Probably Seattle’s best quarter of basketball all preseason. The Sonics outscored Cleveland 28-17 in the quarter. Jermaine Jackson, Kevin Durant, Jeff Green, Nick Collison and Johan Petro started to open the second half, and the Sonics exploded to a 12-point lead with 8:35 left in the third…

The Sonics have played solid so far, with Chris Wilcox (12 points) and Wally Szczerbiak (11 points) leading Seattle offensively. Szczerbiak continues to prove that he can score, not only hitting open jump shots but creating his own shot as well. And Wilcox is doing a nice job of running the…

After falling behind by seven points early the Sonics battled back to tie the game at 24-all, but trailed by two at the end of the first. Seattle seems to be rebounding the ball better, outrebounding the Cavs 16-12. Seattle also outscored the Cavs in the paint 14-10. A matchup you probably…

The 2007-2008 NBA Season is quickly approaching and the Southwest Division is up next for the 2nd annual NBA Blog Previews. The only Southwest flights that matter land in OAK, SFO, or SJC. I don't think too many people will argue with me that the Southwest Division is the best…

In the question of who's playing or not, I'd assume everyone who's a 'maybe' is likely out, because...why not?

I forgot to mention the Sonics chairman Clay Bennett is in Cleveland for the game, and watched the team go through practice sitting along side Sonics general manager Sam Presti. Also, storm play-by-play radio Broadcaster Alan Horton has taken a similar job doing play-by-play for Minnesota's NBA…

Stray thoughts on a 0-2 Bobcats preseason: Raymond Felton is shooting 4-of-16 combined in the first two exhibitions. Remember, he took the most shots on this team last season, while failing to make 40 percent from the field. You do...

The sweet taste of victory. (Illustrated by Tony.psd exclusively for GSoM!) So many things went down during the NBA 2007 playoffs for the Dubz that I don't even know where to begin. Highlight after highlight, the Bay Area came together and showed the world that "We Believed."…

jon abbey Said: Mike, can you do a piece on the roster situation? I read that Houston takes them to 20 guys, do we have a list of them somewhere? when do they have to cut that to 15, by opening night? Sure thing Jon. And I do believe we have to cut the roster to 15 [...]

I know, I know, I know. It's only the preseason and the preseason means absolutely nothing, but after getting owned by the Fakers and Ebok all of last season, man it feels good to finally beat the Lakers- even if it's not in the continental United States! Preview/ Open Thread (200+…
