Kings. Better defense and more experience.

Bibby-Martin-Artest for me. The Kings are 7-3 in the past 10 and I think could shock teams like Denver and Houston when the playoffs come around.

Go Kings!

Bibby > Hinrich
Martin > Gordon
Artest > Deng, in some years Deng will be better, but not now.

Kings

2 former All-Stars (I think Bibby has been) and a future All-Star in Kevin Martin.

Kings

They have played better basketball this year and are a surprise team with the way they are playing and staying competitive.

Bibby was never an All-Star. Although he should be. But there are too many better guards in the West.

I really do like the Bulls core...I truly believe that they are having a rough year.

But yeah. Kings all day. :)

:roll:
They're going to have to play .700 ball the rest of the way to have a prayer of getting into the playoffs. And Houston will have to make the playoffs to be chocked by SAC, which doesnt make any sense anyways as both would be low seeds.

All-star games don't validate players though. Its a first half on the season award. Bibby has played at an All-Star level for many years. You can't denied that

Nor has Hedo Turkoglu or Marcus Camby though.

Which they HAVE done since they got healthy...I'm not saying they're going to keep up a .700 pace, but I certainly do think they could play .600-.650 ball the rest of the way and squeeze into the playoffs a la 2005-2006 season when they traded for Artest. They played at that level for the final 25-30 games that season, and this team is better than that team.

Actually, I think its

Hinrich > Bibby
Martin > Gordon
Artest > Deng


Bibby is highly overrated. He plays no defense, he's an average playmaker and his shooting percentage has dropped in each of the last 5 seasons (2002-03: 47.0%; 2003-04: 45.0%; 2004-05: 44.3%; 2005-06:
43.2%; 2006-07: 40.4%; 2007-08: 39.5%)

His defense isn't that bad although he is not as good as Hinrich.

Don't act like Hinrich is a better playmaker though. Bibby is a lot better. Assist numbers aren't that important with the offensive the Kings run.

Bibby's coming back from injury to his wrists so he's not shooting well, yet you don't bring up how pathetic Hinrich's shooting?
