Jackson hacks up a hairball to end the first quarter.

 

[VF21]

Overall impression is that if the Kings play their game, keep moving the ball, setting picks for Pedja, hustling on the boards (where the heck is/was Miller for those rebounds???) and keeping Kobe somewhat under control, this game could be a fairly easy win.

 

[VF21]

Bobby, Barnes, Webber, Pedja and Darius in to start the second quarter.

[VF21]

Ah, nice. Talking about the 40-4 quarter...

[VF21]

2:54 left in the first half.

News10 going to have a "beautiful tribute to Vlade Divac" during the half.

Sorry, but I think it's premature. Vlade isn't dead; he isn't retired; he's a Laker. Hold the bleeping tributes until he's retired!!!!

Just my three cents...
