Game Notes

Blogging With the Enemy: Liberty Ballers

The Hawks continue their efforts to promote League Pass as they once more choose not to broadcast the game locally.

Pre-game reading...

"It was a no-brainer. I felt, and I’m sure Billy and everybody else involved felt, Bibby would fit perfectly because he’s a great pick and roll player and could create shots for everybody, as well as being a guy who makes big shots, a guy that isn’t afraid to take and will make big shots. Plus, he’s a veteran. It wasn’t like we were bringing in some untested guy.”

If they come here untested, they're sure to leave in the same condition.

"The ball has bounced our way for the past few games," said point guard Andre Miller, who scored 22 points Friday and whose all-around play has been an integral part of the Sixers' improved play. "We picked up our defense, the bench is forming, and the young guys are getting better. Elton Brand will come back, and we will just get better."

Miller added, "We want to hit teams before they hit us. That's what I am thinking before the game starts."

Hey Bret

How are you following this game…no access to ATL radio. Any better ways than ESPN gamecast?

Pick and roll? Huh?

Bibby’s a great pick and roll guy? Who does he pick and roll with, himself? It seems the rest of the Hawks are terrible at it.

Didn’t feel like the timing for that article about the great backcourt pair of Bibby and JJ seem ill-timed?

Maybe Sekou is just a big jinx.

Common theme here

Teams are stating that they want to hit first, and we end up never recovering. I suppose that’s the key to winning against the Hawks, to hit us first…
