Kings v. Blazers PBP thread

[VF21]

Welcome, fellow Kings fans!

I don't know about the rest of you but I'm still pumped up about last night's game. Talk about guys stepping up to do what needed to be done right when the team needed it most!

Whoooooooo!!!

I have my lucky socks, purple slipper, Kings "trekkie" shirt (I still don't know why they call it a "trekkie" shirt) and my Bibby jersey. The Kings blankey is right here. The icons are in their places of honor and I am now stuck eating Good N Plenty candies during each game since I did it first during the TWolves game, didn't have any for the Sonics game, and had some for the Warriors game AND last night's game. I may have to order a case or something.

Tonight should be a good game. With hopefully at least two of our starters coming back, Brad and Mike might just be able to take a breather. They have more than stepped up - just like the guys on the bench - when they had to.

I have to bring in firewood and get the stove going, so I'll be checking back in before game time.

I haven't posted in the game thread since the Sonics game. I have only posted there during the game twice. Once was the blowout we got from SA and the Sonics game last week. I am sorry i posted twice in the PBP thread last night i just couldn't help myself. I will once again try to refrain but its kinda hard. Oh and btw we are 0-3 when i go to the chat room. So I am screwed as far as talking goes during the game.

Ah, I almost forgot:

For everyone not named Entity there is a game discussion thread started by piksi. It is greatly appreciated if you post your game discussions and/or comments there, so this can remain the play-by-play thread. In addition, we have chat available at mIRC, server: irc.bludgeon.org, channel: #Kingsfans.

One good thing: We know Chris, Pedja and Cat all made the trip to Portland so I'm keeping my fingers crossed they'll be able to play BUT only if they're ready. Our bench has conducted itself admirably but they have to be getting tired. This is the fourth game in 5 nights and, if nothing else, Brad and Mike have every reason to be just a little tired.

I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!

The Royal Court Dancer featured tonight on House Party is Candace. Her giggle is annoying... but I'm sure the guys don't even notice.

I didn't think her jiggle was annoying at all.

Grant and Jerry standing by the court, doing their thing. Tag comes up and messes with Grant's hair again. I think it's become something of a luck thing.

Starting lineup for the Kings: Bibby, Cat, Pedja, Webber and Miller

Grant and Jerry mentioning they might need to shake off some rust, since the guys haven't had much chance if any to practice together.

Think good thoughts, fellow Kings fans. It might take the guys a bit to get rid of all the cobwebs.

Keys to the game:

•Guarding the guards.
