We haven't posted about the Sonics in the last couple days even though their season started. It was because of problems with our internet connections, not that we didn't watch.
If you look at it from a distance it could look like the one of the worst opening weeks in franchise history. The team starts 0-2 and the owner filed for relocation to another city. But everyone knew that this season was going to be a struggle on and off the court.

Kevin Durant scored 27 points in his Seattle debut, following up his 18-point NBA debut at Denver on Halloween night. Chris Wilcox had his first double-double of the season with 23 and 11 last night. It's only 2 games, but Nick Collison has been solid.
The problem this team is going to face the entire season has cost it in its first two games: what happens when their jump shooting goes cold? They have been close through 3 quarters, then they get tired and the shots don't fall in the 4th. With the lack of defense we've seen so far, if the shots aren't falling this team could be blown out of a lot of games this season.
Forget the record, forget the offcourt crap, this season will be a fun one to watch for Sonics fans. Appreciate the fact that we have a front row seat to one of future's biggest stars.
