Kind of a big game for us, if you guys don't know.

This was supposed to be the final home game before the Maloofs had to file or not file relocation papers, so Sactofans have been working our butts off to get this place sold out and ready to remind Kings owners to keep our team here - and out of your already crowded neck of the woods.

Best of luck to you guys, but we really need this win. Biggest game for SACRAMENTO, maybe not the team but certain the city, in years.

^^Yeah, being a former Sonics fan I've read about you guys trying to make this one a sell out to show up before the Maloofs can file for relocation.

Though, I've got a hard time seeing you guys working anything out, with no new arena on the horizon.

Still, I'm wishing you well and that you keep the franchise, after seing what happened to Seattle.

As far as this game goes.
Gordon being out longer is a pretty big downer, but I hope Mo and Moon(yeah, I think he can help us and should see some PT) make up for that and help us sweep the season series.
I just want to see this team gel and win some more games, going into the next season, whenever that one will start.

Come on, man. This is the NBA, and these are all professionals. They play to win every game...Period. With that said, I really hope the Kings stay in Sacramento. Fans deserve to have that team kept there. You guys might have a decent shot at the game, though (even without Tyreke)...We haven't exactly been playing good basketball with Eric Gordon out, even with the news guys debuting.

Clip notes 4 Kings/Clipper GM: VDN told me Eric Gordon will warm-up, might get few mins 2night, but mainly prepping him 4 Weds.

No EJ tonight. However, he will practice tomorrow and hope to play on Wednesday against the Rockets.

Gordon will NOT suit up tonight, according to the pregame show.

JGlanton · Post #8 » by **JGlanton** » Tue Mar 1, 2011 2:58 am

Mo Williams will start tonight.

Pain or no pain, it's good to see Eric shooting again.

Willie moves back to the inactive list. We better play well, because I wouldn't mind watching Sampras VS Agassi.

Kings wearing the Rochester Royals uniforms tonight. A little weird with the fans wanting to save the Kings in Sacramento tonight.

I'm really liking Sac's energy. Liking everything except Gomes so far.

Post #15 » by **mkwest** » Tue Mar 1, 2011 3:25 am

Mo flubbed the lob to Blake, but he'll figure it out soon enough.

Leor_77 · Post #16 » by **Leor_77** » Tue Mar 1, 2011 3:26 am

Liking Mo.

Post #17 » by **mkwest** » Tue Mar 1, 2011 3:26 am

Mo makes his first basket as a Clipper to give us a 14-13 lead. He then leads a fastbreak for the easy score.

Leor_77 · Post #18 » by **Leor_77** » Tue Mar 1, 2011 3:27 am

Sac bigs should be in foul trouble.

Leor_77 · Post #19 » by **Leor_77** » Tue Mar 1, 2011 3:31 am

I just love Blake ISO's.

Post #20 » by **mkwest** » Tue Mar 1, 2011 3:31 am

Blake gets rebounds that a typical player shouldn't be able to get.

Will the Clippers sweep the Kings this season?
