House party awards:

Team MVP - Mike Bibby (Kara)
Team Most Valuable Person - Rick Adelman (Koz)
NBA MVP - Shaq (Kara)
NBA MVP - Nash (Koz)

There were more, but I lost interest...

They're going to have a homage to House Party, since this is the last one of the year.

 

[VF21]

Starting lineups:

Jazz: McLeod, Giricek, Harpring, Okur, Collins
Kings: Bibby, Cat, Evans, Thomas, Skinner

If the Jazz don't win tonight, it will be their worst home record in franchise history - according to long-time Jazz announcer, Hot Rod Huntley.

Come on, Kings!! Let's make this Jazz worst home record!!!

GO KINGS!!!!

 

[VF21]

Whoa. Just showed outside the Delta Center and it's been snowing in Salt Lake City and is currently raining. NASTY weather. I hope they just make Jazz fans wish they'd stayed home. There are LOTS of Kings fans in the stands. Whooooo!

I predict a very strong game from our starters. They don't want people to think about what happened the other day in that other place...

In case it didn't get mentioned, one bright spot about the last game - and there were very, vew few - was Kevin Martin, with 10 points and 6 boards. Nice outting by our Special K!

 

[VF21]

Keys to the game:

• Run the offense! No quick shots!

• Force turnovers.

• Transition defense!

 

[VF21]

The Delta Center is about 1/3 full and I'd say about 1/4 of those there are Kings fans.

Jerry Miller making a tearful announcement to the crowd. Thanking the fans for sticking with the team through thick and thin, and promising the Jazz will come back next year bigger and better than ever. Interesting - and somewhat sad, especially with about 2/3 of the seats empty.
