Got home a few minutes ago. Just wanted to share a few random impressions:
1. the half-time show was bizarre. I have no idea who that guy was and I was not alone. He may have appealed to some of the fans but there were large segments of the arena that had puzzled looks or blank stares on their faces.
2. Bring back the dancers. Keep the 916 crew if you must but the dancers were definitely missed. I heard multiple people asking why they (the dancers) didn't perform.
3. Seeing Chris Webber, Vlade Divac, Peja Stojakovic and Doug Christie in the house made it painfully clear our current roster has a LONG way to go to reach their level of excellence.
4. Adult beverages are now $15 a pop!!
5. I continue to be impressed by the ushers at G1C. They do an incredible job.
6. Fireworks and shooting flames are awesome. The streaming ads that run around the arena between the levels, however, are not. It's way too distracting IMHO.
7. If you buy the really big bucket of popcorn, you can get a free refill!
8. I didn't understand why they announced Dedmon in the star position.
9. Jerry Reynolds is really starting to show his age.
10. Scott Moak has to be among the best of the best as far as announcers go.
11. G1C still gives me chills. An incredible arena...and it's ours.
12. Cowbells are still cool.
13. "REFS YOU SUCK" can spread faster than any other chant.
14. Bagley spent at least 15 minutes out on the court making layups. My only concern is that his previous tendency to only go to his left might be reinforced by the injury to his right thumb.
15. After all is said and done, it's still a good day to be a Kings fan.
