Didn't get to watch the game but heard some updates on the radio and it seemed we were on our way to a very competitive game against the Grizzlies. I heard 34-34 middle of the 2nd quarter was the score. I was selling falafels at my stand with no access to the net so the Walkman on the sports station had to suffice. Living in Portland, OR I have to listen to 45 mins per hr of Blazers news, then its all about T.O. Every 1/2 hr they will shoot the NBA scores to ya. As I packed up my cart and closed and went to get some produce I was thinking to myself...hey were hangin' tough, on the road, we'll get this.
So I get home an hr later and sweet dial up connection f*cked me again! Some girl I know got taken away by the men in white coats, I'm not kidding. She had left me a message about it so I call her at the mental hospital and as she is talking to me someone pulled the phone out of the wall! I called right back and the front desk person said call back in 20 mins. I barely know her, she is a sweetie and hot but has that "people are watching me cause I overheard a conversation I wasn't supposed to and I may be killed by the IRA cuz this priest was selling guns" thing going on. Know what I mean Vern? I thought it was strange but she seemed composed. Still don't know the story, kept trying to call her and gave up. And you thought this was just gonna be a hoops blog, huh?
My pc could be compared to the appliances on the Flinstones, ancient. I hope to be into a new pc soon but I'm stuck with dial up...I refuse to deal with Comcast, thieving bastards. So I get on the net, finally. And check the score. The game is over and we got spanked by 25! Ouch! Not a great start to a 6 game road trip.
It looks like Shane Battier took Ray Allen to the woodshed. And Pau Gasol (is that a spanish suntan lotion?) had 23 and also tore up the Sonics. From reading the recap and the box score we went into a coma in the 2nd half. The individual point totals for the Sonics aren't even worth mentioning. We shot 33% for the game. Totally like non awesome,dude. We never scored less than 73 points in a game all of last season when we won the Northwest Division. David "Skywalker" Thompson back in the day in the old ABA once scored 73 in a game. One man with more points in a game than 12 on this Sonics team. Not happy about the loss but the season is young and trends will develop and we'll see what kind of team we have. If we suck at mid season who knows, maybe I will start hearing voices in my head and I'll get rolled away on a Hannibal Lector dolly to the funny farm! Just as long as I get to keep the mask he wore, that thing rawked!
Tomorrow I say bring on LeBron and the Cavs. Tough game but I got faith in the green. C'mon Luke, I'm counting on ya to get in the mix. Pip Pip Cheerio...and all that rot.

Yeah, I watched the game, and Allen got his backside soundly spanked. Not pretty at all.

No, dear, it's a new French automobile fuel. You know, methanol, ethanol, Pau Gasol.....

Yeah, he was hot. I tend to think of Gasol as talented but physically weak, much like Andre Kirilenko. When he gets on a tear, though, he's really tough to stop.

Yeppers, the Vicodin must've kicked in, because Seattle just settled down and went to sleep.

It's a new, ugly world out there, trickage. Look at the formerly mighty Lakers, the perennial Playoff Jazz, and even last year's flash team, the Suns. It's a different place, the League, and it looks like Seattle might not have a spot in it anymore-- like the other teams I just mentioned.
