The BOOM! Returns for '07-8

 It is the triumphant return of Sha Lock Lock Sonic Boom is here. Once named 3rd best Sonics blog in the nation and best outside of WA by Deadspin.com and now long forgotten. Another pioneering blog spot that gave the opportunity to amateurs was roundballbloggers.com. AOL is paying for it's disloyalty to the free bloggers who built up the ratings by contributing for free, then being dumped for others to further they're 
careers or for boring supposed  professional  writers. Who got paid out of the gate after we heart n souled for years. The hits dried up and these spots are now "dead" per say. Well we'll see if I can get back what few SEATTLE Sonic fans are left in the world.

 After being set up for the kill by wahoo Clay Bennett. I said SEATTLE because that is where this team is from. All you aspiring OK visiting Hornet soon to maybe be Sonic fans, enjoy our team if you get them. You don't suck, but the OK Weasel Conglomerate sucks golf balls thru garden hoses.  It's underhanded and Stern will enforce all kinds of dainty shit but this just blows by, not on his radar. Mr. Stern, is some of that oily $$ in your pocket? OK, so this is a lot to play through with the young team we have. I see a tough learning season ahead. Maybe only Danny Fortson has the gumption to choke out PJ Carlesimo and thats a long shot. I live in Portland and I will catch all Sonic/Blazer games at the Rose Garden including the Christmas day game. May even road trip up to Seattle for a few, against the Celtics would be nice. A little green on green action!

Delonte West is ready to play and he be sportin' tatts like Fiddy!

  So on to this years team...ummmm...uhhhhhh. Yeah, we got the #2 guy in the world, freshy phenom Kevin Durant. And a solid Jeff Green who has looked much better than the phenom in preseason. Granted he is a little more college seasoned. We don't have a Greg Oden at center, but neither does Portland! Unfortunately. Will we triple platoon at center? The newly over inked carrot topped Swifty, the Frenchman Johan Petro, and Sene? With Collison as back up, back up, back up, back up? Oh, I forgot Kurt Thomas, sheesh.  Swift, if healthy, could produce some numbers but he is a big man kid who needs some more NBA real game experience to know where he may be headed career wise.

Luke R with the new mask. I love Luke, cuz I lived in his sleepy hometown Blaine, WA and loved it. Your still famous here in OR Rid, but make a name for yourself in Seattle this year, willya?

 The front court is strong. The wings are solid in young and veteran. Is Szerbiak still viable? He should help the youngsters. Wilcox flies high some nights. The rookie tandem of Durant/Green might jell some nights. Chairman of the Bored, I mean Board Nick Collison starts another season in green n gold. We should be consistently inconsistent.

 The guards, we got plenty. None meeting potential at this point. Will Luke be a perennial all star? Most likely not, but when on his game he is solid assist wise and can throw down a few buckets, big defensive liability. Durant becoming the new Magic of the 2000's would be nice, we'll see. We have shorty Watson, great back up, would not start on most NBA teams.  Gelebale, Predator hair doo is a back up too, and has legs as thin as flamingo's, they scare me in the frailty of they're appearance. Like fireplace match sticks. Know nothing of D West, we'll give him a look and I'll research. Also we may have a distant relative of Micheal 'Thriller" Jackson, that would be 1 pt a game 1/2 rebound Jermaine Jackson. Had a hit in 1984 called 'Dynamite" check it on You Tube, he must be really old.

Robert Swift added some ink to his repertoire. He could kick Carrot Top's new steroid ass! Good luck in 07-8 Swifty!

Who the whole NBA be talkin' about. Is that #21 for Texas Richard Simmons son? Durant WILL blossom, just not this year except for select games.

I would like to send Clay on a hunting trip w/Mr. Cheney. Too bad a musket can't be set to fully automatic. Then one day old Clay was shootin' for some food, and up from the Key came an angry Sonic duuuude, fan that is, latte' drinkers, vegan stars.  Well Clay said team "Hey, move away from there, I live in Oklahoma 'n I don't have a care. Said Oklahoma is where the Sonics gonna be, so all you Seattleites can all go piss up a tree!" Gonna be nice hangin' that NBA title banner and all those conference flags in Oklahoma City. You bite Clay.

We will be adding whiskey to our coffees after many games this season. To soften the sting. Speaking of Starbuck's, f%ck you too Sam Schulman, you started all this!
