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. Stromile Swift (the one Swift in the NBA who doesn't bring shame on his surname) put 24 on the Sonics, with putbacks,...
How 'Bout We Just Pretend the Last Ten Years of Sonics Basketball Never Happened?

Steve Nash: Not Good Enough to Beat the Spurs, Not Good Enough to Be a Husky

Let's Play 82
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.
Sonics Choose Weiss-ly
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.
Sonics' Season Ends
Ray Allen's desperation three point try at the end of last night's game looked on target as it arced toward the basket with the final buzzer sounding.
Sonics Tie It Up, Apologies About Eva

Sonics Tonight: Pretty Couple, Ugly Game
The Spurs' Tony Parker is a good-looking, 6-2 23-year-old with a French accent who will make $1.5 million this year.
