I was just about to post new thread saying how I like what RA did for the 4th leaving in the bench until I saw this. The starters as a unit just weren't getting it done. The only one playing well was Bibby. The team should've gotten on the plane early until the bench gave the Kings a chance, playing good hard nosed defense and actually hustling. Maybe Bibby should've been brought back in but House and Jackson were playing really well. Miller is the other starter who could've helped, perhaps at the 4 since Skinner was getting valuable rebounds. I really liked the way BoJax, House, and Skinner played to close it out.
you go with who's playing the best what don't you understand. if the starters suck and the bench is playing awesome (15-0 run anybody???) whey the hell would you put the starters back in?? you would be rolling the dice and hoping that somehow, magically, the starters find their game. you stick with the sure thing, and that is the bench players playing well.
Basically if Adelman put in that starters and we lose, he gets blamed, and he leaves bench which we lost and he's blamed now. No matter what, he's going to get blamed just because the bench worked their butts off to get us close within the closing minutes. IT'S NOT ADELMAN'S FAULT people. Atleast the the fourth quarter. If you going to blame him for something, blame him for getting us down 26 in in the first place. But, I'm tired of this blaming thing. They are the Kings, they are a team, and even if they lost these two games, where is the credit they deserved for winning the 50 games in the season to get us here, to give us a chance to even be in the play-offs. I know a lot of other teams that would die to be in our positions.
The series is not over, lets stop being negetive, we don't need anymore of it. Kings are going to be at Arco for the next game, lets make them proud to be Kings, and feel good like we used to--to be King's fans.

man you need to get away from what WAS and understand what IS. the starters were not playing good, and the bench was. you can't expect for the starters to magically regain their shooting touch when they've been on the bench for a while. you go with who is hot, not someone who heasn't touched a ball in 10 minutes, and when they did, your team was down by 26. and those "game winners" have been borderline bad in the series, even though bibby was kinda showing life.
