MORE
ON THE GAME
Rookie
For
anybody that hasn't gotten to watch a Kings
game at Arco from the lower bowl, I would
highly recommend it!! A totally different
experience. I was amazed at how FAST the
game feels from that perspective. The floor
seemed small, and it seemed so crowded!!
SamauraiGirl31, you will have a blast when
you get to go in January!!
The
biggest bonus is getting to see the expressions
on the faces of the players!! And to hear
the sounds of them running up and down the
floor, and the ball bouncing, etc. From
the 5th row, it was like a thundering herd. |

Wallace must be very bruised and battered this
morning; he just kept flying into the crowd, and
I mean flying!! I can't believe how big these
guys really are!!
The
first quarter was the most exciting, and it seemed
to get less and less intense as it went along.
Other than the beginning of the 3rd quarter seemed
to get really physical - bodies flying everywhere!!
The Nuggets were determined to come out and get
back into that game by mugging any King that got
his hands on the ball. Glad to see the Kings didn't
come out in the 3rd quarter and totally let down
like they did in Denver; although it seemed like
neither team wanted the ball there for a while.

On
the fan participation front, the wave was just too
cool!!! Kind of seemed like the fans decided if
the arena wasn't going to do anything to get the
crowd going, they'd do it themselves!! The players
kept glancing up into the crowd as the wave of sound
moved around the arena; it was fun.
I'm off to go nurse my hangover somemore - I had
TOO MUCH FUN!! Arco is just the place to be, no
matter who the Kings are playing.
GO KINGS!!

Interesting
stat here. In the last 10 games, the team with the
best record (9-1) is not the Dallas Mavericks (8-2)
the Indiana Pacers (7-3) or Philidelpia (8-2), but
the Utah Jazz (9-1)! Oh, and YOUR SACRAMENTO KINGS
too Props to the team for continuing to win despite
the odds and the injuries Tough stretch coming up
here, starting in San An, then Houston (playing
much better), and on to Utah, where the old geezers
seem to be pretty re-vitalized. A good challenge
for our make-shift line-up. At least the games are
spread out well, no back to backs, and even a 3
day stretch where they might conceivably be able
to get in a little practice.
One of the things I love about being a Kings fan,
our team plays with passion, heart and a love of
the game. Glad I don't have to wait for them to
'flip the switch' or sleep-walk their way through
the regular season. I would find that attitude to
be totally unacceptable, not something to be proud
of at all.

I'm not proud of it, but I actually caught
myself rooting for the Lakers in their comeback.
That look on Cuban's face was classic. He was so
cocky through the whole game, and when the Lakers
started closing in, he looked like he swallowed
his sneakers. It didn't really matter to me who
won or lost this one. I just wanted Dallas to struggle
a little. All I wanted was a Kings win...and of
course they do. Wish I could have seen it.
