The Birds really didn’t want this one but we pulled it out. The game was actually tied 100-100 with about a minute left when the Hawks decided to let anyone except Kevin Martin beat them and we pulled it out. Martin was just sick – 32 points on just 17 shots. He got to the line 17 teams and made 14 of the charity shots. The Hawks would have lost had this not been a place where Mike Bibby loves to play. Bibbs had 29 points 5 boards 4 assists and 3 steals (along with 3 turnovers). I thought Bibby may have been cursed after he scored 12 in the first quarter and ‘Nique said something to the tune of, “Mike is going to have a huge game tonight.” C’mon ‘Nique we are at game 54 someone has to tell you these predictions are not good for the heart.
But Bibby didn’t let anyone down although he did miss 4 of 9 free throws. That brings us to the negatives of this game. Well besides for the fact that we turned a mid 2nd quarter 13 point lead into a 4 point half time deficit to the SACRAMENTO KINGS. Who probably cannot out bench press the Sacramento Monarchs. Anyone the Hawks went 22 of 34 from the line for a dreadful 65%. We are 2nd best of the worst in free shots this year, ahead of the Magic. I’d rather catch them in the Southeastern division rather then have that distinction.
Other stuff: Joe put in 20 but looked soft again. I just wish he would go nuts and just score the ball when he wants to. Al had a nice game with 18 point and 18 boards. The 18 boards were a season high, 3rd best for high career, and the 18 points were the most he has had with at least 18 boards. Good job fillin’ the lane for Brad Miller. Also, Mario had 12 seconds of Pt and recorded a foul. Way to get in the box score, Mario.
Flip Murray should hopefully be back Friday from the family problems he has had going on. We are going to need him if we play like we did last night or Tuesday in LA, against Portland Friday.
