And the stone still rolls downhill...

Hope falling, players failing, the Sonics are simply being dominated in the paint by opponents. Lack of rebounds, lack of defense. Eddie Curry last night just scored 27 points on 9-9 shooting in the paint. No misses. He also went to the free throw line often (due to the lack of good defense) and made 9 of 12 from there. Sonics total rebounds: 43 (total includes team rebounds). Knicks total: 53. 10 rebounds makes a nice big difference in the game. Especially offensive rebounds, which lead to second chances, and points that shouldn't be scored. If the Sonics are going to get anywhere this year, and dig themselves out of this ditch, they're gonna need to get big, jump high, and bring that thing down! Otherwise, these losses are just gonna keep piling up.
