Last night, at Key Arena, a miracle occured. The Sonics, down by 7 with two minutes remaining in regulation, pulled out a comeback fired by Ray Allen, who scored a career-high 54 points *(second-most in Sonics history), and shot 8-12 from the 3-point line, his best this season. Nick Collison had another career night, and he continues to grab rebounds, left and right, offensive and defensive, to prevent opponents from ripping the Sonics out of a game by second-chance points. Collison: my salutes to you.
Allen: keep shooting.
Earl Watson: keep playing as smart as you are now, because you are valuable when you play smart.
Luke Ridnour: do as much as you can when you play.
Chris Wilcox: keep grabbing rebounds, and take Nick as an example to model yourself after.
Mickael Gelabale: continue to try hard, and prove that your hustle deserves a spot on the starting roster.
Wilks, Farmer, everybody else: develop, and be ready to jump into games when needed.
Let us hope that the Sonics can overcome their next opponent, the Cleveland Caveliers, and make up some ground on our 6-game homestand. This, hopefully, was the beginning of success for this stand.
