Danny Fortson sucks, so you know. Don't think he has ever changed. :)

Actually, he's one of the best players on our team this year. Don't believe me? 2bad4u.

If someone who has 9.5 PPG and 6.6 RPG is one of your best players, that's pretty sad. ;)
Yes I realize he's in the top 10 in rebounding, but so are a lot of other people. :D

The Sonics usually get good starts, like last year and the year ago. However as the season wear on, their bigs get inconsistent, and there shooters lose there legs. Defensively, they are weak in the guard positions.

Heck no. :P
All I'm saying is that if Ridnour, Fortson, Evans, and Collison play this way for the rest of the season, we're capable of winning a championship. Trust me, I watch every single game, and they don't show you all of the stats or highlights on ESPN that are truly worthy. They only show stuff with Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis. :P
Jazz and Sonics hook up tonight in Seattle. This is good for Seattle 'cuz AK-47 has been sent to the injured list. What happened to Utah? They were riding up in second place for a while. Now, they're in dead last and one or two games above .500. Oh yeah, and 4-6 in their last 10 games.

That is a big if, neither Fortson or Evans is a huge shotblocker or intimidater, something a championship team needs. Reboundwise, they both are good at 5 and 9 respectively, but that won't hurt any team, or win games with. They are solid post players with thick bodies. However they are similiar in a lot of ways, both aren't great offensive players or shotblockers. Both are undersized, and would get killed by the KGs, Brands, Duncans, O'Neal, Wallace, etc. Or the taller more athletic guys.
There shooters will lose there legs, and their defense isn't good enough to stop anyone team with Allen and Ridnour being the average defensive players. They usually win by playing great offense, but average defense. The shooting won't be there all year, and the shooters will lose their legs which would hurt them a lot.
Slinky's a Laker's fan, we get it! Anyways, on to more important news. The Sups defeated the Jazzless Jazz of Utah. Yeah they were without AK-47. So what? This means that even if the Sonics are a bad team, Utah cannot win without AK. With about 10 seconds left in regulation, Radmanovic hit a three pointer to tie the game and send it into overtime where the Sonics made quick and easy work of Utah winning by 10 points. 129-119. Much thanks to Ray Allen, who scored 38 points, Vladimir Radmanovic who hit the tying shot, and Danny Fortsen for sticking around into overtime and playing unbelieveable defense on Carlos Boozer. However, Boozer played magnificantly in some-what of a homecoming (Alaska), scoring 36 points.

Are these guys 50 years old? I don't think so. Ridnour scored 17 points the other night. Ray Allen is the premier 3-point shooter, and he recently proved he can play through a severe fever when beating Indiana. And if 3-point scores points and helps you win, there's nothing wrong with it. Watch the Sonics every once in a while. What they show on ESPN doesnt' show it all. Neither does watching them play your frutie-@$$ Lakers.

The Sonics beat KG and the T'Wolves and Duncan and his Spurs, ya moran...

Of course...I'm a Laker fan. I don't know crap huh?
Yes they have beat some impressive team, but in the playoffs and late in the season, players won't be able to jump and shoot as well as they do. Shooting teams could get into slumps, and if they are playing great, there confidence will grow and they will get hot.
I must admit Forston did a good job early in the season against Garnett and Duncan, but they had very good rebound numbers.

Seattle is currently beating Portland, 94-81, in the second game of this heated rivalry this year. 3:14 left, we'll see what happens. :)

We won. 8-)
We're playing in San Antonio on Wednesday, and I believe that if we can beat them on the road, we're the best team in the game. We've already beaten Minnesota on the road, so playing a team with that is ties with us for the best record in the NBA should be our biggest test so far.

The sonics proved something to me, I think they are for real now. Its impressive to go to SA and win especially when i thought it would be DET- SA Finals this year

At one point, the Sonics were ahead by 21 in the first half. The Spurs came back in the second half to pull within as many as two. However, the Sonics did win by six. :D

I hope they will prove me wrong by not fading, great win by the Sonics. Impressive win and so were the last three. Depth, experience, and defense will be a problem in the playoffs, but if they continue to play like this they should get a top 2 seed.
The Sonics beat two very tough teams in two nights. Amazing performance. Keep it up boys!!!

Our next big test will be this next Friday against Phoenix. Hopefully we can get a few more good games from Rashard Lewis and Ray Allen and keep this up. 17-3.

Phoenix will be a huge test, both are good offense teams with players getting hot. The difference will be Amare, if he can stay out of foul trouble I predict a Suns victory.

Crap, the Sonics just lost their second game against Boston. Apparantly Gary Payton doesn't like us anymore. ;)

Only thing good about the Sonics was George Karl and Gary Payton.

Not entirely. In one game, Vince Carter told some Sonics about a play that was designed for him to score, and it turned out that another player on the Raptors scored. :P

I know, but you meant to say it like it was all Carter's fault, even though the play didn't turn out like he told some Sonics it would.
Sonics beat the Heat in Miami to stop their 14-game winning streak. The final score was 98-96.
