CWebb did have a horrible game last night. Poor shot selection and didn't defend. I think he has a bad habit of thinking he can shoot his way back to the game after missing a couple of mid-range J's. But fact is, he is not a shooter like Peja, Bibby, and Bobby are and once his first few J's aren't falling he always keep missing all similar shots the rest of the game no matter how hard he tries. He gotta drive in, try to power in, or hook it in, and find other ways to score. Every single time, when he take that 17-footer, he misses, and the other team get the RB. And he always takes it with NO teammates underneath for the RB, aka poor shot slection. He has to get rid of this "keep taking even missing long J's until I shoot my way back" mentality. By the time he finally makes one, the Kigns are already in a deep hole. He needs to face it, his jumpshots are no where close to how sharp they were before his injury and therefore he has to attack in other ways.

And yes, this team overall has not played as well as they did like last year. Even in the W's, several times they barely beat the other team on the points scored but lost the Rb, TO and FT battles, and that's not the way a dominant team plays. Blame it on injuries all you want, the Kings are still underachieveing in my opinion, not just record-wise, but also play-wise.
They definitely can play much better than they have been all season long and blowing out every team in the league, at home or on the road.

Grant Napear is right, it is a mental thing, it is the lack of sense of urgency. Playoffs is right around the corner and homecourt advantage is still very important to the Kings in the 2nd and 3rd round. They have to pick it up now or never. There is no excuse now. If they keep on playing at the level they have been playing, which is not their top level, they are not gonna win the championship.
