... Bibs was so upset he went out and shot 2-for-7 and had one lonely assist. Way to shut people up, Mike. Meanwhile, his counterpart Rajon Rondo ate Bibby's lunch (12 points, 6-for-11, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals), leading the Boston crowd to chant "Where is Bibby?" and "Rondo's better!" ...

... Bibby for the second straight game (12 points, 6-for-11, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals). It got so bad that Atlanta coach Mike Woodson to replaced Bibby with bench monkey Acie Law IV. (And it should be noted that Law hit as many field goals in 21 minutes as Bibby has in Games 1 and 2.)

Heck, he even got hit with them on the bench. In addition to him simply being booed each time he touched the ball, the fans put together an array of verbalizations such as "Biiiibby," "Bibby Sucks," "Where is Bibby?," and the recently planned "Rondo’s Better" chant (see: video) to nettle his focus and confidence. He shot just two of seven from the floor, putting ...

Boston Bandwagon Fans Taunt Mike Bibby

... Jones of all people; in Bibby's case it was the Celtics' fans. In case it wasn't abundantly clear, that was a chant of "Rondo's better" that rained down from the Celtics' faithful.
