I'm not saying it means a whole lot, just that none of us really noticed last year that the Sonics really faded in the second half of the season before rallying in the playoffs. <BR/><BR/>Or, here's another way; Seattle's win totals since '01-'02:<BR/><BR/>45, 40, 37, 52, 35<BR/><BR/>Throw out last year's season, and it looks pretty clear that this team has been headed downhill for awhile. Not exactly the 5-year plan Howard Schultz had in mind, I'm guessing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-1146066709656992672006-04-26T08:51:00.000-07:002006-04-26T08:51:00.000-07:00"To me, it illustrates why Danny Fortson was the t..."To me, it illustrates why Danny Fortson was the team MVP last year.

In fact, if you look at their record month by month last year, they played great in November, great in December, and fair or worse the rest of the year. <BR/><BR/>Maybe the way the Sonics played the rest of the year - and not the way they played the first two months - indicated where this team was headed.<BR/><BR/>To me, it illustrates why Danny Fortson was the team MVP last year. While he was contributing - which only lasted until January, the Sonics were an elite team. When he started acting up and getting benched/injured, the Sonics fell back to the pack. Nate didn't have too much to do with it (unless you want to also give him credit for creating a .500 or worse team for the previous years as well, and for the horrific team in Portland this year).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-1146004219460546682006-04-25T15:30:00.000-07:002006-04-25T15:30:00.000-07:00I agree Lance, but remember Nate Macmillan didn't...I agree Lance, but remember Nate Macmillan didn't have ANYTHING to do with that, he just watched and said "wow look it's running all by itself". lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-1145993497452391862006-04-25T12:31:00.000-07:002006-04-25T12:31:00.000-07:00If past performance was an idicator of future perf...If past performance was an idicator of future performance, the Sonics would have won the championship this year considering their great play toward the end of last season (not to mention the beginning and middle).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-1145959101785088342006-04-25T02:58:00.000-07:002006-04-25T02:58:00.000-07:00I'm a little too drunk for an indepth response to ...I'm a little too drunk for an indepth response to this post. Perhaps later. My reason for coming to the SSS this eve is to ask if anyone has a link for a working torrent, or a copy they'd be willing to share, of the PHX/SEA double overtime 152-149 game from January. I think we could all stand to watch a good Sonics game right about now. Or some more respectable time of day. <BR/><BR/>CarlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-1145924464920528812006-04-24T17:21:00.000-07:002006-04-24T17:21:00.000-07:00I've never believed the notion that how you end on...I've never believed the notion that how you end one season has anything to do with how the next season will play out. It's pretty much a clean slate season to season. <BR/><BR/>The only thing the improved performance down the stretch did was sell a couple more season tickets, turn the 6th pick into the 10th pick, add a few $ to Wilcox's pocket, and delay Sikma becoming head coach for at least 30 more games.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-1145922422918864432006-04-24T16:47:00.000-07:002006-04-24T16:47:00.000-07:00Thanks for all the work that went into that post. ...Thanks for all the work that went into that post.
