Yeah, from what I saw the crowd looked great. Especially for a Tuesday night game. I didn't see enough of the game to get a shot of the upper level to see if there was some fan creep going on but everyone was on their feet and cheering. Durant sure is cold blooded. It's like he lives for taking those game winning/tieing shots. That's something you can't teach.

Fun game. People did look pretty excited.

I still hate Manu Gi-baldy.

Wilkins was injured (flu)...good to see West back in there though.
Kwame Brown is servicable, get over it.

Man, last night was awesome. It was funny to watch the players after the game..they looked like they had just won a playoff game. They finally did it. It took 29 days but we finally got our first win of the year.

Is it me or do the Spurs look pretty vulnerable without Tony Parker?

Sonics hound when Ridnour let go of the ball I almost crapped my pants thinking oh no here it comes the Sonics find a way to lose when the game is sealed.

I'd like to point out how even a championship team can be beat when you play with a back up point guard. And how the level of play drops off significantly.

Derrick Rose will make the Sonics at least twice as good next year.

So I'm thinking 20 wins this season. 40 next season.

Hats off to Petro for really bringing the energy, keep it up kid.

Also Durantula had a huge line last night and an efficient one too.

26pts on 9-19fg% only 1-4 from the 3pt line, but also had 7rebs and 5dimes, 1stl, 1blk and 1turnover.

Here's a look at the future people^^^^^^^

Great to finally get the win!
Helluva pick from Thomas to get Durant wide open for the winner.
