Kings v. Grizzlies PBP thread...

[VF21]

This one won't be as much fun without Hubie there... And Jason isn't playing.

Anyway, tonight's play-by-play thread is brought to you all, as always, through the generosity of our exaulted leader, Jeremy!!!

Your announcer tonight will be - ME!

All I ask is that you keep your comment positive in THIS thread! It takes a lot of focus to do the play-by-play. You know me - I'm a positive person and one of the biggest Kings homers around. If I have to wade through a lot of negative stuff about my beloved Kings while I'm trying to do the PBP, I get very frustrated.

There's the game thread piksi started, so if you need to vent please do it there.

Thanks and let's get ready for a good, good game!!!

GO KINGS!!!
