Since returning to the starting five, Brown has played his best basketball, averaging 12.2 points and 8.0 rebounds on 40-for-63 shooting from the field (63.5%). The Lakers have been a better defensive team this season with Brown on the court, so having him contribute on offense is a huge bonus.
The matchup between Petro/Swift and Brown should be interesting. There's no question that at this point I wouldn't trade either for Brown.
It also looks like Rashard Lewis will again not be playing for the Sonics. Let's hope Ray Allen finds his shot this evening!
