Yea, Bibby doesn't show any passion. He's going be the one they're going to ship out, make it completely Peja's team.


Bibby does basketball at home, enough said.

Well, whatever he does at home he should do it differently from the last game especially the 3rd quarter.

BTW it is very obvious that he should send 1/3 of his pay check to Philladelphia

It's quite obvious that you're willing to defend Peja at the expense of attacking Bibby.

Who was setting Peja up with all those open looks again in the 1st quarter?

Who's been the main focus of other defenses?

Who's hit clutch shot after clutch shot during the regular season and in the playoffs when everyone (especially Peja and Webber) were afraid to take it?

Who actually strives to get better and doesn't disappear in the 4th??

You are doing it other way around

To 1 - it was Bibby with Miller

To 2 - Pedja and Bibby

To 3 - Bibby has hit big shots and he has missed big shots and free throws. His PO performances have to be tied with Webber being here. In 2 series without Webber (Dallas 2003 and this) Bibby is just a half of a player he is with Webber.

To 4 - see #3. Judging on 2 series without Webber - Bibby did not do much overall. As much as I remember he was 0-7 in the 4th and missed 3 FTs in the 4th of the last game, not to mention the first game or the series against the Dallas in 2003.

Mike Bibby is very talented offensive player. He is great in hitting "good shots"
Since Webber is gone - he is not getting too many of those hence his numbers are down. While his "courage" is very admirable - his "decision making" is a suspect. I also assume that "striving to get better" should involve the defensive end also
 
well i decided that i would watch tonights game, since it will probably be the last kings game i can watch this year, unless some miracle happens. based on the heart the starters have shown most of this series, i doubt that miracle is going to happen.

if things go bad, i'm putting phantom on.

How does one lose 19 pts lead in such an important game? Not that difficult at all especially considering that the lead was fake. It was not build on good basketball but on hitting tons of bad shots. In the second half - bad shots stopped falling, yet we continued to take them. We made some "retarded" turnovers, missed free throws and let a guy score 45 pts. So apparently losing 19 pts lead for this Kings team is very simple.

Must not have been watching the same game I was. That 19 point lead was NOT fake. The ball movement in the first half was incredible!!! In the second half there was too much one on one and as usual the Kings get beat.

It should be noted that Bibby was bothered by an injury in '03. The whole team has adjusted on the fly. The first time they all played together was the start of the playoffs. Bibby has been caught in the middle, as the new leader of the team responsible for everything. He now has to create his own shots and create for everyone else on an offense that clearly lacks chemistry.

I've seen Bibby hit more clutch shots this season than Peja will hit his whole career. I know Bibby will never be afraid to take a big shot, Peja will probably never take one. Both players are know for their offense, they will never be known for defense. Peja gets credit for staying in front of a struggling Lewis, but he still hardly gets any blocks or rebounds. Bibby is a bad lateral defender, but he does seem to get timely steals.

21 pts in the 1st, 6 in the 3rd, 0 in the 4th. That speaks for itself. He had it going, then he wussed out like he always does. Bibby doesn't play like that, he is the Kings best player, the best player to build around.

Peja, don't let the door hit ya in the *** on the way out!

I can't believe we are living and dying with cuttino mobley and kenny freakin' thomas. Has is come to this?
 
i agree with ya piksi.

yah so i'm a softie, i'm just about at my limit here. i don't know how much of this i can take.
 
Right now I'm just wishing it was over but maybe RA can put in the "fourth quarter bench" in the second to bring us back.
 
Sonics starting red hot --- 7 for 10 from the floor, but the Kings hanging in there at this point. Miller to the line for two to cut the lead to 5.
