    I didn't see the whole game, only the last quarter and I didn't see Bibby shutting down SF.

    In fact I recall in the 4th Q a sequence where the Kings backed off SF giving him the wide open 17 footer which he proceeded to clank - there was a break in the action moments later and SF - bewildered - plopped down in one of the rockets seats shaking his head.

    The announcers actually pointed out during that sequence that the Kings were backing off him and challenging him to make the J.

    Not all sports anouncers know WTF they're talking out. Talking heads are not limited to just news they're all over the sports airwaves too.
