Big game tonight - if we win we're above .500, if we lose we're below .500 - it's as simple as that. We're opening up a three-game road trip as well (@ Phoenix on Friday and @ Clippers on Saturday). Those last two games are going to be really tough to win, so tonight is going to be absolutely HUGE for us... and we need a victory.We have won four of our last five games @ Seattle, with the only loss coming last season when Iverson was forced to sit out the game with an injury, but in the previous four games in Seattle he has averaged 34 points a game. Hopefully our fortunes in Seattle will continue and we'll be able to end this three-game skid.New Jersey is also in action tonight, so the Atlantic Division lead is on the line, even if it is early in the season.
I kno its still early, but this will make or brake our season. We go below .500 I dont see us getting other too much and having a good season. Seattle is pretty much the same team as us in terms of how good we are. h And opefully we can sneak some wins agains the Clipper and Suns.
I don't think this can make or break our season yet like you said analyst. It is waaayyyyyy too early in the season for that. Theres still what, 76 games left?

We opened the season 3-0, then lost the last three games. This is going to be a test for us. Can we come together and win a big game on the road? It's not going to kill us if we lose, but we need to win these type of games so we can start building something for the rest of the season.Plus, like Analyst said, I don't want to see us fall too far below .500 this early in the season because it will be incredibly difficult to fight our way back up.
4 minutes left in the 2nd quarter, I can't see the game but from the box score we don't look too bad. Iggy is solid, Iverson is a bit streaky though. Shav with 5 rebs. Idk, from the looks of it I don't think we are gona get blown out.
We got lucky in the first half defensively. The Sonics are shooting themselves in the foot with unforced turnovers. Offensively Iverson is just cold tonight, and he needs to start trying to get everybody else involved and take his open shots instead of forcing them.Iguodala is aggressive, and that needs to continue. Shav has provided some great energy off the bench thus far. We need to step up defensively, and hopefully AI can get it going in the second half.
