Brief Notes: <ul> [*]The Supes welcome the surging Bulls to the Emerald City while trying to bounce back from a two game skid. Seattle has yet to lose three games in a row and I have a hunch that Nate would like to keep that streak alive. In the latest disappointment, Ray and Rashard did their part but the Sonics eventually succumbed to the Rockets due to a weak bench performance. The Bulls are coming off of a 97-84 thumping of Portland where Eddy Curry and Tyson Chandler were just short of double-doubles respectively. [/list] <ul> [*]The Sonics match up well with the Bulls, Reggie Evans should have the rebounding edge over Antonio Davis, Jerome James' improved play should provide a formidable opponent for Eddy Curry, Rashard Lewis is simply more talented than rookie Andres Nocioni, and the guards are capable of outplaying Chicago's guards. It all must come together on the court though, and this is a critical time for it to come together. [/list] * Useful/less stat of the day: I have been to 0 Sonic games this season. If you want to buy me tickets, send me some money. * Word of the Day: non compos mentis; adj: not having mastery of one's mind "While some may claim Danny Fortson is eccentric, others claim he is a non compos mentis character."
