We're about to win 10 in a row and Seattle has lost 5 straight, and they're playing in Boston. That will be a 20+ win for the C's, at the very least.

I'm getting sick of playing these types of games. Recently we've seen Chicago, NY, Philly, Memphis, and now Seattle. I want to play some 500+ teams that present more of a challenge. The only interesting part of this game will be seeing how Sam does in his second game. I can't wait to go to the southwest.

the sonics, despite their record, play hard.

they are at their best when they run the floor, which the try to do whenever they can.

very young and very athletic.

in the half court game, they are lost. they are also turnover prone.

The first 5,000 fans at tonight

Does anyone know if we'll be playing in the St. Patty's jerseys tonight? We started using them last year against the Bulls on March 11, and today is March 12.

My guess is they start wearing them on Friday against the Jazz then Saturday against Milwaukee and of course Monday against the Spurs. That's just my guess though. They could very well be wearing them tonight.

Thanks, this should be a fun one.

Good luck in keeping the Sonics in Seattle. I have no idea why they'd want to leave such a nice place with such a longtime fanbase.

Thanks.
It's because Bennett and his cronies bought a team to bring it home to OK City and be the heros of their town.

Though, the politicians of the state of Washington aren't all that great either, as they'll probably not help that group, led by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, to get this $300 mil KeyArena model to work(they need to OK $75, which would be generated by the tax that right now is used for the Mariners and Seahawks stadiums), cause they're telling people it was proposed to late(officially one week before the legislature ends, but the most important people knew of this way earlier) and that people should accept that Bennett doesn't wants to sell the team.

Though, the city of Seattle and this group are now looking if there's a way to finance it themselves, so they're able to present a viable plan to the BOG, before they vote on Benntt's relocation request in mid April.

Cheers Det.

Ray Allen is going to be determined tonight. Players always want to put salt in the wounds of their former teams.

We wore the St. Patrick's jerseys five times last season, three times away (@ DAL, SA, NO) and twice at home (vs. CHI, ATL). We started wearing them March 11 last season, so I guess we'll have those jerseys tonight.

Yep, he looked horrible out there. Like a lost child. But it was only his 1st game. I'm sure he'll do much better in his future games.

Ray Allen and Durant should be the key players to this game. Old vs. New Seattle 2's.

I'm fine with a shootout.
