Another extremely lackluster effort on the part of the Sonics. And a bad sign that things are not all good in the green house. Radmanovic is bitching to the press that coach Weiss dosen't play him enough. Well Rad you'll get your time now...cause Rashard Lewis went out with a shoulder injury, in the 1st quarter, the same one he hurt last year. So now our #2 scorer and the only other guy on the team who can take over a game on rare occassions is out for who knows how long. Whenever players start complaining this early, its never a good thing. I know coach Weiss is laid back and this team may need some discipline. No panic button pushing yet, but suffering two HUGE blowouts in a row shows lack of motivation and heart on the part of the team. Ray Allen had virtually no support in his 25 point effort tonight.
To start Cleveland killed us at the free throw line, sinking an amazing 28 of 28 before they missed one. I could stop here and say there is the scoring disparity right there, but there is so much more to whine about. King LeBron had 31, and flip those numbers and you have Larry Hughes total of 13. LeBron even took a seat on the bench for almost the last 9 minutes of the 4th quarter and we still didn't make up any points. Heard LeBron took an alley oop pass from Donyell Marshall twisting in the air and one hand tomahawk jammed it in spectacular fashion while Luke Ridnour wished he had a steel umbrella to take cover under it went through the hoop with such force! I'm a Seattle fan, but f*ckin' LeBron is da man. Every time he goes up for a shot I think of golf fans before every shot in a tournament shouting, "You da man!" What's he gonna do next? Its usually good.
So V Rad, did you like dee ing up on LeBron after replacing Rashard? 21 pts he smoked you for...in the 1st half! You can shoot Rad, but your dee sucks like a black hole whether your guarding da King or not!
So its a travel day tomorrow and then its off to the bad Washington, not the beautiful one in the great NWest. We play the Wizards and we best regroup and get on it. We can totally win the next 2 games, the Wiz and the lowly Jurassic Park named Raptors, stupidest Barney logo insignificant team in the league. When will they go the way of the old Vancouver Grizzlies and move to a place where someone cares. The funny is the road purple they wear, just like Barney, he is so fierce. People are into the Maple Leafs there, not the Raptors. Before I rip on the Raptors too much I should wait till we play them but I don't care. If we lose to them, even this early, we gots problems boyeeeeee! So the road trip has started out horrendously but can be salvaged. Lets take the Wizards wand and instead of casting a stupid ass spell, lets beat them over the head with it and then shove it...I'll stop there, anger management bro...chill.

Nah, sometimes angry is all you can get, when things look this bad.
Don't be too hard on Rad, though; there aren't many guys--Kobe and maybe Raja Bell--who can effectively defend against LeBron James. Rad did the best he could with the nearly zip defensive skill he has against one of the most agressive players in the League. Anybody could've predicted James would smoke him early and often.
Fun entry---thanks for a good read.
