In Case You Missed It, Hillary's Back
Tired With Ranking Wealth, Forbes Moves on to the Seven Deadly Sins
(For example to measure the sin of "wrath" the magazine used murder rates for cities.)
Memphis 125, Sonics 108
When you allow a team to reach the century mark in the 3rd quarter, you aren't going to win a lot of games. Unless you're the 1979-80 San Antonio Spurs. The Sonics did enough on offense to win tonight: Eight guys scored in double figures, led by Delonte West's 17. But on defense...oy.

Report: Bennett Wants To Come Back, Didn't Mean All That Stuff He Said, C'mon Baby, Don't Be This Way
Clay Bennett and Greg Nickels talked today, and the upshot is that--a year and a day after buying the team, and only a few months after saying he was moving--Bennett wants to reopen talks about staying in Key Arena. So says Jim Brunner of the Seattle Times.
Steve Nash: Not Good Enough to Beat the Spurs, Not Good Enough to Be a Husky

Kitty!
Only a couple minutes into Duma, the latest film from Carroll Ballard, king of mature-minded animal flicks (The Black Stallion, Fly Away Home), one thing becomes abundantly clear: Baby cheetahs are really, really f-ing cute. Their fur is all mottled and super fluffy. Rather than meowing, they make a little bird-like peep. We totally want one.
Look Who's Riding the Pine

No Rashard Tonight for Sonics
Sonics' forward Rashard Lewis can't run on his injured toe, and will not play in Game Six of the Sonics' Western Conference semifinals series tonight, the AP reports.
Sonics Tie It Up, Apologies About Eva
With a surprisingly easy 101-89 win last night over San Antonio, the Sonics tied the Western Conference semifinals at 2-2.
Sonics' Play Turns Ankles, Stomachs
