The Sonics? Oh, yeah, that Oklahoma team.
The Spurs aren't playing very well this year. They might not even make the playoffs.
Yeah that was not a convincing game, the sonics played like crap most of it and the only thing you can say is that the spurs played worse.
I am torn.
I was born in San Antonio.
And I've never lived in Oklahoma, so who do I cheer for?
Denver's professional rodeo team, the Broncos.
Yo Will, we know who you cheer for. HINT: They have a huge fanbase from Capitol Hill; they only fill up the lower bowl of Key Arena; and none of them have ever dunked in a game.
Y'all is crazy.
The Sonics sucked hard every minute against the Hawks, it was rare for us to be behind by less than 20
Aw, Shaniqua, it's cause my sis used to be a regional basketball champ in BC. Just like my nieces are bball champs.
It runs in the blood.
NBA officials call games based on favoritism, in a misguided attempt to help the league promote superstars. Getting calls in the NBA depends on your place within the following hierarchy, in descending order:
* Super-duper Stars (you get every call, no matter how obviously wrong)
* Superstars (almost every call, with an occasional makeup)
* Stars (most calls, but less than superstars)
* Respected Veterans (usually get the call, though they have to work for it)
* Veterans (get more calls than not)
* Respected Rookies (about even...there are only about 5-10 of these in the league)
* Everybody else who isn't one of the above (they all get screwed constantly)
* Rookies (they never, ever get a call)
The Sonics have no players in the top 4 categories. They have a couple veterans and one respected rookie. Everyone else falls into the latter two categories.
They would be losing anyway. But the NBA's fucked-up merit system doesn't help.
