Kings-Mavs gametime thread

[VF21]

While I would normally do the play-by-play, I'm just sitting back and enjoying the game...

Hopefully, most of you are watching via Comcast, League Pass, or something...



GO KINGS!!!

Starting lineup: Bibby, Evans, Pedja, Webber and Miller

9-5 Dallas with 7:46 left...

 

[VF21]

Kings moving the ball but the shots just aren't falling for them yet.

Nowitzki is, of course, having no problems whatsoever.

I'm seeing good ball movement and a lot of player movement away from the ball for the Kings. The shots will start to fall...

I'm listening on the radio...No TV here shows it.


GO KINGS!!!

 

[KingKong]

Nope I got nothing here. If you could keep me updated during the breaks it would be greatly appreciated. thanks

 

[VF21]

Miller drives inside for a nice lay-up...

Followed by a slam by Dampier.

15-7 Mavs

Webber jumper for two.

15-9 Mavs

 

[piksi]

Looks like we are still in the pre season mode

 

[VF21]

Nowitzki for another easy, open two...

17-9

Pedja goes inside, appears open. Is hit from behind by Josh Howard - Pedja to the line.

 

[4cwebb]

Has anyone mentioned why Peja isn't guarding Dirk exclusively? Sounds as if Dirk is killing the Kings to start the game.

Cold shooting to start the game, as well.

 

[VF21]

Pedja - nothing but net, twice.

17-11 5:01 left

 

[vj9999]

Get Dampier in foul trouble ASAP

 

[VF21]

Dampier for another nice dunk. I don't think I like the Mavs having an actual threat inside...

19-11

Miller works against Dampier on our end and draws the foul.

Miller to the line...

 

[VF21]

Oops. Foul called on Daniels instead of Dampier.

Miller makes both...

19-13 Mavs with 4:20 left

 

[VF21]

Stackhouse miss; Bibby board.

Pedja for two.

19-15 Mavs

Stackhouse inside, blocked by Pedja.

Bibby inside for the lay-up, tip in by Webber.

19-17 Mavs

 

[piksi]

Has anyone mentioned why Peja isn't guarding Dirk exclusively? Sounds as if Dirk is killing the Kings to start the game.

Cold shooting to start the game, as well.

I do not think that we can afford foul trouble also lokks like Dirk is playing PF at the moment.

 

[VF21]

Dampier for two.

Kings turnover; Nowitzki miss but Daniels tip-in.

23-17 Mavs with 2:59 left.

Kings timeout.

 

[VF21]

Hmmmmmmmm. I'm not sure how this happened. I could have sworn I promised myself I wasn't going to do the PBP...

 

[KingKong]

Who's guarding Dirk??? BTW thanks a lot VF21 for the updates

 

[piksi]

Hmmmmmmmm. I'm not sure how this happened. I could have sworn I promised myself I wasn't going to do the PBP...

we appreciate it.

Anything on DC

 

[vj9999]

Ostertag getting ready to come in.

 

[4cwebb]

I don't want to invade the play-by-play thread too much, but can the Kings at least start to play defense at any point in the first quarter?

 

[vj9999]

Webber is our best player so far.

 

[VF21]

The Kings are switching defenders on Nowitzki, not that it matters. He's going to get his shots, especially without Christie out there.

Webber baseline move to the rim for two.

23-19

Daniels for two.

25-19

Jerry and Grant both talking about how good Webber loks. He just set a beautiful pick for Bibby but Bibby couldn't finish...

Terry for 3...

28-19

Entry pass to Webber for two.

Grant and Jerry still raving about Webb.



28-21 Mavs 1:23 left

Webber has scored the last six points for the Kings.

 

[VF21]

Ostertag in...and Bobby coming in.

Dampier at the line.

Makes both.

30-21

Dirk on the bench, Jerry says it loks as though he might have a sore ankle.

WEbber drives inside and draws the foul from Henderson.

Webber to the line...

 

[4cwebb]

CWebb, please, please make your free throws. Mavs up 30-21.

 

[VF21]

Webber misses both.

Mavs miss.

Barnes moves inside for two.

30-23 Mavs

 

[vj9999]

Great. Peja missing layups again.

 

[VF21]

30-23 at the end of the first.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Will Pedjaever learn how to dunk?

 

[Variant]

Well, Mavs came out pumped up in their own arena. I imagine some of that energy will fade as the game continues. Glad to be down only 7...

Get a hand up when Dirk shoots guys, and hit those FT's!

 

[VF21]

vj9999 - Do you remember VF21's first law of Pedja basketball from last year?

I'd just as soon he started off a little slow, because that means he should set the place on fire in the second half.



This wasn't a bad quarter. It's the first game of the season. There are going to be mistakes.

AND we're playing Dallas in Dallas for their home opener.
