Caught on Tape!

Here is the laugh-out-loud funny video of the Smackdown in Seattle last night (courtesy of ESPN). Check out Dooling's daring attempt to sneak into the Sonics locker room to lie in wait for Ray-Ray. He's like a ninja or something!

It brings back fond memories of the epic Xavier McDaniel vs. Wes Mathews fight in the 1980's. Remember that picture of X-man choking the life out of Mathews (which Nussbaum had lamenated on his Pee-Chee in high-school) and Mathews' famous "Your bald head is mine!" quote?

Sigh. You know your team is struggling when the highlight of the season is a 10-second slap-fight.

Berserker!

"You shall soon feel my wrath, Mr. Dooling!"

Don't mess with Ray-Ray.

After receiving one too many hard fouls from Keyon Dooling, Ray Allen turned into Chuck Norris, putting the beat-down on Key-Doo. The fight spilled into the stands and looked eerily like last year's Artest Fest. Luckily, this is Seattle and we are all pussies, so the fisticuffs ended quickly.

Inspired by Raging Ray, the Sonics went on to beat the Magic 113-104, leading by as many as 20 points in the second half.

Rashard Lewis carried the team with 45 points, while Lil' Frodo chipped in with 23 points, including 4-4 from three-point range.

Magic trick for struggling Supes?

The stumbling Sonics, losers of four out of their last five games, take on the equally stumbly Magic, who have also lost four of five, at 7pm tonight at the Key. Something’s gotta give, folks!
