Wow, that sucks for them. Crazy to think that this injury will keep him out much longer than Dirk's ankle will keep him out. Ray will be back soon though, right?

AHEM. Ray Allen anybody? 28 points last night in his return! 5-6 from 3-point! He's making shots, he had 5 assists. He's passing. We'll be alright, but we would definitely be better off with both Ray and Rashard working together. Oh yeah, the "French rookie dude"? His name's Mickael Gelabale. He's just a rookie to the NBA, by the way. He was a veteran to his European league. Wilcox is doing well, yes. Ridnour, he's shooting more, and making more shots. Wilkins was doing a good job in Ray's spot, had a few 20 point games in Ray's absence. And what have you seen, anyway? The Sonics average more points than the Mavericks, if I can guess that's one of your favorite teams by your siggy. The Sonics average 100 points flat, and their opponents average 101.03 points. The reason you don't see many Sonics players on your PPG stat radar is because most of them didn't play very often until Ray got injured, when they all really stepped up. Wilkins is a fine example of that. He technically doesn't average even 10 points per game. But he averaged 13 points in Ray Allen's absence. The unsung heroes will pop up eventually. Now the Sonics know who can do what, because everybody's had a fair shot with Ray Allen gone. Now he's back, and now we know what we can do better.
