This long lay off between games isn't good for the Sonics. This loss to the Suns was this team's toughest loss to date considering there was a nationwide audience, the game was at home, the Sonics were facing the only team in the league w/ a better record, and that the they pretty much dominated earlier in the game and let the game slip away. This type of break could lead to some dissension on the team considering that people's minutes have been cut b/c of some roster additions. This is the first time the Sonics have lost two out of their last three games at the Key and it is very important that we come out w/ a big performance on Wednesday. Nate's pushed almost all of the right buttons so far. Hopefully he's able to get his team focused on their upcoming games as opposed to mulling over Friday's loss.
This first quarter run was extraordinary. It was almoust perfect basketball. Everything went their way. All in all it was an entertaining game though the outcome was sad.
