Wilcox puts up 15 in the first half.
WTF do they think is gonna happen when Duncan plays em?
Hes gonna go off for 50...
00.2 SEA - D. Wilkins made a 41-foot three-pointer from near midcourt
Seattle (Oklahoma) has a chance of being alot better THIS year than many people expected.
Really nice first half for the Sonics as they embark on whatever last-ditch effort there might be to keep the team in Seattle; it does seem that the fans want that more than Sonics' ownership. But I'd think that if they can play an exciting brand of basketball and bring folks out to see them play, they might figure out some way to keep the NBA working in Seattle.
sonics will replace gs this year as the suprise team
durant>>>>>>>>>>oden
The Sonics should stay in Seattle.
Work with em Seattle come on.
I can remember how deadly and tough the middle late 90s Sonics were.
I also remember them as teh first to use alot of sound effects during play.
Suns defense looks bad right now. Even our better defenders, Bell and Marion, look slow.
But it's the first ing half of the first ing game of the season. Anyone who makes a judgment based off of these first 24 minutes is ejaculating prematurely. The Suns started off 1-5 last season with nearly the same squad.
You guys are hilarious.You want so badly to hate on the Suns, as if it makes some kind of difference.
xylus
who other than Bell and Marion is gonna play defense?
What coach on the team preaches defense?
QUESTION
WOO! Go SONICS! I'm liking this team. Durant looks pretty good
Good job PJ and Sam!
suns gonna score 110 points a game this year but they would allow 109
who is gonna guard duncan...marion or stoudamire?
The Suns were a top-10 defense in the league last year, based off of all the stats I saw (defensive efficiency, opponents' FG%, point differential). They weren't a top-tier team like San Antonio, but their defense wasn't terrible like some people claim.
They have trouble against teams like San Antonio and Utah, not because their defense is horrible--they have trouble because none of the players in their rotation are big enough to defend a Tim Duncan or a Carlos Boozer. Physically, Duncan and Boozer are too much for Amare to handle alone.
As the season progresses, their defense will improve.
Hopefully Skinner, if D'Antoni gives him the minutes he deserves.

thats the laughter of Tim Duncan you can hear already.
You guys had a fantastic shot at beating the Spurs, if you had signed Hill and KEPT Thomas.
If you guys had kept Kurt Thomas, I would've picked the Suns to go to the Finals and win it all.
BUt htey done ed up and got rid of their 2nd best defensive player.
Skinner <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Thomas
Sonics look pretty good out there. And Suns look same as usual. Still no defense.
Whys Marion not starting, and Marcus banks is out there???
nevermind, thats the stupidass ESPN Gamecast screwing up..
Kevin Durant will score 40 tonight.
Wow, I didn't think the Sonics would look this good.
I feel bad for Stoudemire. He seems so alone on the inside, and the Sonics defense is doing a number on the Suns' frontcourt.
I don't know if it's the Sonics overall defense or sloppy Suns offense that's working the magic here. But the Baby Sonics do have a little hastiness in their offense that I am sure P.J. will work out.
