Welcome, fellow Kings fans!

It's another beautiful day here in the forest but COLD. The sky is brilliant blue and the sunlight is almost blinding. The few remnants of snow have ice crystals glittering like diamonds against the deep green of the pines. The wind is gusting from the north, so it is - as I said - COLD. Inside it's snug and warm, thanks to the woodstove.

I've got my purple slippers, lucky socks, Bibby jersey and Kings "trekkie" shirt ready for tonight's game, along with the Kings blankey. All my totems are in their proper locations, and have not been moved since our game Sunday.

**Commercial break** I do these PBPs for the enjoyment and convenience of our members and guests who cannot see or listen to the game. I can do that because of the unending generosity and dedication of our board owner, Jeremy. If you would like to help defray the costs of keeping Kingsfans.com up and running, please consider becoming a contributing member. You are, of course, under no obligation. For more information about becoming a contributing member, please check the sticked thread at the top of this forum. Thank you! **End Commercial Break**

If you want to talk about the game as it progresses, be sure and check the other game thread started by piksi, and our chat, located at mIRC, server: irc.bludgeon.org, channel #Kingsfans. I ask that people not use THIS thread for game-time discussion as it really stops the flow of the PBP.

As far as our line-up goes, the Bee reported this morning that both Pedja and Chris are starting. Good news for all Kings fans!!!

I have a feeling tonight is going to be another great night for all of us. It's Kevin Martin's birthday and I think a decisive win over the Sonics will be a nice way to celebrate. BTW, be sure and add your greetings to the Happy Birthday Kevin thread (in the main Kings forum). And add your support in the Go Kings thread for good measure!

Six hours til game time.

GO KINGS!!!

Does anyone know if Webb or Peja will Play? When does Mo Come back?
Not sure about Webb and Pedja. But it is listed that they are starting. Right now, only best to wait and see until the game start.

Mo should be back tomorrow vs Warriors.

Grant seems to think there will be no Peja and Chris will be doubtful-game time decision.
I think Kings will do alright with no Webb and Pedja. Especially if Sonics have no Allen. :)

About 45 minutes until the pre-game show. So, Grant has said Webber will be a game-time decision? I sure would like to see him at least come out at the beginning of the game - to hear the crowd voice their approval of his selection of POTM if nothing else.

It's time for House Party. Koz at Arco, right outside section 112. Koz talking first about the 250th sellout AND then the formal announcement that the Kings have exercised the option on Adelman's contract.

RA's comments:

Very happy. Maloofs have been very good to me and I feel good about this option being picked up. I love coaching here - the city and the team - and this gives me security and the feeling I can build this year and next year.

Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

Let's review:

1. Kevin's 22nd birthday.
2. Chris Webber announced as Player of the Month for January.
3. Rick Adelman's contract option exercised by the Maloofs through 2006 season.
4. Arco sells out for the 250th consecutive time.
5. Brad Miller announced as Player of the Week (yesterday)

Yep, looks pretty good to me!

:D

New feature: Meet the Royal Court Dancer. Becky is the first. She's going to be singing the national anthem for tonight's game. Becky has been a member of the RCD for four years.

They show the crowd as they go to commercial. There's a young woman holding up a huge "Happy Birthday Special K" sign ... and it's not Kingsgurl.

Oohh...I'm so glad other fans are already catching on the "Special K".

Grant says Pedja is definitely making progress. Pedja hopes to be back to play this week - most likely Friday or Saturday. The back definitely feels a lot better.

Webber is also sitting out because of his knee. "There's no pain like sitting on the bench. The worst pain is sitting there and NOT being able to play."

About Koz using Special K? He learned about it from Kingsgurl via an email. She then took him a copy of the Special K box designed by rhuber. He interviewed her about it during the Pre-Game Show. Kingsgurl gave a shout out to rhuber AND to kingsfans.com. I don't recall the game but here's the thread about the Special K box.

Thank you.
