TNT showed the replay about a dozen times and I wish they showed it a dozen more. With the Spurs down by three and and seconds remaining, Manu Ginobili’s sick pass through traffic to an unmolested Brent Barry is only part of what set up the shot that would ultimately doom Sacramento ; the pick Tim Duncan put on Mike Bibby needs to be described in contemporary terms. Bibby got Umbergered.
After the blowout in Game One, hands up anyone who thought the Kings had even a remote chance in this one without the services of Ron Artest.
Thank you for not calling it a ‘trey.’
