BIBBY DID NOT LOSE THE GAME FOR US. When you only lose by 5, unles nobody missed a shot, it was a TEAM. There is no denying that he did not do much to help us tonight. Hoever, the last time I checked, basketball was listed as a TEAM sport. You win as a team and lose as a team. I am excited to see the game Tuesday. I really believe that our TEAM will win it!
I am NOT talking about you.
What I am talking about is the people who never seem to post when things go well or when their favorite player does bad but cannot wait to start a thread pointing the finger when one of the other guys do poorly.
It was a TEAM loss, just like they are team wins.
For the record? Bibby may have had a horrible offensive night but he completely and totally shut down the young Luke. Basically, Bibby just made Ridnour play "Who's your daddy"...
Objective criticisms, etc. are one thing but threads that are started solely to point the finger of accusation at one player on the Kings just aren't what this board has ever been about. CRITICISM, good. FINGER POINTING, not good.

Pedja only shot the ball 3 times made one and miss 2. Although he made his presence felt on the defensive end. He did a great job guarding Ray Allen. He needs to be more aggressive in the 4th. It seems to me that he let other people take over the 4th quarter instead of demanding the ball himself

Coaching mistake - not Bibby's
Hmmm....I was wondering why, when Bibby was obviously having a very off night, BJax and House (both excellent three point shooters and probably better defenders than Bibby) were riding the bench in the fourth quarter. I think this one is Adelman's fault. He just left Bibby out there to keep struggling when we had better options (this night) available.

Did you watch the game? Bobby was having a pretty non-productive night. House didn't do anything in his limited time AND he was much worse at guarding the Sonics. Bibby may not have scored but he bottled the young Ridnour up pretty completely.
Adelman tried the other options and they weren't any more effective. In fact, Bobby was playing one-on-one almost without let-up and that wasn't going to be helpful at all.
It wasn't a coaching mistake.

Bibby:
I missed shots. I missed shots....
Darius:
I don't think Bobby and Mike are going to have another night like that. It's just not possible.
Brian:
We just dug ourselves too big a hole to get out of.
Peja:
The first game is learning about each other. We're going to make adjustments. Obviously, they're going to make adjustments too but we have to do better on the defensive end.
Tag also said something, but I couldn't catch it.
Bibby looked shell-shocked.

I really hope he doesn't lose his confidence. He has never striked me as s guy who is unsure of his ability and we know he's not scared to have the ball in his hand during crunch time, but he looked completely despondent out there. I don't think I have ever seen him look so down about having a bad game before.
Don't stress about it Mike...we still believe in you!

Bibby's been in something of a shooting slump for awhile now compared to what we're used to seeing from him. I really believe that the ankle is a problem. But Mike will never say so. He thinks that admitting something like that would give his opponents an advantage and I agree. Mike didn't do all that well in the 2003 playoffs. It wasn't until late in the summer that he admitted his foot had hurt all year (the one he broke that kept him on the bench early in the season).
I'm hoping like heck I'm wrong and it's just a slump he'll pull out of, but that ankle does make me worry. I believe in Mike's heart and desire. He's one of the last people I'd ever doubt about that.
