webb!! I mean so soon after the trade I could see it happening as well.

I'd have to look up the specifics. I don't remember the when or why I just remember they did it, much as they booed Kobe (before all his trouble in Colorado) at the All-Star game. Those people seem to boo more than ghosts on Halloween and for much less justification.

;)

Okay, just a reminder. Once the game starts, PLEASE use the game discussion thread for comments, etc.

Thanks all...

...........................................................

I have butterflies in my stomach. A part of me wants to watch, a part of me wants it to be over so it will be past and, like Webb said in his press conference earlier, he can focus solely on being a 76er and our team can start to look forward to the rest of the season and life without Webber in the mix.

GO KINGS!!!!!

i checked the philly radio on that site. doesn't seem to work for me. does it work for anyone else? cause i know te kings don't have their station out there, so philly is the only option.

We aren't responsible for the links on that site. Sorry.

Well, god. Here come the tears - as News10 does a quick tribute at the beginning and goes quickly to showing the Kings coming into the arena. And then showing the 76ers locker room as Matt, Bradley and Webb don their 76ers gear.

Guys, this one is gonna be tough...

GO KINGS!!!!!!

Jerry and Grant talking about Thomas, "The Big Nasty" and Skinner.

And now, more about Webber. They're showing clips of his earlier interview.

Grant: Webber and AI. Amazing combination.

Jerry: Yes, if they fit. AI isn't the easiest guy to fit in with.

...

pause...

Keys to the game:

•Tune out trade hype

•Be like Mike

•Iverson bail outs

Kings: Bibby, Cat, Corliss, Darius and Brad

Sixers: AI, Igu, Korver, Webber, Dalembert

Oh, God. They're doing the home intros... lights darken.

They show historic Sixer clips... And now meet your Philadelphia 76ers.

Starters: Korver, Webber......... He gets a terrific round of applause. etc.

The 76ers do the circle dance, side to side, like we used to.

AI is shown saying "I've been looking like something like this for 9 years. With Webber, I think my career is finally turning a corner."

Tip off in a minute or two...
