Re: moving on with the rest of the season
I was close, 98 to 88 was under 191 and closer to 185, Sonics covered the 8 points. No questions left in the Twolves minds, they have to go un beaten the rest of the way and Seattle would have to be sub .500I thought Rashard would have a bigger night.Vitali 10 and 8, nice.Ray and Radman were really hot in the second half.

moving on with the rest of the season
Yesterday is over, 30 games to go, conference opponent in the house, Wally "who won no Seattle fans with his childish antics during the last meeting, " is back and I'll guess he gets some treatment by the Sonics front court. I can't imagine that it was just the fans that noticed that Wally was an assclown.

What does the wallet say?
stardust opened at -6.5 and people jumped for the Sonics to cover, line is now -8. With the under/over staying nearly the same 190 to 191.
What's that 99 to 91, one point under and the Sonics better than the Twolves in the eyes of Stardust. Covering 8 with the total score under 200 is a convincing win (as opposed to covering 8 and the combined score is 220). In many minds the Sonics clinch tonight.
I think that Rashard has an average night on paper and the twolves throw every defender they can at him and lose trying to stop him. Just my guess.
I'll also guess that the Sonics look to lock them down, still cover the 8 but the final is under the 191, closer to 185, 96 to 88. That would be an even bigger win and I think it is very possible. The only thing to inflate the numbers is some garbage time scoring.
With the bad knee I would look to defend KG with James for as long as James can, after KG gets tired of the abuse and floats outside I'd send Reggie after him.

No trades for Sups
Hyperbole aside, they are hovering around the Ray situation before making any other moves. They could have done something minor but what's the difference when your magic number is 16 (throwing Brian a bone).
The problem is (on this I'll be shocked to see an argument) that the Sonics don't talk, leak anything. Once in a while I'd like to have something "get out" that they laughed off a trade, who was in it, and that it should be clear to you and I that it was better to not deal. A few years ago it was refreshing to hear Wally Walker say on the radio that he literally laughed at the Knicks calling to trade Ewing for GP. We could all look at that and say "thanks for not doing something stupid". That stuff counts with fans, or at least this fan. Once in a while, they have to throw us a bone and that will go a long way to squelching some of the criticism. Sund mentioning that they were going after a couple players last summer is meaningful to me, saying that they only wanted 4 guards confirms why there were rumors from Houston that they might get AD during the BB negotiations. Brent signed with SA and the AD rumor want away.
A little more communication to support their actions would actually help support their actions (or, inactions).
