Season Opener in One Week

  Its easy as this, November 2nd, the lowly Clips...in our house. This is where the season begins. Where will it end? Only time will tell. I'm hopeful but realistic. We have one bonafide superstar and a supporting cast of characters. Although they plug in quite nicely and you know Luke R is getting better all the time. I give a shout out to Luke, I lived in his sleepy hometown of Blaine, WA and loved it. Glad the world passes it by. And Nick's Diner rawks...get the fish sandwich. Had a b ball court right across from a beautiful 4 bedroom old skool house I lived in and played there all the time.

 

  Now I reside in Sonic enemy territory, Portland, Oregon. Although some of the intensity of the rivalry has diminished due to the Blazers on & off the court problems and crappy record. I'll still be at every game Seattle plays here. Gots no fear, its a Harlem, NYC thang baybee! Been in the endzone in Charger Blue in Oakland, dare you to try it, it was rough. Also I was at all games in Yankee Stadium when the Mariners were in the 1st ever AL Divisional Series, that got out of hand as I sat in the bleachers with Seattle cap and shirt...boo ya! I'm alive and well. Nobody much cared about the Sonics wherever I went. 1994-5 was different. Fairweathered Sonic haters. When we do well, there will always be playah haters, just the way I like it. You know your doing well when people boo you, as strange as that sounds.

  One more home game VS Minnesota, then a brutal 6 game east coast road trip. Looks like the Chargers schedule this year, nasty. But it will give the team and coach Weiss a good barometer of where we stand when we head home. We return to the Key at .500 or better I consider the trip a success. So Ray, Rashard, Rid,Vlad, Reggie and Flip, and supporting cast...play every game like the Finals. I will read up on the new players. Johan Petro is new to me but I hear he had a great preseason. I thirst for knowledge so I'll know everybody and all acquisitions we make during the season. Welcome to Sha Lock Lock Sonic Boom, named in honor of the House of Pain song, the "B" side to Jump Around. Either song could be a Sonics theme song, although its considered "Old Skool" hip hop now. Do it Sonics and GO DEEP...into the playoffs and beyond!
