Game Night #21

Nussbaum is currently being smuggled into the country from Canada to attend tonight's Sonics game against the Boston Celtics, and since I'm too much of a lazy-ass to write the pre-game stats, I'll direct your inquires to The World's Greatest Celtics Blog.

Sonic Nation

I'm beginning to think that this blog has become redundant, inasmuch as the internet sports world has become so enamored with the Sonics.

To wit:
1. ESPN has not 1, not 2, but 3 articles/votes on the Sonics.
Here, here, and here.

2. Bill Walton, or as I like to call him, "The Idiot," talked up the Sonics on his weekly NBA chat.

3. Fox Sports ranks Seattle 3rd in the league in its Power Rankings.

These are heady days, my friends.

Sonics dump Dallas, 107-102

The Sonics beat the Mavericks in Dallas last night, 107-102. It was almost an exact replay of Wednesday's victory over the Spurs: Go up big in the first half, blow lead in the third, deliver knock-out late in the fourth:

DALLAS (AP) -- Rashard Lewis refused to let the Seattle SuperSonics give away a game they'd dominated.

The small forward erased a fourth-quarter deficit then protected the lead with a high-flying baseline dunk, a 3-pointer as the shot clock expired and two free throws with 18.5 seconds to go in a 107-102 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night.

One night after becoming the first team this season to win in San Antonio, Seattle won its fourth straight and ninth in 10 games to reclaim the NBA's best record at 17-3.
