wow, great start for the Sonics. Ray Ray is on fire and is already 4 for 4 from the field for 10 points. Toronto is playing terrible besides TJ Ford and Graham isnt playing bad. Anthony Parker is playing horendous on both ends of the floor. He is forcing alot of shots and even with some of his open looks, he is missing. Garbajosa is cold as well. Did anybody see Ridnour make Garbajosa fall? That was sick!

Gosh....TJ is playing great right now. You can tell that he is getting tired because he is trying to take over the game. The Raps defense so far has been terrible. They arent getting back for fast breaks, they arent contesting shots, and they arent playing good help defense. TJ is going to need some help....he cant do it all by himself.
CB4- As for Bargnani so far tonight, I have been VERY impressed with his defensive presence. His ability to move his feet for a big man is very impressive. However, he does need to get a little bit stronger, because I could definitely see how that will be a factor. His offensive game has been off so far tonight as well. He is leaving everything short. I noticed off of his first shot that he doesn't put enough arch on the ball. I think that could be a reason why he is missing so many outside shots. Aside from Bargnani, Ford and Calderon are playing great. Jose is playing with a great deal of energy. He is getting loose balls, making great passes, and he is getting in to the lane and kicking back out. Ford, is getting to the basket, shooting well, and making great passes as well. Garbajosa's stroke has been good as well.
Thank you Seattle, everyone lost except the Sixers, and better them then the Knicks, so it was a good night for the C's. We have to stay in it.
We played 4 games in 5 nights so this game was obviously going to be a tough one, especially with Allen shooting like he did. This is a night we really coulda used Bosh to expose Seattle's weak from court, but it'll have to wait. I'm excited he's returning and 2-2 on a west coast road trip isn't too bad for us!
We were just way too fatigued. This was our 4th game in 5 nights. Freaking crazy. We were way too tired defensively in the first quarter, and that may have cost is the game. The scored like 32 points in the 1st. Unacceptable. I didn't like what Sam was doing at the end of the game. He put Jose on Ray Allen, and Ray promptly hit a three right over him. He should have went with a TJ, Jones, Peterson lineup. That's what I would have done. We got the lead down to 2, but it wasn't enough....TJ Ford was great today. I love it when he's just focused on scoring. He hit back to back 3's tonight. He never makes 3 pters...He was also good passing the ball, and he and Jose must have combiend for like 18 assists. Jose was great. His passing was probably the best I've seen all year. This was one of his better games. Fred Jones was great again today. He attacked the rim well, and he didn't force shots, but hit a couple of open 3's. Garbajosa wlso played really well. He struggled in the first, but in the 2nd quarter, he waskey for our comeback. He was hitting a ton of jumpers. Andrea was good again defensively, but this was one of his worst offensive performances yet this year.Ray Allen was great. His court vision impressed me. I didn't know that he could set up guys like that. He hit like 6 threes this game too, and really killed us in the first.Anyway, we just need some rest. We have to go out strong vs. the Twolves. Maybe Bosh will be back for that game - who knows? We're gonna need someone against KG.
Wow Ray allen was great. I thought he would be ice cold but then he started off on fire. Whats up with Boshs injury, is it really that serioud because I think its jus a minor bruise, or unless hes using this time to heel his feet since the Raptors are playing well without him.Ya the raptors were tired after coming off a back to back and each game on the road were tough games. Goldenstate, Suns, Clippers, Blazers and then Sonics thats tiring after the 4th quarter of most of the games were very exhausting when everyone tried their best and used all of their energy
