<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Coach Bob Hill is not the only member of the Seattle SuperSonics who is going to have increased expectations and decreased patience for the team?s two young . All-Star guard Ray Allen on Tuesday said he and his teammates are not going to allow either Robert Swift or Johan Petro to settle for the mediocrity that sets in for many inexperienced players, particularly those with no college experience. At halftime of Sunday?s loss to the Chicago Bulls, Hill singled out Swift and Petro in the locker room for their lack of focus. Allen supported Hill?s stance before the Sonics held an open scrimmage at Hazen High School on Tuesday night. ?I think patience is going to be a lot shorter than it has been,? Allen said. ?You have a great player in Nick (Collison) sitting there who has shown a desire to want to be better. As you get older you can?t make mistakes, and coaches have a shorter temper. Not only Bob, but we reiterate what he says so they hear it from both sides. What Bob says, we are in the locker room or on the bus saying the same thing: ?I am not trying to be a jerk about this Johan or Swift, but these are the things that you need to do to help us win.? ?</div> Source
