Sonics | Sonics' Watson can't quiet doubters | Seattle Times

SEATTLE - Percy Allen from the Seattle Times asks: What's wrong with Earl Watson?

My answers: he over-dribbles (also known as "Shammond-ing" the ball, named after a former Sonic); he delivers passes late to players catching and shooting; he drags his defender into team mates that have the ball causing a big clog for the offense; his passes do not hit players in the hands; his entry passes into the post player are so poorly delivered that the player often loses some post position (causing the player to re-post); he pounds the ball long enough to reduce possessions to one shot attempt, if it is the post player and he attempts to repost there isn't time on the clock for the post player to get the ball back; his defense is not good enough to compensate for his sub-par offensive play making.

I've got a few more, but you get the point.
