Are they ever going to start Ridnour? If not will they trade him?

Great win for the Supes! Full effort from the entire team...which is nice to see for a change-- (Although it was aginst N.Y.).....but another notch of great experience for K.D.'s development.

PS. Monday is Nick Collison Bobblehead night.....hope to see everyone come out for that. (Kurt Thomas has a bobblehead coming out too...it comes complete with a full set of crutches and MRI's)

Did anyone read Jerome James's quote in Percy's column on Jerome James??? This might be the dumbest thing I've ever read:

Jerome James, commenting on the Supes successful 2004-2005 season:

"Everybody got paid after that [2004-05] season. A lot of those guys need to thank me for that. I did the dirty work for those guys. I kept them clean. Nobody messed with them and everybody knew not to mess with them because then you'd have to answer to me. I'm not saying Ray [Allen] and Rashard [Lewis] and those guys owe me any money or anything like that, but they should say thank you."

This coming from one of the biggest frauds in the NBA...getting $30 million bucks from the Knicks to sit on the bench for 5 years?!?!?! Am I the only one who thinks Jerome James is smoking Crack???? If ANYONE could say that from 04-05...it'd be Fortsen...he was the real bruiser. Guys like James are ruining this league.

The Sonics were lucky to win the game against the Knicks, because the Sonics point guards relented to the same old practice of shooting ill-adviced shots, holding the ball too long, not passing quickly to their bigs and no continuous fast breaks not to let the Knicks set up their defense! Durants bad shots selections, the bigs going after the guards away from the paint and their man slipping for quick lay-ups and poor field goal percentage (Many shot attempts without canning it). Lastly, not much ball distribution or passing, relying on one on one plays and poor execution of the passes.

The Sonics coaches should more to refine their game and practice on the weaknesses to improve their wins!!!

Michael C.: I saw that, too, and my jaw dropped. Yes, Big Snacks had some highlight moments and he stepped up during the playoffs (12.5 points and 6.8 rebounds). He may have even given a bit hit or three -- but giving thanks? I hope he just meant for the Sacramento series. Otherwise, he averaged 4.9 points and 3.0 boards that season. For a 7-1 center! JJ is cool, but he clearly took advantage of an opportunity to get some attention last night and it worked.

exactly. Outside the Sac series....what did JJ do to deserve thanks?? Like he said....everyone got paid. He's the one who got paid $30 mil for posting Jim McIlvaine type numbers...HE should be thanking Rashard and Ray for all his cash....man, what a messed up statement that was, and just had to comment
