If you're from Seattle, you're not going to want to read this. You're not going to want to read that the city's oldest professional sports franchise is as good as gone. You're not going to want to read that your efforts to keep the team, while valiant, are a case of too little, too late. You're not going to want to read that the NBA considers the lawsuit you filed to try and force the Sonics to honor their lease at KeyArena (which runs through the 2009-10 season) little more than a nuisance. You're not going to want to read that you're not going to win, that hitching your wagon to a series of leaked e-mails that may or may not prove that Sonics owner (and Oklahoma City native) Clay Bennett intended to move the team from the start -- which would violate the sales agreement -- isn't much of a case. And even if you win, you're only prolonging the inevitable. You're not going to want to hear that you should just accept Bennett's $26.5 million settlement offer and move on.
SEATTLE -- On their way out the door, the young SuperSonics upended the Mavericks 99-95 on Sunday night, but the celebrating ended as soon as it began. What had been won, really? A victory in their worst season on the court; a meaningless evening amid the bigger scheme.
Underrated: Oklahoma. Most prognosticators have already written off the Sooners after a soul-crushing, three-game losing streak. Not me. I like that the players will have had 12 days to stew over the program's worst defeat in years, a first-round loss to Missouri in the opening round of the Big 12 tournament. What's changed? "Fresh air. Clear heads. Deep breaths," says Oklahoma coach Sheri Coale. "A chance to look at what we are and what we've done, what we're capable of and what the possibilities are -- and what's missing and how to find it and how to put it back together." Remember, this is a team that beat No. 2-seeded Texas A&M by 12 points last month, and lost to Tennessee by three in November. They still have the nation's most dominant offensive player (Courtney Paris) and a coach who has won big in the postseason.
