After losing their 10th game in a row in Los Angeles, the Sonics don't have much time to think about it as they travel to Salt Lake City and play Deron Williams and his Utah Jazz on the back end of a back-to-back.

Chris Wilcox might be back for this one.

Deron was quoted in the SL Tribune as saying

"We've got to avenge this bad Lakers loss. Seattle might be in a little trouble."

Eeep.

The only positive about this game is the chance to see CJ Miles & M Sene play. And continue to see what J Petro can do against starting centers. He may actually be a good match up tonight.

watson out with an injury. looks like the supes might need to give wilks a call. marshal hurt as well.

kd has started to develop a couple of go to moves off the dribble. base line right for the up and under and wing left to the middle for the spin and dunk or soft floater. with his length those are hard moves to cover for a defensive player.

anyone think we're going to sign someone to a 10-day to help out because of all the injuries.

depends on how long watson is going to be out. even if wilcox is out for the season, i think they will be ok up front. but yeah, they are running out of warm bodies.

With Earl out, games are going to get uglier...which at this point it is hard to imagine how it can get any worse.
