Say this for new Sonics owner Clay Bennett--he knows shitty basketball when he sees it. And he's replacing the men most responsible for bringing it to you, GM Rick Sund and coach Bob Hill.

Sonics' record under Bob Weiss last season: 13-17 (.433 winning percentage).

-Is there a haze to the air today? A certain weight suspended in the atmosphere? Have you noticed anyone discreetly masking a shotgun blast to the face? Is it... sniff sniff... Cheney!

Befuddled Bob Weiss, whose sideline body language reminded us of overwhelmed Husky coach Keith Gilbertson, is gone, replaced by Bob Hill. Hill's last team, the 2002-03 Fordham University Rams, posted a 2-26 record (though they did nearly knock off then #25 Dayton). Hill is a safe and underwhelming choice--just like Weiss was.

Apparently Sonics management didn't like Bob Weiss spouting off on why the Sonics stink any more than we did. He's been fired. Current assistant Bob Hill, the former Spurs coach, takes over, bringing his "philosophy of basketball" and fabulous hair.

Sonics coach Bob Weiss thinks he's finally figured out what's wrong with his 13-17 team--they lack a shot-blocker.

Wouldn't it be great if everything were like last year ? Nate McMillian was coaching, the Sonics were winning, and everyone got along. Well check the calendar Jack, because it's 2005-2006 ---Bob Weiss is the coach, the Sonics aren't playing that well, and Vladamir Radmanovic is piiiiiised.

After playing poorly in the Sonics' first two games, fourth-year guard Ronald "Flip" Murray is going to be getting considerably more pine time.

When Howard Schultz bought the Sonics, he spoke of a five-year plan to win a championship. It started out fine with a year-one trip to the playoffs, then the second and third year--nothing. Last year the team made the leap and finished as a third seed in the West, taking the eventual champion Spurs to six games in the conference semi-finals.

Current assistant coach, original player, and Stephen Tobolowsky look-alike Bob Weiss has been offered the Sonics head coaching job, if the Tacoma News-Tribune is to be believed.
