Kings v. Hawks PLAY-BY-PLAY thread

[VF21]

Miller makes both.

57-45 KINGS

Walker miss; Bibby board.

Bibby bad miss; ATL board.

Harrington for two.

57-47 KINGS

Bibby with the ball, kills clock, passes over to Webber at the last second. Shot misses, Barnes gets the board but the buzzer sounds.

End of the first half.

 

[VF21]

It appeared as though Bibby might have been fouled, causing the bad miss. No call, but NOT a clear-cut foul IMHO. He pretty much just stopped and stood there, allowing ATL to have a wide open man and an easy two. Adelman was yelling at Bibby to get back into the play.

 

[VF21]

They're showing the Webber-Nowitzki RIVALRY WEEK commercial. They're showing a lot of behind the scenes stuff. Webber says he was scared of the llama. "I'm not a real big animal person unless it's a dog. I was afraid of the llama."

If I remember correctly, The Freak said this was filmed at Gavin's house right downt he street from her. And they just confirmed it was, in fact, Gavin's house.

 

[VF21]

Keys to the game update:

They need to work a little more on guarding the basket.

Good job so far of shutting the "Josh" factor down.

Rebounds ATL 15, Kings 14

Grant and Jerry are agreeing the Kings need to step on the Hawks throats HARD and not let up. And I totally agree.

ET says:

We had good ball movement and stuck to the game plan. We always talk about the killer instinct. We talked about coming out in the third and putting the game away. Now all we have to do is do it.
