Big Market Teams

[Daniel Forant Sr <dforant1@nycap.rr.com>]

Rookie of the month for Feb., was Pierce, a lot of pressure for a rookie in

injury. When the team was a little more stable he played well. It has been
a different story recently. Not having any player favorite, Walker is the
team leader.
