Wait… I know Game 2 against the Spurs sucked. There was no way the Kings should've lost that game, but they did.

But wow. It was apparently Rick Adelman's Grady Little moment? From Sam Amick:

I can't say I disagree with this – that play was very emblematic of Adelman's Kings: star players not being held responsible for lapses on defense. Adelman has always gotten more angry when someone doesn't shoot when they have an open look than when someone loses their man on defense.

But does this mean Mike Bibby is next? I mean, is any coach going to change his ways at this point? The guy is a few days short of 28 years old, and he's been in the league since 1999. I doubt he's going to become a responsible defensive player overnight.

So will the Maloofs shop Bibby? If they really are in it for defense, I wouldn't put it past them.

But wait, there's more:

(Emphasis mine.) Wait – they wanted more Jason Hart? And there were rooting for the Kings, right? Right?

I agree on Shareef and Garcia – Abdur-Rahim got taken advantage of by Kenny Thomas, and Adelman facilitated that by cow-towing to K-9. And Frankie Go was playing fantastic until he hurt his ankle, and he never got a chance after that.

I don't know. All of this adds up to:

The regular rumor mill sites don't have anything we haven't heard – P.J. Carlesimo might figure into this, Terry Porter is a possibility, everyone loves Eddie Jordan. Again, mixing Carlesimo – who got choked out by Latrell Sprewell – with Ron Artest might not be a good idea. Eddie Jordan is not exactly a paragon of defensive virtue. And Terry Porter might be looking to purchase the Portland franchise or might be looking to join Flip Saunders's coaching staff.I won't cry over Adelmania's end, but I might cry over the Maloof's choice.The uncertainty is unsettling.
