Welcome, fellow Kings fans!

I hope each of you had a joyous Christmas. While I didn't get snow for Christmas Eve, it appears that should be rectified before morning. The temperature is plummeting and it's being predicted that I could have a foot of snow by tomorrow afternoon... No worries. I have a nice supply of firewood and no important places to be so I'm in good shape.

:D

***short commercial break***Tonight's PBP will be brought to you once again because of the dedication and devotion of our board owner and Grand Poobah, Jeremy... If you would like to help defray the costs of keepings Kingsfans.com up and running, please check out the Paid Subscription area in the Miscellaneous section of your User Control Panel. Thank you!!! ***end commercial break***

Okay, as is usual I have my favorite beverage(s) chilling in the refrigerator. I actually have some Egg Nog to compliment my usual Dt. Pepsi Vanilla (and no, I'm not planning on combining the two...) I washed the purple slippers, the lucky socks and my Christie jersey to make sure no traces of the loss are lingering. My various totems have also been taken down and washed. I've done everything I can - the rest is up to the team. ;)

Just a reminder: If you want to chip in during the PBP with a quick POSITIVE comment, no problem. If, however, you want to post ongoing discussions about the game, negative comments, etc. please use the regular game-time discussion thread. I do this PBP for the Kings fans who cannot see the game on their own. I enjoy doing it. All I ask in return is that my positive attitude not be put to the test by a lot of negative or snide comments, etc. It's just a request for the PBP thread. If I get too caught up in trying to respond to those comments, then I'm not doing the PBP and the real losers in the situation are the poor fans who wanted to follow the game via Kingsfans.com

Still a few hours until game time. Make sure you have everything you need to settle down and enjoy the game. IF you're participating in the prediction game, make sure you get your predictions in BEFORE 6 P.M.

Thank you... and GO KINGS!!!

:D

This just in - apparently Flash is still suffering from the flu, as he's listed on espn as being questionable. I really thnk he needs to work on timing these illnesses a little better. Having the flu against the Spurs or the Heat or someone like that? No problem since the chances of seeing much PT are slim. Having the flu against the Hornets or the Warrios? Not good...not good at all.

Get well soon, Kevin!!

One more reminder: We also have a chat going during the game. It's located at mIRC. Server is irc.bludgeon.org and channel is #Kingsfans.

I'll be back to give you my impressions of the pre-game warmup show. ;)

I'm eating a quick dinner. You aren't missing a thing by not seeing the pre-game warm-up show, with the exception of Brad MIller taking a bunch of Big Brother/Big Sister kids to Toys R Us for Christmas and letting them pick out anything they want. That was nice...

Whew. Warm-up show over... I actually switched over and watched a few more minutes of "A Knight's Tale" rather than suffer through it.

Interesting development - Tag has taken over the cheerleading duties in the circular dance they do to conclude the intros. He's smiling, gesturing and chanting.

Ready for the tip off...

Stay with me, BigWaxer... There's a song that has, as part of its lyrics, "in the midnight hour, she cried "more, more, more"... and it sounds like "mo"...That was what I was referring to.
