"Gentle Ben", the new moniker for the Grizzlies since Damon Stoudamire went down. Since that day, Jan. 30 when they were 23-11 they have gone 10-16 and are crawling back to .500 we are creeping toward it. We seem a little energized I must say. The Sonics have looked tougher the last 5 games or so. Back to the photo. In the 60's the wooded version of "Flipper" was a show called "Gentle Ben". It starred Dennis Weaver and Clint Howard. Clint Howard was the rodent looking brother of Oscar winning director and "Happy Days" actor Ron Howard. I think they are both aliens myself. Ben was the bear and to my knowledge he was a grizzly. He kicked the bad guys ass and wrestled playfully with the boy...hmmmmm. You wonder why Iam like I yam?( unintentional Popeye reference,cool) Its because I watched this kinda sap as a 5 year old! Hey, this is a basketball blog right? Lets talk some hoop and tonights game...we are gonna crush the Griz I believe. I'm trying to believe in some positive Sonic magic...magic? I'm reduced to hoping for magic? NO! We are turning around and this is the beginning! I hope...in all reality.
A strange photo, Patrick Ewing in Sonic green. But my lucky # is 33 so I thought I'd include it for a little luck. The Sonics match up well with this team. Luke Ridnour has been invited to Olympic tryouts and I think he'll make the squad as a role player. Play the role tonight Rid, dub figures in pts, assists and maybe 4 steals? I may have been wrong on our trade a few weeks back. Ever since the new players arrived (the triple W,Wilcox, Watson, Wilkes) maybe not directly due to they're good play, but a newfound unity perhaps. Rashard and Ray will shred Memphis tonight I feel with a solid supporting cast. I have failed to mention the injury to Nick Collison and he will be out a month or so. That hurts a bit. Also we got rid of never playing guard Brunson, don't remember his 1st name. Don't remember him either...sorry Rick. Was that it? The Grizzlies are still out Damon Stoudamire, for the year I believe. He is looking at the Trailblazers to buy, with investors of course. Good luck Damon. The foil and the weed and the airport. I don't care about weed, but wrapped in foil going through a metal detector...just plain dumb. Damon, didn't you ever see the movie "This Is Spinal Tap"? Just plain embarrasing, c'mon, you were stoned...werntcha!? Sonics in a blow out...the re emergance. The "new" beginning. Sir Mix A Lot of 1 hit fame but a resident Seattle rapper said it best, but I'll make it plural for team. Let's Get Sprung! Go Sonics, don't make me look the fool again, otay?
