We Love the Sonics!

Until the Seahawks went to Super Bowl XL, the young Seattle sports fans who reside in El Casa came closest to sniffing championship glory with the SuperSonics. In the glory days of Payton and Kemp, the Supes were regularly among the best teams in the league. They even took the Bulls to six games in the 1996 NBA Finals (We stood outside Key Arena with hilarious signs).

We would like to thank the Sonics for all these wonderful memories by inviting them to move to Las Vegas, Boise, Spokane, San Diego, or any other city that will take them.

It's not that we don't still love the Sonics--rather we're not in love with them anymore. Not since Brandon Roy got picked up by the Portland Trailblazers. We used to hate those guys. First for beating the Sonics regularly, then for having a very hatable roster.

Now the Blazers have Roy, former Seattle Prep star Martell Webster, and Dan Dickau, who we started to like at UW before he transferred to Gonzaga. The icing on the cake is coach Nate MacMillan, aka Captain Mac, who earned our affection over 19 years as a player and coach with the Sonics. Needless to say, we're a gettin' the vapors!
