You could always make your own game thread Sonics-Fan. Nice to know you took time out of your day to simply rip on the guy who is nice enough to put together these game threads in the first place.

Well I appreciate the thread Det. Apparently Sonics-Fan is the kid who complained on Christmas for not getting "exactly" what he wanted.

With both Bynum and Gasol out I'd like to think that the Sonics at least have a shot in this game but the Lakers still have Kobe and if you have Kobe your odds are pretty good.

None the less I'm calling for the upset. I think the Lakers over look the Sonics and the Sonics gut out a win.

He probably just likes to look at pictures of guys. Maybe you could post one of your kinky leather pics for him, Wiffler?

If Sene doesn't get minutes tonight, I'm going mental...

The Lakers are in a playoff race to try and secure a top spot if not the #1 spot,I don't think they can afford to over look anybody. One lose can do damage in the standings. Look what happen to the Rockets, lost two games and are now in 5th.

LOL at Durant's facial expression after that poster slam on Benga. :lol:

This game was decided most of the way through the first quarter, yet D Marshell, the fighting fossil without a shirt, gets 27 minutes while M Sene only gets 8.5 minutes.

A (Please Use More Appropriate Word) monkey, no, a drunk (Please Use More Appropriate Word) monkey, throwing darts against a wall of player pictures would do a better job of managing player rotations than PJ.

You've responded to most of my posts since I called your Rockets topic "tasteless". I didn't reply to any but this one, cause I really don't care too much about what you have to say.

You shouldn't take the internet too personal. Go out, lift some weights, work on that belly, make some friends, etc. It will do you more good than wasting time on google trying to find pictures that match your tasteless topics.

Have a nice day, wiff.

you know sonics-fan, i told wiff that i thought the rockets post was in poor taste as well. but he hasn't come after me for it. you know why? because while wiff and i often disagree, we are both true SEATTLE SUPERSONICS fans who care about our team and its future. we may not always see eye to eye and we will let the other one know about it. but we try to remain respectful of ome another. that is hard to do sometimes on this board with the different opinions voiced here. but i think you will find that the real fans, no matter how much we might disagree, always try and stay respectful. we throw jabs at each other from time to time over various topics, but we somehow manage to put that aside when it comes time to debate the next topic. i for one am grateful for that.
