This was bad... Anyone else notice how they keep showing Denham Brown's name when they're showing Andre Brown's highlights?
Not long, unless Bennett is willing to take the hit for this season so he has a better chance of moving the Sonics.
It's pretty bad when you get out coached by Isiah Thomas. Isiah's strategy was to double team Ray Allen wherever he got the basketball. Instead of running Ray off of a ton of screens to get him to the point where if he caught the ball he would have space to avoid a double team they consistently gave Ray the ball in spots where he would get doubled and wouldn't put someone in the middle of the court (whoever man would leave Ray) to exploit the fact that they could play 4 on 3 when they got the ball. It is a miracle that Bob has been able to keep his job. How ironic would it be to fire Bob Hill and bring Weiss out of the booth to replace him? My hope is that b/c this season isn't lossed yet they could fire him and let Chiesa finish the season as head coach at his current salary. Give Hill a taste of his own medicine and give a life long assistant an opportunity to show his worth as a head coach. The players seem to respect him. If not Chiesa then Ralph Lewis b/c I like him.
I agree with having Chiesa at head coach. No doubt that the players respect him much more than Hill. Gordie shows more emotion on the bench as well. He's always up out of his seat and yelling out instructions. He deserves a chance. Hill needs to be fired soon. But I'm not sure that's going to happen.
That many years under Sloan and you would think he'd have something to offer in a head coaching capacity.
"We want Jerome!" I found that ironic, considering he was getting booed in the first. Anyway, I'm guessing this was a bad night for the Sonics. The interior is especially lacking as Eddy Curry easily manhandled anyone the Sonics threw at him. There's no way they will be able to survive in the West with an interior that soft.
I am surprised no one tried the tactic of calling Curry mean names, as he would have surely curled up in a ball and cried.
Another loss to the Warriors tonight....I didn't watch the game because I was too into the Seahawks game. Guess I didn't miss much.
Luke was taken out of the starting lineup, which is a joke considering he's been the Sonics's second best player this year after Rashard.
Sad as hell. I can barely watch them anymore, it's just a horrid product all the way around - from the team on the floor to the dry sandwiches and day old cookies they hand out at the Courtside Club. BTW isn't it about time to trade Ray Allen? We're not going anywhere and it's obvious even with Rashard back he's not going to take this team to the next level. I'm just really tired of watching him dancing out there with the ball 25ft from the basket looking for a screen, not to blame him completely but it's just bad basketball to watch. And if it's possible I think his defense has gotten worse this year. Surely there's some team out there who's closer than we are that could use a shooter...

Btw, the Ray Allen banner looks better than the Ridnour one.

Ray's contract and age make him nearly impossible to trade, as the only teams who really need him don't have anything to offer in return except for expiring contracts and draft picks (Miami, Minnesota). The only possible partner right now is probably Charlotte, and I doubt they want anything to do with Ray unless Vince Carter is off the market.
