Spreading Some Holiday Cheer

Same to all of yas, even the heathens like me.

And what about the CHP? Muhahahaha

Not to mention another lottery pick. There is no doubt the kings will be good soon.

We’re two minutes away from putting together 48 minutes of great basketball and getting a win. Let’s go Kings!

which was made famous by the show Seinfeld. And to use a variation of the the famous comedic line (dying is easy, comedy is hard):

Crying is easy, Patience is hard.

Thanks for all of your wonderful posts and good cheer, Aykis. I am glad you are a part of Kings fandom. All the best to you and your loved ones.

is to sing it loud, for all to hear

Well done.

The Kings are a mess but that doesn’t mean us fans have to follow their example, and yes, we still (and will continue to) believe.

When the good times come and we’re having an STR night for a playoff game, we’ll have a good laugh about these past years. It’s an honor to go through it with (most of) you crazy fans.

Happy holidays and let’s hope 2011 is a better year for the Kings

Where I can exert negative and positive energy at.

Merry Christmas to all in Sactown Royalty land.

This team, despite the horrible record inconsistencies, has a tremendous amount of long-term upside.
-Two strong potential stars in Tyreke and DMC.
-Pefect positioning for action after the CBA
-Players with the potential to be amazing down the road like Whiteside and Greene
-Owners who appear to be committted to staying in town, despite local apathy
-Geoff Petrie, who I trust to make the right decisions after the CBA, and
-The Maloofs who I think will be willing to spend if the team starts winning again.

This year is agonizing, but it won’t stay that way for long in my opinion.

There is a lot of moaning and groaning going on in this forum and sometimes we forget what is really important in life. NBA basketball is big business to some. To Kings fans it is just a game and a form of entertainment. We are lucky to have a team to root for in the Sacramento area. All teams have there ups and downs, at this point we are having more downs than ups. We had a lot of good glory days and we will have them again. We have a very young team that needs to grow up and mature. Try to think back when you were 19, I bet there was a lot of choking gestures and missed high fives with your parents and I’ll also bet most things turned out for the best. Regardless of your posts, good or bad, you wouldn’t be here if you didn’t care about the Kings. As a King fan it is very difficult to watch Kings games without getting fired up, angry, disappointed, etc…….If you have your good health, food on the table and a warm abode, that’s important. Basketball is just a game………and no I am not a minister or preacher, I just sound that way….Happy holidays.

Anyways, great post Aykis. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. I have had so much fun today. I got to put together a Radio Flyer type "Big Wheel for my 5 year old boy. It reminds me of my childhood. It was fun.

I hope everyone has fun with who they can be with at this time. Merry Christmas.

Yes, even you!

Santa will bring us 30 wins.

I probably won’t be on for a few days, just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Holiday season. This site is one of my favorites, you guys make this horrible season fun. Hope you all have a good one!

and remember …. Peaches is a tool.

The happiest and healthiest and most prosperous of holidays to each and every one of you. As Mrs. section214 likes to refer to you all as “the other woman,” let me thank you for another year of clandestine rendezvous’, for never kissing and telling, and for never leaving a hickey. You are the only “other woman” for me, and I love you for your mind as well as your body.

Anyway, big thanks to dismembered head Ziller for purchasing me from the Nike shoe factory and giving me a chance to work here. The cut in pay notwithstanding, I’m happy that I made the move.

Happy Arbor Day, everyone!

except for you (and you know who you are).
Seriously, its been as fun of year as possible (with all the losses) and we will get thru this and rise again. Happy Holidays.

The kings season would really have me down in the dumps if it wasn’t for all you guys. You guys make loosing less painfull, and make ne want to stay on the ship instead of jumping off at the first sign of a storm. In spite of all the negativity surrounding this season, the men and women of this site maintain a positve outlook for the future (most of them anyway) and realize that we are in a good position for the future. When we finally rise again to the upper ranks of NBA teams these struggles will make it oh so much sweeter!! Go Kings!!!!!!

Happy holidays to all and a healthy, fun-filled 2011.

So have fun kiddies opening your pressies. Aykis, Great post. All the things you said about the players were spot on, and its a great time to show what we appreciate from these guys.

Have a great Xmas all. Be safe.

Its nice to read a post like this. Reminds me how lucky I am to get to watch professional basketball in my hometown of Sacramento. Not too many other cities get to enjoy this type of thing (especially for areas as small as ours) and I feel pretty privileged to still get to watch Kings basketball for the past 25 years.
Sometimes I forget how bad it was back in the 90s (ugh, those nights when walt williams would turn it over to end a home loss to the bullets?!??! No thank you…) but every team turns it around at some point, and its better to watch the ride for the whole way through than to just wake up at the end. Good to see so many share the sentiment.

Cheers to those drunk heroes, one of whom emailed me last night thrilled that we posted the photo. Passion is what brings us all together — passion for the Kings. And though we frequently disagree, it’s good to know there’s a common virus among us.

Big ups to the sales side of the franchise. They have invented ticket packages that no one has ever ever ever thought up. Also, they commissioned a Carly bobblehead.

i was at the game and remember sitting close to these guys. i think they were under the influence of alcohol. great to be a kings fan!

My cuzn’z baby’z daddy’z lil bruda’z bestfren’z mama’z nexdoe neigba’s susta in law said tell ya’ll murcripmus

But I’d like to echo the sentiments that have been shared here. A happy holiday season to all of you.

I cannot adequately express in words how grateful I am to be able to be a part of this community. I’m forever thankful to Tom and Section for bringing me on, and even more thankful to anyone who reads my writing.

I love the heated discussion, the shared joys, and even the worst letdowns are easier when shared with fellow fans of your caliber.

Thank you for everything, I wish everyone a wonderful season and a wonderful new year.

This site is awesome. The intelligence, passion & humor make me come back every single day.

As a Kings fan exiled in the bay area, I consider STR my spiritual home.

Remember the feeling you had watching this team in the early 2000s? The adrenaline rush & sense of history? You’ll feel that again sooner than you think. Don’t let the apathy, pessimism & negativity get you down. The world knew us as the best fans in the NBA for a reason — let’s show them we still got it.

Happy holidays, crazies.
