Kings-Warriors PBP for Feb. 9

[VF21]

Greetings fellow Kings fans!

I was originally planning on attending the KF.com night at HPL but things like Mother Nature got in the way so I'm here for those who need me.

I spent the day in town and it was wonderful. I love the snow but it was past time for me to be able to spend a day without having to wade through the white stuff.

I've got my purple slippers, some Shrimp Soup from El Zarape (in Yuba City) and a fresh pot of coffee. Once again, I'm doing my part. It's up to the Kings to do the rest!

Let's get ready for some Kings basketball!!

GO KINGS!!!

 

[VF21]

If you're not watching the game at least you didn't have to view the clip - once again - of Webber dropping to the floor in Dallas... I sure wish they wouldn't show that clip. As much as I know full well that time is completely over, it still hurts just a little to see it. That team was flat out unbelievable.

Anyway, word is Garcia is out which isn't unexpected.

 

[VF21]

It looks as though Garcia is the one on the inactive list tonight as Justin, Dahntay and Kenny are all out on the court warming up...
