Game Thread: Seattle Supersonics @ Toronto Raptors 

Post#1 » by Det the Threat » Sun Mar 9, 2008 11:08 am

After winning their first game of this seven game road trip in Minnesota, the Sonics have dropped their next three and are now trying to stop that losing streak when they cross the border to play Jose Calderon and his Toronto Raptors, who'll have to play without All-Star Chris Bosh.

When and Where?

Sunday, March 9th, 10:00 a.m. PT, Air Canada Centre, Toronto, Ontario(Canada)

This game will be broadcasted by FSN NW

Tip off is a little over two hours away. Don't forget your clocks people.

Toronto is one of the few decent teams the Sonics beat this year. So I have a feeling a little payback is coming.

Plus it's a morning game out East, guy will come out still a sleep.

Does not look good for the Sonics today.

Is Watson in a contract year? I really can't understand why he's doing so good this year compared to others.

no, he is signed for a couple more years. he has been healthy and he has worked hard. he has always been tough, but he has a bit of a swagger this year. he has also found his shot. ridnour has been hurt and he is a wuss. so, not a lot of competition at the point guard spot, watson has gotten the chance to start pretty much all year.

^^^^^^^^^^

yep. you turn it over 21 times on the road to a good team you are going to loose more often then not. durant, watson, and wilcox where the big offenders. but other than that, all three had very solid games. wheezy has put together a nice string of games lately. lets see if he can keep it up.

that is a pretty good team, even without bosh. again, the turnovers killed the supes today.
