Its still not too late to wind up with a better draft pick especially after we get killed by the Heat!

they really needed to win this one if they were gonna make the playoffs with philly, orlando and maybe the pacers losing!

Why can't this team shoot straight?? The sonics are not exactly known as a defensive lockdown team!!

Knicks is not too good when Marburry doesn't have more than 10 assists.. Tonight, once again 5 asp proved not to be enough to beat a good team like Seattle....I am sorry folks, it has been proven over and over again,,,Marburry and others have to do their best to get other guys going....

Can someone explain to me what happened? I didn't see the game, but I listened to it on the radio....

Someone said before that we don't play well against teams with dominant front lines, because our front line is weak defensively, and that we would do much better against perimeter teams... well now we get abused by a perimeter team while getting zilch from our backcourt

Then we get a two power forwards through trades and Sweetney and Taylor are supposed to be our 'low post presence' to draw doubles and to get our backcourt easy shots. Neither of these guys were utilized today.

WHAT IS GOING ON!!???????

atrocious coaching decisions and substitions!! why does a lineup of Jackson, Penny, Ariza, JYD, Taylor have to start the 4th quarter only to blow the lead we held the entire game!!!!!
and no shotblocker! and kurt thomas standing around watching people go in for easy dunks!

i agree with whoever said the lineup change may have played a part in it. I think the Sonics got rejuvenated on the Rashard Lewis block and then again on the Tim Thomas blown dunk

The Knicks played good but someone had to win.

he picked up 4 fouls all in the 3rd quarter. but Herb still should've put him back in during the 4th over taylor/rose!

Indy also lost!!!

the only way we can possibly make up for this is by beating Miami and that really isn't going to happen

EVERY minute mo taylor is out there, sweetney is not.
EVERY minute penny is out there, ariza is not.

it gets frustrating after awhile b/c those two NEED to be...

If you guys want to blame anything for losing this game, blame all of those shots right under the basket we missed. We just couldn't convert on them.
Tuesday night vs. Miami, we start the new win streak.

Herb should have started the starters in the fourth. He never did what he did tonight (starting the subs) at the beginning of a fourth quarter that I can remember. Also, Malik Rose had a bad game. And Penny played way too much. Ariza should be getting Penny's minutes.
We could be the Dallas Mavs of the East.

can't say anything bad about herb. he's learning on the fly. DESPITE the rotation that he put in for the first 5 or so minutes of the 4th, the game was still tied.
