Yea, your absolute right, Bibby cost us the game. The Kings TEAM shot a horrible 38% and their free throw % was 60. Yes, it was Bibby's fault. Why don't you blame Kenny Thomas. He missed HALF his free throws. Why don't you blame Bjax because he was 0-7. Had he made a few shots, the Kings would have won.BullKing said:
Sorry, the Kings lost this game as a TEAM. Yes, I would agree, Bibby last shot was terrible, however, if I had to chose a player to shot a clutch shot, it would still be Bibby.

How great was Brad!!!!????!!!????!!!
Ah, they just said the Kings are coming home immediately because there's a U2 concert in Key Arena the next two days. I mentioned it in the PBP, but in case you didn't hear it - Grant predicted that Bibby will head straight to the practice facility and shoot buckets until dawn.
I would have loved a win, of course, but this was just the first game - and it's a seven-game series. I think the Kings and RA learned a lot about what they have available and I think they learned a lot about the Sonics. I'm more optimistic right now than I've been in quite a while.

The reason we giving up alot on the glass is due dribble penetration of thier guards.

I would agree, Bibby was not himself, however, he will come back next game. The one thing that bothers me is the Kings are so slow at the start of the games, and then they play catch up throughout the whole game.AleksandarN said:

I'm optomistic too. Hopefully Adleman will realize O-Tag had impact on the game. Bibby won't do that again. Kenny Thomas will probably hit his normal 15 points on 45% shooting. Brad is going to be coming back better. Bobby will hopefully get better.
There's a lot of brightside in this loss, actually.

Mobley should have taken it to the rack before Mike hoisted his. The whole last possession was bad. Yeah Kenny missed FT's but we wouldn't have had a chance if AD doesn't miss his 2. I liked our effort. Mike will be back if not his jumper the passing will improve. WE have a good shot in game #2!

Can't lay it all on Mike's shoulders. Kenny wasn't making shots either and unfortunately, Skinner wasn't as effective as he usually is. Start Tag at center and Brad as P.Forward.
I still think we can win it all the way!!!!

Its 6 weeks after the break, his leg better NOT still be broken!!! Other wise something is seriously wrong. He even had great calcium growth or something.

Pedja played good defense again. One of the things over looked about his game. He getting better every year on the defensive end. He pretty much shut down Ray Allen in the 4 th when Rick switched Pedja on him

Not to be contrary but I have not seen an effective Skinner in the past 5 games. Not sure what the problem is injuries or jsut out sized when he has to play against the big boys. Would like to see him play at the 4 with Brad at the 5 but RA can't really have he and Tag on the floor at the same time... just no offense there.Bibbylicious said:

yes you're right. everybody rips him for his soft euro defense, but he's an average defender now, nothing more or less.

I don't think it is overlooked. Pedja's job is pretty much to be efficient scorer while the game is in flow and once the game is in clutch (and it requires players to improvise on their own) - Pedja's focus/presence is felt on defense. In that respect we have very balanced clutch scoring and clutch defense.

I think it may be a combination of several factors - first, both thumbs were pretty badly sprained. Second, he was riding a natural high until he was injured, because of all the excitement of the trade, coming to the Kings, getting major minutes. etc. That adrenalin rush is probably really hard to get back once you've had to sit out because of injuries. Third, he was able to do the impossible for a while and I think Kings fans may have put the bar up a little too high for him in ongoing situations.
I really think you make a good point about him being out-sized when he's playing against big guys. And that was - all along - one of the concerns we had about him. I, too, would like to see him at the 4 with Brad ... and I suspect it might actually happen.

I aggree I was thinking about that the other day. Skinner would work well with Brad from a defensive stand point.
