Kings@Warriors PBP thread for Dec. 12

It's another cold day here in the forest. Gray and drizzling, but no more snow - at least not for now.
The Kings are playing tonight in what used to be called Arco West, but I'm not sure the name is appropriate any longer. We'll have to wait and see...
Coming off a nice win - even against a depleted Hawks team - should serve as some kind of motivation. I don't even presume to know how the trade rumors have effected them, but I would hope they're professionals and not anywhere near as emotional about all this as some of us were.
The pros play the game; the fans agonize over every little nuance. That's our job; it's what we do. The players' job is to go out there and play to the best of their abilities.
I think they'll be fine. Trades aren't something they don't see every day.
Anyway, back to tonight's game...
I've got my Gevalia French Vanilla coffee brewed; I've got the fire going quite nicely in the woodstove; I've got potatoes cut to make homemade garlic fries.
As usual, you have options available here at Kingsfans.com to share your game-time enjoyment. You can follow along with this PBP. You can join in the discussion in piksi's game thread. You can also check out CHAT at mIRC, server irc.bludgeon.org, channel #kingsfans.
Now, let's get everything done early so we can kick back and watch the game. I hope it's gonna be a good one.
GO KINGS!!!!

Update from House Party Live: No one sitting out tonight, which is always a clue to a possible trade. 
They did say Artest's ankle is sore (which was reported by Amick as a result of a practice mishap yesterday) but he will probably play.
I'm just voicing a hunch here, but I think Mike Bibby will have a very good game tonight.

Grant keeps saying the Warriors will give their opponents a chance to get back into games. What he's not saying is that the opponents have to want it. This is just deplorable. It's like they're putting forth all the effort in the world but without any talent, and I know that's not the case.
