We Watch ‘em so You Don’t Have to: Sonics Lose
January 10th, 2008 by DamonAn outdated post from yesterday’s Buzzer Beater:
For the three or four of you who still care, last night was a sad display by the Supes, who turned the ball over 23 times, let Lebron James score all his points in the paint, and generally just stunk it up against Cleveland. To add injury to insult, Durant sprained his left ankle in fourth quarter garbage time (not to imply he shouldn’t be on the floor–more minutes for the kids, I say!). It’s not serious, but it’s fitting.
Today is New Jersey, another franchise that will soon be moving, albeit only across the river. As mediocre teams go, they’re pretty entertaining, with good ball movement, Jason Kidd’s nightly quest for the triple double, the somewhat diminished but still impressive aerial acrobatics of Richard Jefferson (4th in the league in scoring and having a career year) and Vince Carter, and the ridiculous athleticism of rookie Sean Williams, who dropped to the late first round because he smoked bud, the gateway drug to a draft day steal. Just don’t do the Meadowlands like the Birdman did N’awlins, Sean.
