SUPERSONICS 100, TRAILBLAZERS 82
I couldn't let the day pass by without giving the Sonics just a tiny bit of credit. Sure, overoptimistic people will say the Sonics are the only undefeated team left in the NBA. Two things wrong with this logic -- (1) the Sonics have played about 2 or 3 less games than most other teams and (2) they faced the damn Clippers. Twice.
Great moment last night when the buzzer got stuck for over seven minutes at KeyArena. At first the crowd cheered, then were kinda stunned, then cheered once again when the buzzer was disconnected, but so were the scoreboard and clocks. A few more minutes were needed to get those back up and running. Sonics play-by-play man Kevin Calabro mentioned that at first the buzzers had a sort of harmony going, but then "it just got irritating."
A couple things to say about last night. One of these days Ron Murray will come back to earth. He's been a little too good in the three Sonic games so far, and he had 24 pt and 6 ast last night. Reggie Evans had 4 pt and a curious 11 boards in 22 minutes. Needless to say, the Sonics were outrebounded (this time 43-40) like they will be in just about every game this year. As for other top scorers, Lewis had 21, Barry had 20, and Vlad Rad had 19. Once again, "key" offseason acquisition Antonio Daniels was a DNPCD. Will he ever see the floor for the Sonics this year? Should I place a wager on this?
Thanks to sleek procrastination on some assignments yesterday, I was not able to get caught up in Bavasimania on Friday. What have I done today? Well, Jeremy reeled off five posts yesterday, so here's my five for today, and there will probably be more.
