    Grabbin' and holdin' -- Bobby Jackson knows exactly what to expect from the Utah Jazz, be it a regular-season meeting or the playoffs.

    "It'll be a grab-hold fest," the Kings guard said. "That's their game. That's what the Jazz do. They've done it for years."

    And the best counter against that defense, Jackson said, is not allowing yourself to be an easy, holdable target.

    "We've got to keep moving the ball and moving around on these guys," he said.

    A primary grabber and holder is John Stockton, notorious for his ability to make steals and assists and latch on like an offensive tackle.

    "We'll have our hands full with that guy," Jackson said. "He knows how to play. He also knows how to grab and hold. But you can't let a guy hold you and not hold him right back. So I'll do it right back."

    oh, bobby. thats where you're wrong. lay a hand on stockton, or even pretend to (see steve ejection) you'll get called immediately. obvious double standard, true, and another reason to hate the jazz.
