Roze Gahden Dis Wednesday!

 OK, so it's only preseason but what the hey...I'm psyched on tomorrows game I will be attending here in Portland tomorrow between the Blazers/Sonics. Just want to watch the team stretch it's legs and run with the I-5 rivals who I must admit, are my 2nd favorite NBA team, with Golden State 3rd. Yeah, I know how to pickem don't I? We are playing the Warriors right now in Seattle and are ahead in the 3rd quarter. Ya hoo! Days away from the real games.

Monta Ellis sweeps by the now injured phenom Kevin Durant. When I was in the Bay Area a few weeks back Ellis had taken a nasty fall on his head I read in the SF Chronicle. Good to see you back Monta, take care o that melon.

 Oh well, we ended up losing but I found out something cool in the process. I was following the game on NBA.com Gametracker which is cool to follow the live score, but lacks the crowd noise and sneaker squeaks of the sound of the game and of course, the call of the local teams AM radio sportscaster cuz you gotta love a homer. I have a new laptop I'm just getting used to so it does more than my old dial up ever could. I see the "listen to the game" live and clicked on it, registered, and in 2 minutes was listening to the game via internet radio! I think it's free but it might be a free trial, but I didn't see anything about paying any $$. if you love your team or the Sonics, do this! You have every game a click away wherever there is wireless...NICE.

New addition Wally Szerbiak launches a trey. The signs of a lame duck team shine through. I know it's only preseason but look at all those empty seats. Oh, the team may not be that good either. Sorry, just being honest.

  So the Warriors streaked by us in the 4th, 126-122. Kevin Durant went down with an ankle injury, dosen't seem serious they say. But i won't be seeing him play tonight here in the Rose City. Drag. Won't be wearing the Ray Allen throwback I used to love so. The throwback shooting shirt warm up will suffice. Yellow n Green in a small sea of red and black. Maybe I'll blog live from the game...nah! $9 beers await me. If they only knew that I down the sixy of PBR before I go in, and then only buy two beers. It's awesome though, I walk 2 blocks to the MAX train station and get on, and I'm at the R Garden in 10 mins w/no parking fees or hassle. Yep, just another Sonic fan reducing his environmental impact on the universe. GO SONICS!

 Last but not least, pray for Socal. Katrina in Flames! I have friends on roofs with garden hoses...freakin' valiant. And we herd then into stadiums now. Where is the Nat'l Guard? To all my friends in the Southland, remember P Diddy's (then Puff Daddy) ode to Biggy: Everyday we pray for you...hang in there.
