From Wages of Wins, here are the total Wins Produced (WP) for the Sonics’ roster thus far this season.
Player, overall NBA rank, WP, WP/48 min.
Kurt Thomas (38), 5.0, .302
Nick Collison (48), 4.4, .201
Chris Wilcox (129), 2.0, .097
Earl Watson (144), 1.5, .066
Wally Szczerbiak (161), 1.1, .055
Delonte West (263), 0.1, .004
Luke Ridnour (325), -0.2, -.019
Johan Petro (355), -0.3, -.036
Robert Swift (383), -0.4, -.250
Damien Wilkins (386), -0.4, -.020
Mickael Gelabale (395), -0.5, -.127
Kevin Durant (424), -1.0, -.037
Jeff Green (442), -2.1, -.100
Out of 446 players, Jeff Green ranked 442nd. Of the bottom five players, three are from Europe (Bargnani, Nachbar, Pavlovic) and two attended prestigious American universities (Green/Georgetown and Jason Collins/Stanford). The moral? Don’t bother saving your pennies for putting your kid into a private university or sending him to Europe!

News for Thursday
- LBJ may not be in action tonight when the Sonics take on Cleveland at the Key. He apparently injured his ankle in the second quarter, then managed to come back and drop 17 in the 4th quarter as the Cavs topped the Blazers in Portland, once again proving that the Blazers suck eggs and the Sonics are the true champ.... oh, never mind.
- Jeff Green and Kevin Durant will be on the Rookie Team in the Rookie Challenge at the All-Star Festivities next month. Sadly, Mo Sene was not extended an invite to the Sophomore Team.
- The Sonic win against the Spurs came at a cost, as Chris Wilcox (elbow), Damien Wilkins (flu), Wally Szczerbiak (ankle, hair), Nick Collison (grit), and Kurt Thomas (everything) missed practice on Wednesday. Somewhere in Idaho, Mickael Gelabale is uttering curse words in French.

14? A Distant Memory
Unbelievable. Well, considering the Spurs were A) without Tony Parker and B) coming off a 2-game losing streak, perhaps a little more believable, but still, who among you expected a Sonic win last night?
crickets chirping
That's what I thought. Some crazy stats from the win over San Antonio, including some gruesome shooting numbers from point guards.
Some other nuggets to chew on:
- The Spurs are 9-9 this year when one of their Big 3 is injured
- S.A. is 11-13 in its past 24 games
- Earl Watson was 0 for 8
- Jeff Green managed 1 assist, 0 rebounds, 0 points, 4 missed shots, and 1 foul in 20 minutes
- Seattle committed 6 turnovers. 6!
Well, in a year full of horrible news and horrible games, last night was a bright spot for sure. Durant hits a game-winning shot, Tim Duncan is miserable, Tony Parker doesn't play ... hey, what's not to like!
