[VF21]

GOOD production from the Kings in the first half. Contrary to what's being said in the game thread, I personally believe Mike is having an EXCELLENT overall game.

personal rant: Call me terminal homer, but I'm not about to go smacking the guy who has 23 points in the first half, doing a good job on containing Jason Kidd, is distibuting the ball well, etc. I just don't understand why some fans have to find something to slam about our own, especially when that player is having an excellent night, clearly "in the game," etc. /end rant.
