Sonics @ Kings Game Thread (GAME 4 )

Because he's Eddie house Brother! I know how you feel, I really do, but we just aren't as good a basketball team as we were before... no matter what Adelman does. Are you really going to put all your hopes in Eddie House? Man, how far have we fallen?

This comment confused me. I think I would have tried House instead of Bobby. Bobby had nothing tonight, why not try House as the sub instead of Bobby?

Let the rebuilding begin...

I hate to bring this up, but it started last summer when Vlade went to the Lakers. It continued when Doug went to Orlando and Chris went to Philly.

We are already well into the rebuilding mode. This isn't the final product by a long shot. In fact, I'd say we don't even have the foundation poured for sure...

There are going to be a LOT of changes.

Man...I knew the game was over before Ray ht that clinching three...We were sitting there (me and my dad) watchuing the game, and right before they inbound it, I say dully...

"It's over...You know Ray's hitting the shot. He hasn't done anything since his 40th point, at about the 10 minute mark."

My dad says something about me not being a fan, and blah blah blah...

He hit's the shot, and I'm all...

"See...I called it, unfortuantly..."

He just sat there in silence...

Vf, you want to put all your hopes in 2-3 years from now... thats fine. In fact it's very realistic. But you know better than almost anyone on this board how hard it is to build a team that can contend. It doesn't just happen, and when you trade off the pieces you need to get something in return, or it just ends. I hope your right and we can turn it around next year, or a couple of years from now, but in this league nothing is gauranteed, nothing.

Believe it or not but this team is not far off from "contending" with what they have. They just need that extra something.

They sure looked like it tonight... didn't you say they were going to blow Seattle out this series?? Keep telling yourself they will be fine... it will make it all better I swear.

Ray was amazing last night, he has always been a big time player performer. He came up big when we needed him to.

game 5 will be huge.

I for one don't think this series is over and neither should any Kings fans. You keep believing until nothing else is left.

There are, and I look forward to the changes & seeing a new TEAM emerge, because last night those guys didn't look like a cohesive team. It was hard to watch, because although I do believe that this team isn't a championship team, I know they are more talented than they showed last night.

And, one concern I have is that this rebuilding is happening at the worst possible time for the whole arena situation. If there was very little arena support for a team that had championship potential, where does that leave us now?
