I just want to come in here and congratulate you guys and the city of Seattle for being such great fans to this team. If they did indeed play their last game in Seattle tonight it was a hell of a way to go out.

I will be sorry to see them leave Seattle if that is the case.

Yes, I agree, if this is indeed the last game in Seattle, what a way to go out.
The folks in OKC deserve a team in their own right, but hopefully it won't come at the expense of just as deserving fans of Seattle.

I wish you guys good luck...

I would call last night a storybook ending, but hopefully its anything but that. Everyone I've ever met from Seattle is a classy individual (apparently your owner may break that mold), and hopefully ya'll won't be rocking Durant "throwbacks" anytime soon! Best of luck to you guys

wanted to add my best. What a game last night.

When I was a kid, our NASL team left the city, and my heart was broken like someone had hit it with a Skil saw...I know somewhat how you feel.

And I live in Memphis...so...I hear some of the same stuff you guys heard for a couple years now (although the facts bear out that the Griz are obliged until 2021, or so they'd tell us....but it's freakin' Heisley, who knows).

It doesn't look good for now, but I really, really hope that a way could be found for y'all to keep the Sonics. Wouldn't seem right any other way.

Great game! Glad I tuned in the Sonics game the last week or so, the Denver game was great too.

The fans were fantastic (especially those two girls near Carlesimo...damn). Hope everything works out, a team needs to be there. Franchise has too much history. Plus, first Vancouver now Seattle? Only Portland will be left over there...

I'm going to check the What can you do thread, keep faith guys.
"I definitely knew he traveled, but I didn't know they were going to call it. That was one of them situations in which a great player made a move...and they called the call. And I was like, 'Oh, man, there is a God.'
