[BigWaxer]

No Bibby. Don't know about the others, just caught the tail end before the start

 

[VF21]

BIC - If you watch the pre-game show, you can't miss her. I'm guessing about half-way into the show but I was talking to her on the phone before I posted it on the board so I'm not sure.

 

[VF21]

Kings line-up - Pedja, Chris, Brad, MO and Eddie...

Notes: Webber looks good. Pedja is really hustling. Kevin looks a lot more comfortable out there than Eddie did AND has actually done more than the stats will tell. At least one Jazz miss has been because Kevin altered the shot and, in one case, got the rebound, too. Brad has only taken one shot. Evans looks ice cold.
