Kings v. Clipper PBP thread - MONDAY EARLY

[VF21]

Good ball movement; Darius jumper goes.

72-70 Clips

Kaman works MIller out of his shoes and gets the half-hook.

74-70 Clips

Miller is getting thoroughly banged up and mugged. It's as though the officials are just waiting to see if he loses his temper again. Finally, bibby draws a foul on MUCH LESS contact.

Commercial break.

 

[VF21]

IMHO as long as Miller lets himself show his frustration, he is NOT going to get the calls he deserves. In the last minute he has been grabbed, his arm has been held, he was smacked in the head by someone going for the ball... the officials saw it all and did nothing.

Bibby at the line.

great job calling the game. I"m at work, so it was good to get updates. I'm going to have a heart attack.......

 

[piksi]

Not a good game but a great win

 

[OptimusRhyme]

Good job VF!

 

[ZEKEDAWG]

That is awesome, I can surf the net all day at work, but I just can't get them to give me a TV. Thanks for the PBP. makes life bearable!

 

[6th]

Not a good game but a great win

There were times that the Kings could have completely fallen apart and given up this game. They did not. Instead, they finally got Brad calmed down and they all gritted it out. Great win. Much better than an easy win, because it shows the determination and fire that this team is made of. Woohoo!!

I LOVE THIS TEAM!!

 

[VF21]

Grant talking to Webber and asks him about Cuttino. Webber says, "Oh, man. He was huge today and we wouldn't have won today without him."

I agree. I see a lot in Cat that reminds me of vintage DC. The hustle, never letting himself get out of the action, etc.

I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!

KingsFan54 - Thanks. I appreciate the kind words.

 

[VF21]

Grant and Jerry talking in front of a curtain. Cat runs by and grins. Jerry says, "The Cat can strike at any time!"

Boy, howdy...

 

[Twix]

Cat said on the radio that his favorite player is Scottie Pippen. He wants to be like Scottie, an all-around player.

Even though Kings shot horrible from the FT line, got outrebound and killed in the 2nd chance & paint, they were able to find a way to dig out a win on the road. Very nice win!! I love Cat!! His 3 pointer with 1 min left was the PLAY OF THE GAME (to me)!!! BIG PLAY!

GO KINGS!!!

 

[VF21]

Good road win. Cat and Mike playing very well together. Imagine how they'll do when they actually have some time to really practice.
