Re: Collison Starts and PRODUCES! Nick Collison finally got to start after awhile and drops a Career best 29 points and 21 rebounds against the Suns, along with 3 steals 1 block and 4 assists. These are Gasol Numbers. Ray Allen contributed with 25 points and 9 assists and only 1 turnover but poor 3 point shooting, shooting 3 of 11 from behind the arc. Watson also started over Ridnour handing out 9 assists as well with only 2 turnovers. Sonics Also outrebounded the Suns Suprisingly 45-42.I am very impressed that he scored this much and already knew he was a good rebounder. If Collison can keep this up as a starter and Rashard comes back they can possibly show some life in the second half of the season. I hope collison can keep this up and wilcox steps his game up as well because they could posibbly have a serious starting lineup to compete with. We will see the next few games. Only if I got to SEE these games. I'm looking for people who actually get to see collison play give some feedback. -Thanks
Re: Collison Starts and PRODUCES! You should have seen his game tonight against Miami, as well. Just as good. The main thing is that he's giving it 110% out there, and I saw one play where he kept a play alive by challenging for the offensive rebound, got it, got doubled on the baseline, looked around quick, and threw it to Wilcox, who had a 5-foot open lane to the basket, and finished with one of those crowd-roaring dunks. He's really trying out there, and I expect he will get much more playing time for his efforts. I watched his game tonight against the Heat. He fouled out, but his last foul was controversial, because he was going for a loose rebound on the ground with somebody side-by-side and got tied up and got blamed.
Re: Collison Starts and PRODUCES! I have always been a fan of Nick Collison, I think he's a good player who often gets overlooked. 29 and 21 are incredible numbers to be putting up. I hope that he can continue to play well as a starter and get Seattle a few victories.
