Wheres the two-man game in the fourth quarter?
My nephew pointed this out when we attended a game in November. I remember the good year under Nate and we were very successful having Rashard and Allen use the two-man game to close out games. Having Allen dribble, dribble and try to create his own shot doesn’t work often enough. Yeah, I’m frustrated and we desperately need to win out to get people excited. I did a ton of research about the late-game struggles. We will be publishing it tomorrow at SUPERSONICS.COM. We have lost 18 games by six or less. Surprisingly, we have shot 8-of-18 in the final 10 seconds of games, which is really pretty good. I talked to Nate the other night and asked him where he went with the ball in late games when he was the coach of the Sonics. He said that he ran the initial play through Rashard and then let it develop out of that. Some scouts believe Ray is a better shooter than scorer. Therefore, if you can get him the shot out of the offense you are better off than getting him a shot off his own dribble.
