Game Thread: Seattle Supersonics @ Golden State Warriors

Det the Threat · Post #1 » by **Det the Threat** » Wed Apr 16, 2008 6:16 pm

It's the last game of the season and the Sonics will head to Oakland, to face Baron Davis and his Golden State Warriors. Both teams had dissapointing seasons, as the Sonics set a franchise record in losses and with the Warriors barely missing the playoffs, even though they could win their 49th game of the season tonight.

When and Where?

Look out for Baron Davis. I think he'll have an axe to grind. Unfortunately it'll be too little too late to help out my fantasy team. My only realistic goal is to hold off Oz for 2nd place.

Why isnt this game on TV? and neither on LP or anything..

this was originally supporsed to be on ESPN, but they dropped it due to the Warriors falling completely out of the playoff mix. I'm bummed because I have League Pass, and LP doesn't seem to be picking the game back up. So it's all bad.

Once again thanks Det for doing such a great job on your game threads especially with this god forsaken season.

OzThunder · Post #9 » by **OzThunder** » Thu Apr 17, 2008 3:18 am

yeh thanks det.

...and durant has his season averages with 20pts, 3rb, 4ass, with 6:46 left in the 2nd. Could be a big one

It's a shame Clay and Stern went and cancelled this game on TV for us, I would have loved to watch Durant torch the Warriors with 42 pts.

Sounds like it was a good game.

Thanks Clay.

Ya, I would've really liked to watch this one. Especially with how K Durant & J Green teamed up. And N Collison too. Broke open a bottle of 18 year old single malt I'd been saving & had a few neighbor buddies over instead. Seemed like the thing to do...

I think it had more to do with the Warriors playoff status. When the Warriors were eliminated Monday night, ESPN changed schedule.

Anyway, I just wanted to come here and support what you guys are trying to do for your Sonics. I think almost every true NBA fan supports keeping the Sonics in Seattle.

That sucks you guys couldnt watch the game. I was lucky enough to attend the game. Durant was on fire, he would face up guys and bang a 20 footer on them. Green was aggresive to the hoop and got lots of FT's.

Durants first ever double double. 42, 13, 6.

Hopefully we can get some ping pong love.

This game has been publicized as a NO TV game since over two weeks ago for us. No ESPN, no FSN, nothing.

Nothing like not being able to watch the best game of the year by Kevin Durant.

This is as bad as when ESPN switched over to watching Kobe pick his nose on the bench when Ray Allen buried his record setting three pointer in the middle of the game.

And at the end of the game Ray was talking about how he was happy that the fans were able to see it.

Ah scratch that Ray we saw Kobe picking his nose on the bench no you hitting your three.

Sometimes I really hate the NBA.
