Mike Bibby moves past poor first round

"Heat guard Mike Bibby gets right to the point.

He played poorly in the first round against the Philadelphia 76ers. He admits it.

Now, it's time to move on. The Heat will need more from Bibby if there is any chance of getting past the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

"I didn't really do anything," Bibby said. "Like I said, my comfort and confidence level wasn't really there. I felt pretty good, I was just missing shots. That's not going to go on forever, and I know that. The main thing is I can't stop being aggressive."

Bibby averaged just 3.2 points and 0.8 assists in the first round. The most damaging stat was his 21 percent field-goal shooting. He missed several open looks, with the 76ers putting most of their focus on stopping LeBron James and Dwyane Wade on the perimeter.

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra grew so frustrated he started Mario Chalmers the second half of Game 5 against the Sixers. Despite the struggles, Bibby will remain in the starting lineup. He moved into that role in early April when Chalmers was sidelined with a sprained knee."
