What the hell was Bibby chucking up a 27 footer for?

And this is new?

 

[Honolulu Kings Fan]

He must of thought he had a good chance to make it... I mean he already hit 5 shots on 17 attempts before chucking up that trey.

 

[gunks]

Good 4th...Maybe they should play a whole game like that.


And maybe Bibby needs to be more of a distributor and less of a chucker. 9 assists was nice....5-18 shooting...Not so nice.

I hate being teased

yea this is all too familiar

because he is clutch

 

[piksi]

The game is 4 quarters long. One good quarter is just not enough

When Miller plays like this he's a pleasure to watch, and a valuable asset to the team. His D has been great tonight, and he's taking open shots. What a difference, more active and mobile that I've seen him in awhile. Win, lose or draw, he needs to play like this.

WELCOME BACK BRAD!!

lloks like we found a true purpose for Jason Hart

LOL. His reaction after that was priceless.

*head down*...

"Back to the bench I go"

 

[ShatteredVision]

Those crazy Kings, had enough to win this one, but inexperience is just one of those things...

Jason "The Enforcer" Hart

 

[ShatteredVision]

Probably could have had a better shot...

But well played to the end.

 

[creAtivetfh]

wow that wasnt even close

 

[Honolulu Kings Fan]

****!! It figures Bibby our "hottest" shooter takes the final shot...

 

[kingsfan52miller]

At least we didnt get blown out :-\

 

[ezekielbear]

That was the best shot we could have had with 4 seconds?

I think it took Kevin 3 to get from one side of the court to the next the prior shot.

 

[fnordius]

Kind of "interesting" decision to have 5-19 Bibby take the last shot of the game, rather than 9-15 Martin.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

Good comeback

 

[pdxKingsFan]

It looked like he had a good 1.5 on the clock when he chucked that from half court. At least time enough for another 2-3 steps methinks.

eta: With 4 seconds on the clock, no timeouts and a missed rebound they could not pick and choose who was going to attempt the shot. Bibby pretty much had to take it based on the way things were developing. I just with he had taken one more dribble before heaving it, definitely not blasting him.

 

[SacBlaze]

3 other guys were alot closer to the basket, no need to pass it to bibby there, throw it down tak a better shot. Well am happy we fought back, Now i need a shot of Patron and going to try to enjoy the rest of my night!

 

[PieceOfStrange]

Hey, at least the game was fun to watch. I was not enjoying the first half one bit. The defense in the fourth quarter was quality, the Spurs got some lucky bounces after the Kings had wound down the shot clock. Tough loss but at least they competed.

I thought EXACTLY the same thing, i dont think bibby realized how much time there was

 

[AriesMar27]

yeah this game is over....

damn i hate being right....

 

[PieceOfStrange]

Bibby seems to have a problem all game long with the shot clock

 

[fnordius]

Oh well, at least K$ didn't land on Bowen's foot.

I couldn't see Martin on that last play, but I suspect the Spurs would have had him be the most closely guarded King out there.

 

[KingsChick]

Why in the heck would Bibby shoot from half-court when he had like 2 seconds left, he could've done something smarter like passing it to someone who was close to the hoop.

 

[Honolulu Kings Fan]

Bibby seemed to be having a lot of problems tonight, except for one small run during the second quarter. In hindsight, if Martin took 19 shots and Bibby took 15 shots I say we win.

 

[VF21]

I can live with this loss and I'm not going to second-guess the last 3 seconds. It's real easy to talk about what you would have done, etc. after the fact but it's a lot different when you're out there on the court.

The Kings pulled together as a team. Had things gone just a little differently, they might have actually won. It was hard-fought and I won't begrudge the Spurs this win. The Kings learned something about themselves tonight and I think it will seve them well in the future.
