This loss is squarely on the shoulders of RA. Why is it that everyone on this board could see that Peja needed a rest but RA couldn't?
I don't know how much rest Peja got, but he left the game at the end of the 3rd quarter, and came back in at the beginning of the 4th. If he's not going to make any shots after he plays 35+ minutes, though, that's just not going to get it done.
I do like his effort tonight in the 4th. He realized his shot wasn't on, so he made some effort to get to the basket and draw some fouls, and he did so. But no one else on the Kings really picked up the offense, either. Bibby hasn't done much in the 4th.
Lewis misses a three, but can't keep Jerome off the o-board.
