    Sonics Notebook: James would prefer the Spurs

    By ANGELO BRUSCAS
    SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER

    Jerome James last night made no secret of his preference that the Sonics play the San Antonio Spurs rather than the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference semifinals.

    "For selfish reasons I want to play San Antonio, because with three 7-footers, they've got to play me," said the 7-foot-1 James, who has seen his minutes climb steadily in the first round of the playoffs.

    "I know I'm going to be out there competing for a championship. If you put Denver out there, I think I will be sitting on the bench because they will be running up and down, no low-post game, and that doesn't work to my benefit."

    The Spurs lead the Nuggets 3-1 and can win the series tonight in San Antonio.

    James, an impending free agent, entered last night with averages of 18.8 points and 10.3 rebounds per game in the playoffs after averaging just 4.9 points and 3 rebounds during the regular season.

    James, who had 11 points and 6 rebounds last night, was asked before the game if he thinks his playoff outburst has helped his case in seeking a lucrative contract, whether in Seattle or elsewhere.

    "Supply and demand, that's what America is built on," James said, smiling.

    James needs to realize that he is not in fact Bill Russell, and that Kenny and Charles saying that on Inside the NBA is called sarcasm. But whatever, I'm sure he'll have fun defending TimVGOD in the paint so it.

    The soft, fat dumbass thinks mulitplying his playoff numbers vs his season numbers by 3X is going to fool anybody with $$$ this summer?

    In 4 season games vs Spurs, he averaging 25 MPG, dominating the Spurs with 3.3 RB/G, and 2.5 PT/G.

    Be careful what you wish for. If he wants us, then his -ass is going to get us. He's the talk of the Seattle area because of his improved play.

    Wonder if it's because of his pending "free agent" status. The guy has been sleepwalking for his entire short career and then suddenly, like Mt. St. Helens, he wakes up and erupts. Go figure!

    ...would you exchange a walk on part in war for a lead role in a cage?

    I'm not touching that duck picture with a ten foot pole.

    I do think, though, that James' sentiment makes sense. The guy wants to play, and knows that his best chance to be on the floor is against a bigger, more methodical team. Of the options, the Spurs best fit that description. I don't take from what he said that he wants the Spurs because he thinks it will present the best opportunity for continuing his perceived transformation into Wilt.

    Should the Spurs get that far (and I'm not buying it until they've won 4 playoff games) and Jerome get his apparent wish, I don't think it will take Mr. James long to realize that Brad Miller don't play in SA.

    Jerome James will be the next Olawakandi. One good year and flashes of talent will earn him a nice fat contract and then he will end up spending more time on the bench than anything else.

    See, it's guys like this that ruin things for everybody. Now the university he went to is going to start insisting that their athletes actually pass some classes before they graduate. The next thing you know, they're going to be screening applicants before they are allowed to enroll. Once things go that far, there's nothing the coach can do to help.

    Florida A&M may never be able to recruit another 7-footer.
