They can at least hang their hats on playing better on the road this game. I hate to say it, but it was Allen that lost this game for Seattle. They were down 5 in the fourth and looking to pull even. However, he missed 3 consecutive 3's, and before you know it, Manu was hitting 3's like a man possesed. I have been blessing the fact that Lewis has been out, however, Seattle could have used him tonight. They needed a slasher w/ a big dunk to rile the team, and that was noticeably missing.
Ok, ok, I've been dissing Manu as the greatest actor ever to play in the leaguge....which is true, however, he did hit some circus shots that impressed me. STILL, IN A REAL GAME OF BASKETBALL (NOT THE NBA), THERE IS NO WAY THIS GUY IS GOING TO THE FREE THROW LINE 17 TIMES!!!!
I expect Seattle to win hands down game 6. Let's hope Lews is back because I don't think they'll need him to win game 6, however, they will definitely need him in Game 7.
