I'm talking about "sucks" from my perspective --- CWebb is doing horrible as a Sixer, I'd agree. Makes some of his last performances as a King look rosy. Frustrating for me as a fan.
Frustrating also to see the Kings lose to the Bobcats (albeit shorthanded) and then the Magic (albeit as Peja's first game back). Doing well enough to stay in 5th, but not well enough to move up to 4th at this point, and starting off the playoffs on the road against the Mavs is not the best place to start, imho.
And you're right...I guess it's alright to take solace in the fact that the Kings *merely* got outplayed.

Did I make any mention of offense being the reason that the Kings lost? Nope. Just pointing out that even with CWebb, ballhog and offense clogger, gone Peja only got 12 shots. I'm expecting AV to jump all over this to show some consistency. Not ripping either Bibby or Peja.
Truth be told, I could care less who gets all the shots, as long as the player taking them is making them. I'd have much preferred to see Peja get a few more shots since he was shooting so well, but since I couldn't watch the game I've no idea if he had the opportunities. I also recognize that his 11 free throws point to 4 or 5 more shots that he would have had were it not for the fouls.

46 points in the paint is not doing great. Yest their collective offense is nice but he now havea welcom mat under the hoop. This trade was never intended to make the Kings better THIS season and folks that want to argue it did have an agenda. Those of us that are tying to be fair simply hope it improved the bench enough to make the over all team competitive despite injuries, lets be honest the trade was about trade flexablity in the off season.
Agree. Check out 82games.com's Roland Ratings

Miller is number 3 on the list of 50. That means he is the most critical factor in the success of the team. Peja is next at number 26. Getting them back together on the court is going to make a big difference. They would have won with Miller tonight.

Actually, I don't remember missing a clutch shot this season, or ever since the playoffs against the Wolves. He got enough credit in that department, so the reactions probably wouldn't be that bad... it's the horrible shooting nights when he just keeps jacking up more and more shots that drove people insane.
I keep seeing guys waltz down the lane UNCONTESTED! Someone needs to rotate. I keep seeing the other team get rebounds on MISSED FREE THROWS! Someone needs to box out. I see Howard having a career huge night against us doing what ever he wants inside and it's not cause guys are having to help... CAUSE THEY AREN"T HELPING! Our D sucks inside and out period.
