Jerry's comment is that you see less fouls called on teams playing the zone, so with short bench, RA will utilize it a lot.

Nugs ball. Nene drives inside; weak reach-in foul by Pedja. HIT HIM or leave him alone, Pedja!!!!!

Nene at the line.

[VF21]

Grant and Jerry giving major props to RA for how he's utilized his players tonight - and how he's gone to the zone defense.

Now talking about Kevin. Koz called him "Special K" during the first half recap.

Pedja and Melo - 19 minutes each. Zero rebounds each.

 

[VF21]

no more words from the beligerent(sp) fan?LOL

I think he may have been escorted from the building. Or dragged outside and convinced that he might want to tone it down a bit...

 

[VF21]

WOW darius is playing like c-webb...

LOL!

Okay, that is just funny on so many different level.

Bibby, Mo, Darius, Pedja and Brad to start the second half.

Commercial.

 

[RaY Z]

Loud-mouth is back, definitely yelling at the official.

thats one thinng i can credit him for...

 

[VF21]

Webber is sitting behind the bench. Grant said his knee was sore yesterday and today, most likely a result of the 4 games in 5 nights, so they aren't taking any chances. I don't mind at all.

Trivia answer: Hurley and Smith to Vancouver for Otis Thorpe and Chris Robinson on Feb. 19, 1998.

 

[VF21]

thats one thinng i can credit him for...

I won't give him credit for a blasted thing. Loud mouths like him make it real tough on everyone around him to enjoy the game.
