Kobe King looks like a deer in headlights. 

Looks like they will make double figures

Hack a Happ coming. Another missed front end of the bonus.

Is Kobe ever gonna make it to the big time???  Want him to kick arse, he’s from LaCrosse and I want him to make it to the big time.

My post from tonight was after a play in which King passed up an open 3 pointer  from the corner with 1 second left on the shot clock to drive and get a shot clock violation. He should have shot the open shot at any point he gets it, but he also made the mistake of not having any awareness of the shot clock. 

He looks like he's overthinking things and has lost a lot of confidence.

Happ has now missed his last 9 free throws in a row, and 10 of his last 34. 

He's to the point where he should consider the Rick Barry granny-style shot. With the way he puts spin on the ball around the rim, he'd probably become pretty proficient with the underhand shot. 

Happ now 0 for this last 11. 

Iverson has NBA level athleticism and D3 level shooting skills. 

Ethan Happ has been absolutely terrible so far this evening - especially in the second half. Careless turnovers, missed FTs. Gard has actually sat him for a couple of extended periods. 

Iverson went to the crossroads

Happ with another terrible play that leads to a 3 point play on the other end to tie it up. 

They would be much better off just sitting Happ down for the rest of the night. It's like the FT misses have gotten to him mentally

Bad call

Iverson has been great.

Gard did sit him again. 

And then Kobe King with another head scratching turnover on a 5 second violation.

Yup

Happ still sitting. Give Gard credit, it's tough to sit your best player down, but it is warranted. 

Happ has sat out the last 4:03 of this half. 

Iverson just clinched it with a deflection and steal defending an inbound. He's been outstanding. 

It makes you wonder why with his level of athleticism and effort (he always plays hard) he isn't this productive more often. 

That was an ugly win, but it counts the same as any other win. 

Happ with 6 points and 2 rebounds. 

Yeehaaa.....just saw they won, watching Amy On CNN.  Ooops, sorry no politics.....anyway, happy they won this one.  I WANT THEM TO WIN THE BIG NAME GAMES.

You'd think Ill with their handsy, on man style of defense would do the opposite for him (less opportunity to freelance), shows what I know.  You'd also think Happ would excel.
