Don't say I didn't tell you so

O-Tag was huge in that game. As to why he gets pulled out after doing such a great job is beyond me. Obviously O-Tag was the only kings capable of stopping Shaq or penetrations, so what do we do? We take him out and let Miami come back from like 12 down with 4 minutes left.

But sure...we needed Brad in there. He did real good. Missing wide open jumpers left and right.

I swear, before that 2nd to last possession for the kings I was wondering who was going to shoot: Webber, Peja or Bibby. Peja had just hit that awesome three, so why not milk the hot hand. Then again, Bibby is clutch, so he's a good option. Or perhaps Webber...he's our main guy. But no...let's give it to the guy who's been ice cold for the entire 2nd half.

I'm not saying that O-Tag should start, but when he's the only guy that can guard Shaq and protect the hoop, why do you pull him out? Absolutely ridiculous. Kings should be ashamed

I think he may have been pulled because he can't hit a FT to save his life. At least Miller can hit from the line. Once the Heat got into the penalty situation, they could have easily done a Hack-a-Tag (or Tag, You're It) and taken their chances that he'd miss from the line, they'd get the ball and we'd have a lot of empty possessions.

Having said all that, I do have to admit that I was totally floored when Miller took that shot you're talking about. In fact, I screamed at the TV over it... I don't think they heard me.
