The game was lost due to bad coaching. Rick was afraid to make a subsititution when it was clear that Artest and Bibby were having a off night. Please don't say that hindsight is 20/20. I was the one who kept posting let SAR play when Bibby was shooting 3/10 and Artest was shooting 2/11. Rick didn't let SAR play until Artest went 3/17 by then the warriors already made a big run (up 15) and in control of the game. As soon as Rick put in SAR, the Kings began climbing back into the game. Then Rick made another mistake at the end by letting Mike take careless 3pts shots with lots time left on the shot clock instead of demanding Mike to feed SAR down low.

What? Bibby played well in the end of the fourth. What I still question was the fact that

1.Shareef sat more than half the third quarter...

2.Miller came in for Thomas in the fourth quarter, and immediately the offensive rebounds piled in... And Brad failed to box out or grab the rebound on 2 CRUCIAL plays, leading to a 4 point play after the Kings had tied it, and completely destroying the Kings momentum. Brad is in for his offense, plain and simple. And he sure didn't have it tonight, and he wasn't looking to do anything but lug around. So why put him in? The Warriors are an athletic team, that can offensive rebound, and you put Brad Miller in? And take out Kenny Thomas? Our only rebounder? You gotta be kidding me!

Perhaps an embarrasing loss at HOME will wake them up? I'm not sure hitting each of them over the head with a frying pan would do the trick, but I've got a nice non-stick Farberware waiting to be smacked over Brad Miller's head if need be...

Lots of time left for this to all go down the toilet...they can either get their act together or watch the playoffs from home, simple as that. Hopefully they've had enough reminders of that at this point. I really don't know anymore.

Partly true, the players should have been recognizing this as well, but Adelman should've taken a timeout to feed SAR down in the post. Alas, no timeouts from Adelman or substitutions for Hart, who has, I hate to say it, no future with this team.

They being the main ball distributors of the Kings team should have gotten other teammates into the game instead of jacking up most of the shots themselves. Rick is just not a very demanding coach. A strong coach would have pull those two to the sideline and let them know that their main job is to catalyst the offense and not be the only offense on this team.

WHO would RA have put in for them? No Bonzi, no Martin. Options were very limited.

NOBODY (other than SAR) was having a very good night.

check my original posts. I have posted like 6 or 7 times asking for SAR before Rick finally made the subsitituion. If Rick put in SAR earlier, then Artest probably wouldn't have took as many shots (and missed them) and the Kings wouldn't have to spend so much energy in trying to comeback from a deep hole.
