RIP: Seattle Supersonics

I'm still reeling from the Sonics leaving Seattle news that finalized yesterday afternoon. Adande mentions that the team is willing to leave the SuperSonics' name, colors and history behind -- with owner Clay Bennett said "I was always amenable ... to reserving the name for Seattle fans." Even that quote pisses me off. Basically he's admitting that he wanted to leave all along. I haven't really hated many people in my life. Clay Bennett is one of them.

With the gavel finally coming down on the side of the franchise, now I have a seemingly unthinkable decision on whether to follow the surprisingly well-run Blazers squad down South in Portland. Did anyone see the draft? I loved me some Jerryd Bayless, even thinking the Sonics messed up by picking Westbrook over Bayless at #4. Everyone praised them for picking Rush, but then they upgraded their point guard position (the only noticeably weak link on their team) with the draft day deal.

The memories of my favorite team will remain. Unfortunately, so will the pain of that team leaving thanks to a shady back room deal between David Stern and Clay Bennett. What a douche. I want to pul an X-man and strangle them both. I'm feeling myself moving towards the darkside with these events. Hate leading to anger and all...
