First Sonics Pre-Season Game on NOW

posted by on October 9 at 19:09 PM

If there is anyone on the Slog right now who cares, you can catch your Seattle Supersonics in their first pre-season game against the Sacramento Kings on 770 am. They just announced the starting five—Point Guard: Luke Ridnour, Shooting Guard: Kevin Durant, Small Forward: Damien Wilkins, Power Forward: Nick Collison, Center: Robert Swift.

What I want to know his, where the hell is Jeff Green?

I went to the Sonics open practice last Saturday at SPU, and Green, along with Durant and former Celtic Delonte West, were the most exciting players on the court. We are seriously struggling when it comes to the big men. It will be interesting to see how the rehabilitated, tattoo-covered, long-haired Robert Swift does. He put on 40 pounds of muscle that, from what I can tell, landed mostly in his calves and has him lumbering around the court with not a shred of grace…

Yeah, this is the Slog, wake us up when they (and their ridiculous ownership) bless us by leaving town for good.

not caring. especially after their dumb commercials, trying to get in at the start of the "new era"? the new era will start once they move, not while they are cannibalizing the team to decrease revenue and fuck the city

Yes, there are Sonics fans who care and wish the game was broadcast on a mainstream radio station.

I care. But, man do I hate that ownership group. I can't wait til we get this thing solved so I can start paying attention again. It is really killing me.

Like Swift had any grace before. He had all the grace of Shawn Bradley after a can of Jolt.

for what it's worth Green wound up logging more minutes (24) in the game than Durant did.

Can't say he did a lot with them tho (3/8 for 6 points and 4 TOs)

Even if you like the Sonics, and care... this is the first preseason game. Insufficient cause to reach for the radio.

I was pretty sure they had left already.

What's taking them?

Do they need help packing?

i know, this ownership group just...wants to get out of seattle. seriously, that guy's a dick. and then lenny wilkens is suckin his dick by not even TRYNA get local support to get the sonics to stay.

rashard is out, so is allen, and we just have a young team. seriously, this ownership's just gonna move after this season, then trade nobody and when the chemistry's there, be like, "yeah, the sonics belong in oklahoma"

but our pre-season's suckin ass, right now. ass juice.
