Yikes. That means Wilkins will play, meaning that somebody might get killed with one of his airballs.
For whatever reason, I see Delonte getting a lot of minutes tonight. He seems like a good match for Gibson.

The reason for Green shooting 8 for 8 is that he doesn't force up shots.
The game isn't over yet but it looks like the Sonics are going to win two straight against the two conference champs of last season.

Outstanding game by K Durant. Sharp quick passes. Didn't hold the ball. Put an effort out there on defense. How 'bout those two blocks when L Hughes was heatin' up?! Only one bad shot by my count. Took "only" 16 shots. Got his teammates more involved. Ran the floor. The only negative was the turnovers. His best game that I can remember.
J Green showed the entire repertoire tonight... dunks, drives, pull ups, put backs, mid range & a 3ball. And a few assists. Nice. Team player the whole way. Excellent answer to those questioning his selection to the rookie team.
Not J Petro's best game, but I loved the hustle. Great the way he jumped out defending the high pick & roll. Got another block. I liked the way he looked for his shot. He can score. The only downside was a hurried a little on a few shots. That will easily correct with more minutes. J Petro is on track.
C Wilcox played well. Nice post game - he actually got a few entry passes down there. He finished with the best. He put back. He rebounded. Solid.
Best game E Watson's had that I can remember. He was much quicker getting the ball into the offense. 12 assists. And he stepped into and knocked down that 3ball like he could shot it. Nice.
A blind (Please Use More Appropriate Word) monkey would've had better substitution patterns than PJ had tonight. I have absolutely no idea what the hell he's trying to do. It's just so random. I can only hope that Presti makes the moves he needs to make soon & PJ settles into these nine guys...
Starters - Remaining PG, K Durant, J Green, C Wilcox, R Swift
Rotation - D West, N Collison, W Szczerbiak, J Petro
Maybe we should just write down the rotation pattern for PJ and give it to one the assistance. That way he could just get up and walk to half court when ever his hemroids are bothering him with out screwing up the team.
