Jazz Play A Sour Note At Home

Luke Ridnour"Cool Hand" Luke is getting better with every game. Luke dished out 7 assists and put 17 on the board in a rare Sonic road victory over the Jazz.

 

    The 3 Amigos of the North helped put this in the W column. Ray, Rashard & Ridnour respectively spread the wealth amongst themselves. The point totals were Ray 22, Rashard 16, and Luke 17...and Flip Murray with 81 points to match Kobe...ok I made the last one up. This is also the 1st time we have won consecutive games since Dec. 16-19! Its a new look line up featuring "the need for speed".

  Vlade Radmonavic has been starting effectively since his awesome performance a few days back against PHX. And the no scoring power forward he replaced, Reggie Evans is already whining for a trade. Team chemistry baybee...and harmony. Later Reggie, get on the page or be gone. I'd rather see the team win than worry about minutes for an average player at best.

  More minutes are have also been in the mix for Robert Swift and Johan Petro. They are young, Swift just out of high school, and Petro a 19 yr old from France. Whenever someone tells me they are from France I think they're parents are Coneheads and we will soon be consuming "mass quantities" of beverage and head to the bedroom to toss the "ring on the cone". Better than sex so say the Coneheads! Having these two on the floor ups the "greyhound factor" significantly. Teams aren't reacting well but I'm sure someone is drawing something up as we speak to kill it. Roll with it Sonics...its working and Bob Hill seems to be gaining a little player respect. Ray even said some good things about him after yesterdays game!

Ray leads the team night in and night out in scoring, and he did it again last night with 22. Now the defense part? Guess you can't have it all.

  Tonight we play Dallas at home and if we continue this trend we can win this game. Need a little dee and explosive offense to get by the Mavs. So 4 at home now and then 4 on the road. Hopefully like TLC back in the day we will "Creep" toward .500 and get into the playoffs this season. It can happen Sonic faithful...then again. We'll see if we can somehow roll up a fat winning streak and make it happen.
