The Game That Shall Forever Be Known As "The Ronnie Price Game"

I don't want to write too much about the game right now, mostly because I didn't see stretches of it and I plan on watching it this morning. But I do present the following, which shows you what each player's Game Score would've been had they played 40 minutes (and theoretically kept their play up):

Player GS/40
Cisco 7.3
Reef 5.1
B-rad 11.2
Kevin 7.3
Bibby 14.0
Nasty 21.3
Hart 0.0
Kenny 6.9
Price 16.7

So yeah. There you go. I was hoping for a little more from KMart, and Reef had his worst game since in a long time. But still. It was so ugly in the first quarter that to lose by less than 40 was a feat in itself.

Oh, and uh Jason Hart? I'm sorry, but uh you have been dismissed. Ouch.

Concrete Feet

Dirk went around Miller like he was a statue. Not just once, not just twice but time after time. Miller is just not quick enough to defend many of the more atheletic big men in this league. Terry was doing pretty much the same thing to Bibby earlier in the game. The Kings are a very slow footed team.

I agree...

Brad should never be guarding a guy like Dirk.

Well Then

If it was that apparent, why didn't we see Skinner at least get a shot at guarding Dirk? Another Adelman oversight?

Yeah

I was puzzled that just about everyone in the frontcourt but Skinner got run. Does Adelman forget how useful #54 was in the preseason?

One Track Mind

Adelman seems to focus on just one course of action irrespective of what else is going on. He gets set in his mind what he is going to do and nothing seems to be able to sway him. Obviously, Miller was not getting the job done, but Adelman seem to be thinking Miller is my starter and he has to guard Dirk and that is all there is to it regardless of the outcome. Any other coach would have said whoa, this isn't working. Who else do I have that might get the job done? You see this with Bibby quite frequently also.
