;D Right. Doc is talking to Tony Brown, saying "hey they look good together out there. Quick, lets get Gomes out there. We can't win this game!!"

One interesting development in this game (and I don't know if its on purpose) is we aren't foul-happy as we normally are. Normally, and this juncture of the game (halftime), we usually send teams to the line about 20 times. Tonight, we only sent them to the line 5 times.
Now either the Sonics are scoring very efficiently that our defense can't even foul them, or we are avoiding committing so many fouls each game.

Wally misses a jumper at the top of the key. Sonics rebound. Petro lays it in. Al fumbles and turns it over. Wilcox gets the pass under the basket and slams it home. Time out called with Sonics up 65 to 51. 5:06 left in the third. It was obvious that the starters weren't working in the first half. Doc used Telfair and Rondo along with Perk and Jefferson and Tony and that group was playing well together. Did Doc start the third with a group that was playing well? No... Wally is 4-10 already and Doc lets him just chuck away. Why does he pull the young guys when they miss or take a bad shot but yet Wally has been doing it over and over and he stays in. West isn't himself out there and Doc is going with him also.

Jefferson gets his "Big Al" spurt and is well on his way to another 20/10 game (with 7 minutes left, he's at 17/9).
Doc is giving Green some minutes now and he's starting to make things happen. Good for Doc. I guess old 'Docs' can learn new tricks ;D
He's chucking away from behind the arc a bit too much. He needs to take it to the hole and draw some fouls.

Wilkins hits a quick 3. Al misses a shot in the lane but gets his own rebound and draws the foul. They said he may have hurt himself but didn't show him or what happened as they were too busy showing a highlight of one of their plays. Time out was called with 5:36 left in the 4th and Sonics up 86-75
