Kings v. Heat PBP thread

[VF21]

It's game day, fellow Kings fans!

While the Kings will be without Bobby Jackson, the Miami Heat just might be without their starting center... Could get very interesting without him.

I'm not going to count him out, however, until the team takes the court. He loves to play in Arco...

As usual, I have beverages chilling; my purple slippers, lucky sox and Christie jersey are at the ready; all my lucky totems are in their proper places... In other words, VF21's house is game-ready!!!

 

[iheartBrad]

they are playin the heat right?

 

[VF21]

The thread title has been corrected... I did have it right in the actual post.



Anyway, I'll be doing the PBP while watching TNT. (Not my favorite channel to watch a Kings game on - and Barkley at half-time is generally enough to cause me to exhibit severe digestive distress.)

Four hours until game time and with any luck at all the early game WON'T go into over-time...

GO KINGS!!!

 

[bballagrl24]

I know....the games b4 the kingsz game seem to always seem to go into overtime

 

[VF21]

Okay, Spurs won...which was nice.

I found out the one broadcaster I totally detest isn't going to be doing the broadcast tonight...which was nice.

The early game didn't go to overtime...also nice.

The immense center for the Heat is playing...which doesn't bother me because I think our Kings can beat the Heat!!!

We're about ready for game-time...

 

[VF21]

Jones, Haslem, O'NeaL Wade and Jones for the Heat.

Pedja, Webber, Brad, Doug and Mike for the Kings.

Already the TNT crew is beside themselves with joy over seeing Shaq on the court...

I may lose my spleen.

 

[VF21]

And the Heat blah, blah, blah... blah, blah, blah.

Kings greeting O'Neal on the court, smiling and man arm hugs going on...

Wade hoisted to his feet. Foul is on Wade.

Commercial.

 

[x 213 x]

hopefully nothing serious for miller

 

[VF21]

Wade tried to draw the charge on Miller. Not the smartest thing for somebody his size to try to do. Not sure how Miller got cut, but it's on his shin and was definitely bleeding. He was helped off the court by the trainer.

Wade didn't get up until just as they went to commercial.

 

[vj9999]

I hope Brad is fine.

 

[Geoff]

Sod! I hope Brad isn't hurt too bad...

who put the voodoo on the kings???

 

[Bballkingsrock]

This is unbelievable. This cant be happing!

 

[VF21]

Brad doesn't look that bad. I think, if anything, Wade got the worst of the deal. I hope they're BOTH okay. I hate injuries, regardless of the team invovled.

 

[RaY Z]

THINK positive guys!!!!!

plus greg gonna play hard!!!!

brad will be back... just needs stiches by the looks of it...

 

[love_them_kings]

Brad doesn't look that bad. I think, if anything, Wade got the worst of the deal. I hope they're BOTH okay. I hate injuries, regardless of the team invovled.

Wait - we need Miller out there now or he's out for the game!!

 

[VF21]

27-19 KINGS

1:41 left in the first.

Kings take a quick time out because Brad is still in the locker room. He HAS to come out to shoot the FT or he's out for the rest of the game...
