There wasn'y any communication on defense the rotation were slow and the KINGS doubled the drivers too much even the ones who couldn't really create off the dribble.The Close outs were too late or not needed.As a result wide open looks were killing us down the stretch,Too be a championship Team we must win these games with no excuses if we loose.

The problem wasn't Evans' D. I mean, look who he's guarding. Baron Davis? He'll burn just about anyone in the league. The problem was when Davis would penetrate, he would draw the double and kick it out. From there, our molasses-like rotation would fail to cover the 3pt line giving someone a wide open shot.
He carved us up in the fourth, but for the most part, Evans did a decent job to stay in front of such a quick assignment.

I didn't say it was lost at the freethrow line. At least, I didn't mean my comment to be taken that way.
If I had to point to one thing that caused the loss, it would be the absence of Doug on the court for DEFENSE.
Everyone seems to be worried about Webber, Bibby, etc. People ought to start thinking of the world of hurt we're going to be in if we don't have Doug. It was painfully obvious that Mo can't fill his shoes ESPECIALLY on defense.

Perhaps if you dropped a little bit of the piksimism, you'd be able to enjoy just how much the Kings -- including, but not limited to, Mike Bibby (of whom you are so relentlessly critical) -- fight for the wins.
I, though disappointed with the outcome of the game, was completely thrilled to see Mike hit that three to tie the game after shooting so poorly from the field. It put a huge smile on my face. If you, as a Kings fan, weren't able to enjoy that moment, at least a little bit, I really feel sorry for you.

GoGoGadget, you make a good point. Too many fans (and I am not pointing fingers at anyone here) are so critical that they are not enjoying what the Kings offer. I may not like it when the Kings lose to a "lowly" team or to a favorite "nemesis", however, I refuse to be jaded by our few good years. The Kings are working on their 20th year in Sacramento (I got a cool anniversary T-Shirt when I was in Sac), and there were many more lean years (okay...they were crappy) than good ones (has it been 6 now?). When a King, like say Bibby, is having a rough game, it puts a smile on my face for them to accomplish a great feat. Bibby's dagger 3 was awesome (and way clutch). GOD, I LOVE THIS TEAM!
Sorry, but I think that a player of Bibby's caliber knows better than shooting 6-22. He has enough skills not to force the issue. Do not get me started about his defense last night. He might very well be the "most under screen going player" in the league when it comes to defending pick and roll.
To answer Your question I did not enjoy that moment. I was in shock from what I saw all game long.

ugh that was EMBARASSING!!!!!!!!!! man i listened to it while i was babysitting and i was SO ticked off the rest of the night!
but i nearly broke a table jumping up and down when bibby hit that 3
that was just awesome!
now the kings just need to take their frustrations out on the nuggets and pound them into saw dust!
