Vomit tastes bad

Lord Voldemort and the Deatheaters @ New Orleans

Official Attendance: 14,428 (307 buttholders short of the needed average)

I have to keep this one short, otherwise my stomache acid will rot my tounge.  If the Hornets ARE coming here, they better win this game eight, nine times out of ten, especially on their home court.  Most of the time, Seattle fans will only care about the attendance stat.  Today, they cared a little more about the score, and CP3 and co couldn’t get it done.  I did peg this game as a possible above average attendance day due to the two bright young stars coming into the building, and it fell short of that.  Up next at home the Hornets have Tyreke Evans and the rest of Sacramento Kings, another team rumored to be relocating to Seattle.  Let me just remind readers that the commissioner wants to have teams overseas in the next ten years.  Take care of business at home first. 

And because this game was tougher to swallow for all Sonic fans, let me remind you of something our former star said as recently as September: http://seattle.sbnation.com/2010/9/29/1720257/nba-training-camp-2010-kevin-durant-seattle-sonics-oklahoma-city-thunder

We’ll move on when we can boo your jerseys, not you as a person, when you come to town to play against the Sonics.  Remember, he was only here a year and he still mentions missing Seattle.  Just makes you want to throw a boiling cup of coffee at schultz, scorch the earth around stern, send a possessed man after bennett, and make a pansy deal to send nickels away.

What ELSE is on my mind

-Congrats to George Karl!  One of the two best coaches in Sonics history collected win number 1,000 today in the Great White North.  384 of those wins came as leader of the Green and Gold.  One other thing to point out, in his seven and a half years at the helm of the Sonics, his winning percentage never dipped below .500.  You read that right.  From the time he took over 40 games into the 1991-92 season until Wally Walker fired him after a 61 win ’97-’98 season his win percentage was .643 or higher and we never missed the playoffs.  If the above shoved a knife into your heart, I think I just gave it a twist.

-If Cam Newton doesn’t win the Heisman tomorrow, there is something wrong.  Sadly, it can be argued that if he still has that Heisman in 10 years, there is something wrong.  At least, Reggie Bush will feel that way.

-I know the NBA has been gone a couple years, but I don’t ever remember them playing nude.  There must have been a uniform change because I’ve heard a lot about teams STREAKING over the last couple of days (ha ha HOO WOW!)  Seriously though, Dallas has won 11 in a row (and they are second to the Spurs in their division still!), Boston has won 9, New York 7, Decisions 7, and Chicago and Portland each have 4.

-I wish the Cliff Lee would have the Yanks and Rangers shake their junk and end this pissing contest.  With all the trades he’s been a part of since midway through 2009 (3 – Indians to Phillies, Phils to Mariners, M’s to Rangers) I don’t blame him for making teams sweat a bit, but I want the other dominos to fall in this Hot Stove season.

-Miguel Olivo?  Really?  In 2 previous years with the Mariners he hit .176 in 104 games.  I know we weren’t looking forward to an exciting off season like last year, but it has been reported that he wants to play every day.  Did the M’s give up on Adam Moore completely?  I wanted Gregg Zaun.  Yes he’s 40, but with not starting to play regularly until the mid 2000’s he would have been a great platoon and mentor for Moore while we saw what we have or don’t have. 

-Hawks 20, 49ers 17

Only because Alex Smith is starting and Frank Gore got his hip broken by Will Ferrell.  (If you have no idea what I’m talking about, see The Other Guys.  Vintage Will, very quotable, Eva Mendes, what more do you need?)
