The Kings choked throughout the series, except Bibby.
And the free throw shooting was a joke (Kings shot like 55% as a team).
Game 6 was embarrasing, Lakers with 28 free throws in the fourth quarter (that's more than 2 attempts per minute) to the Kings 9 attempts.
I am a big Blazer fan, and I think Rick Adelman is a great coach, but some of his decisions were a bit questionable.
Why was Bobby Jackson not in through most of the 4 quarter?
Why was Chris Webber gaurding Shaq down the stretch?

I dont nkow whay Jackson was on the bench,,,he really was playing well...I think the lack of organization in the offense did them in..I think some minds develop a more systematic approach which is easier to produce under pressure..like Pat Riley and Jackson. Some coaches rely too much on a players talent, without working a system to exploit it. Those are the abstract things that make you better. harnessing talent! Adelman had plenty of Talent in Portland as well, and they were pretty inconsistent...

..flat out kings shoulda won that series in 5 games...problem is they are mental cases....no leaders...no go to guy just like portland....no one wants the ball on that team when the games on the line

cwebb is a wuss...only thing he's good for is making faces and posturing...and looking like he's gonna cry when the games lost...he hit several key late game shots during the series but also spent alot of time passing the ball away instead trying to be the leader he's supposed to be

next yr things could very well be reversed...the lakers will need to make some changes for next yr and sacramento should continue to get stronger

i feel sorry for the nets though....playing poorly or not the lakers will wipe up with them like they did philly last yr

Lakers just need another Byron Scott...or, start making their players cut to the hoop...I think people in the west are starting to wise up to teh triangle offense a bit, and they have no real reliable outside shooter (except Kobe). When Fox was doing the last game,,,it made the difference.Here is where teh coaching staff has to make sure some players stick to some plays devised for them,,,because teams always leave some guys open because of the shaq-Kobe worry!
