I went to the game. Worst officiating I witnessed while actually attending a game. And Fortson is more of a thug when you can see him in person.

You had a five point lead in the fourth, and then the Sonics stroked three consecutive three's. I would not say that you just let us hit those shots - somebody had to make them. A five point lead with with more than a couple minutes to play is not a secure lead.

What surprised me is when Rashard missed two free throws with about 2:30 left. Missing free throws like that just opens the door for the other team. Down the stretch, neither team played very well offensively.

Jermaine was also missing big free throws.

Those 3's were good shots. Seattle is a good team and deserved to win tonight.

Plain and simple. And we don't deserve to win if we are going to just collapse on defense in the closing minutes.

I cringe every time I see players miss free throws in close games down the stretch. A player and his team can play a great game but then lose it in the last couple of minutes by missing a couple of clutch free throws. Just think of all the games that you have seen that the trailing team resorted to fouling the leading team to send a player to the line, hoping that he might miss one or both free throws. Having players that consistently make those free throws is like having "win insurance" that helps your team to hold onto a lead.

Besides that first Rashard 3, the shots were pretty wide open. Our defense was horrible.

Its kinda ironic that it was the three consecutive three's that turned the game around. Prior to that point, the Sonics had not been lauching three's at their usual pace. They only attempted 13 for the whole game.

The final two minutes was kinda hectic. Both teams had scoring opportunities but neither team seemed to capitalize on those opportunities. I was listening to the game on the radio, so I was unable to witness how both teams performed defensively during that stretch.

What irked me the most was that Radmonovich, a Euro, played an important role in the Sonics' victory.
