Thank You! :bowdown:

That just happened because i, for whatever reason, thought that we'd play the Cavs today. :dontknow:

Don't worry, I thought we played the Cavs today too until I read your thread and had to check the Sonics website.

Your subconscious must have told you we played the Suns instead.

I wish we were playing the Cavaliers today instead of the Suns. The Suns are actually going through a bit of evaluation themselves. I think they're only playing 0.500 against the western conference & Kerr is considering if there's something that wants to be done about that. Tonight's game could get ugly. But hopefully K Durant & J Green in the starting lineup continues to sink in and the ball moves on offense. I'm also starting to like what I'm seeing out of D West now that he's stopped thinking so much and is just playing.

I'm sick of watching the awful Miami Heat or the boring Spurs finally my Sonics are on TV!

I have a "Source" that claims the Sonics are bringing back Danny Fortson tonight just for one game.

So during the tip off of tonight

If the Suns lose, yousall should check out the Suns board afterwards....I guaran-dang-tee you that there'll be 2130982340983 posts about how we suck and will never win a championship ever ever. It's kinda entertaining to read....

Interesting stat from the Suns board, Phoenix are 5 and 17 in games televised in Australia. Hopefully that trend continues.
Go Supes, looking forward to seeing just how bad Wilkins and Watson (according to you guys) and my first taste of Kevin.

bulls, blazers in ot. ben wallace is starting to remind me of that sanjaya guy from american idol. its like he is trying to distract us from the fact that he isnt very good by doing up his hair all crazy every night.

btw: sanjaya is from federal way.

Hurry up and finish them off Portland!

This is just typical one of the very few times Seattle is on TV and we have to wait until an earlier game finishes
