Sonics unable to stop the new beast
Sonics lost
The Game
New Jersey Nets win their premiere against The Seattle Supersonics. Sonics weren’t able to defend the superb trio Vince Carter 29 points, Jason Kidd 20 points, 7 assists, Richard Jefferson 16 points. Carter was shooting like wild. Andrew couldn`t rebound at all Kristic was dominant in the paint. Strange, but Latrell Sprewell got the most rebounds. The most important reasons why did Sonics lost is that they were tanking too many worthless shots. 7 of 27 three-pointers. Wade was able to score only 16 points, Radmanovic scored 21. In the last quarter Wade too a shot for a 1 point lead, but it wasn`t the end. Scott Padgett was the hero who took the mid-range shot and took the lead. Then Sonics had 6.7 secs, but Paul missed the lay-up and Bogut wasn`t able to rebound it.
Steve Kerr was able to give some questions to Sonics head coach Bob Weiss:
Steve Kerr: Hello Mr.Weiss, why did your team took so many shots?
Bob Weiss: Because they couldn’t run the plays.
Steve Kerr: What happened with the rebounds?
Bob Weiss: I don`t know maybe their power wasn`t enough.
Steve Kerr: What was the main reason that you lost?
Bob Weiss: Everything was going bad, I can`t say what was the worst.
Steve Kerr: Are you going to take some serious actions after this game?
Bob Weiss: Yes, I will talk with our GM and the team owner, I want some changes…
Steve Kerr: Thank you Mr.Weiss.
