Wolves -Kings PBP for 11/06

[LMM]

HOME OPENER!!!

VF and a lot of KF members are going to the game so I figured I'd do the PBP for the people who always depend on VF's PBP. To the people who are going, you guys are so lucky! Have Fun!!! I'm sure you guys will cheer loudly and represent us Kings fans very well!

Anyway, this is a PBP to give the people a feel of how the game is going and not just stats like you'll get from yahoo or nba PBP. I try to put as much info as I can, but realize that they will be slightly biased I will also make occasional mistakes so bear with me.

For those people who don't know, League Pass is FREE, has been free, for a week. This is the last game you will be able to see for free on league pass. So if for some reason, you forgot that LP was free, go check your local listings. And for those who don't get the free LP, I think audio league pass may be free also. Not sure about that. But I guess it's worth a shot. Head over to nba.com and check it out

Game time is 7pm (10pm ET)

GO KINGS!

 

[DocHolliday]

I'll be at the game tonight with a few people form work. My K-Money jersey is waiting for me at the Arena.

GO KINGS!!!

 

[LMM]

I'm watching the game via free NBA League Pass so I don't get House Party Live and I don't know if I'll get some of the pregame stuff they do for the Home Opener.

If you guys want to share some stuff during pregame, please feel free to do so.

 

[LMM]

here we go.

we are the last team to play a home game in the league.

muss talking about the loss of brad.

basically talked about the loss offensively. stretching the floor, passing, etc.

Reef starting at center.
