Although there seems to be a RAY of hope laugh Lets not forget that the lakers were without Shaq much of the game, portland has only won one game on the road this year and they are not the same caliber team as in years past,the Kings are without Webber plus flew in to town three hours before the game and the week before blew the sonics outby thirty one points! Now I dont want to rain on the parade but the sonics have a long way to go before i jump on that band wagon!! But I cant wait for it to happen, they have the right start and it is exciting to see them win these games anyways!!Make sure to buy starbuck so they have the $$ to get some more talent!!!! beer GO SONICS!!!!!
