Will IMO determine whether or not we are for real this season, or if it is just set up for another collapse. There is no shame in losing to the Suns. However, the way in which we lost will play on the players' minds, no doubt about that. We choked, no other way to put it, and with only one game before Christmas, this could potentially be a critical part of the season. If we can come out, put the Suns game out of our minds and beat the Nuggets on Wednesday, we go into Christmas with everything back on track and the confidence of another bounce back victory. If we lose however, then it may be a different story. Crucial game against Denver on the 23rd, people in the Seattle area should get along to it and make some noise.
I think this team will be fine as long as they all continue to play their individual roles. I think people play into individual games too much.I dont believe a successful team ever loses its confidence no matter how ugly the loss.Im sure seattle will go into the next game as hungry and will be as scary to play against as usual
Sonics will be fine. They have beaten most of the west elite....unless they have serious injuries i'm sure they will be tough the whole season.
