By Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman) The most fascinating storyline in Oklahoma City, one that will have ramifications for years to come and could very well determine the future of the Thunder, concerns Kevin Durant. Shortly after the Thunder--then known as the Seattle SuperSonics--drafted Durant, Coach P.J. Carlesimo announced that he planned to shift Durant from forward to shooting guard and I immediately expressed skepticism: Q: "In the early part of your NBA career you have predominantly been playing shooting guard but since Coach Brooks has taken over he has switched you to small forward. Tell me about that adjustment and what are some of the differences in playing those two positions. What is the advantage of having you at small forward?"   [read the full post]

Sonics coach P.J. Carlesimo said it's important for his team to get a good effort on the boards tonight from big guys like Johan Petro, Chris Wilcox and Nick Collison because Al Jefferson and Chris Richard are physical guys who attack the glass for Minnesota.

By Eric Williams Luke Ridnour will start in place of Earl Watson, who did not make the trip. And Nick Collison will start in place of Chris Wilcox, who is sick but in uniform and will play limited minutes. So the starting lineup is Ridnour, Kevin Durant, Jeff Green, Collison and Johan Petro.

Kevin Durant (Sonics) -  B+; Durant has been shooting poorly of late, but his overall numbers are about where I expected him.  As he gains confidence, strength and teammates who can take the defensive pressure off, his numbers will rise.

Seattle rookie Kevin Durant will start out defensively against Kobe Bryant, but expect to see Damien Wilkins, Delonte West and Jeff Green guarding Bryant as well, along with some zone or box-and-1. Durant actually guarded Bryant late in the game at Los Angeles in November.

IT'S OVER --- Final score: Cleveland 95, Sonics 79. Seattle tied their third-lowest scoring output of the season. Clearly, they've taken several steps backwards in their development. Aside from Durant and maybe Wally Szczerbiak (15 points and 8 rebounds) the Sonics had nobody who steppe...

By nospam@example.com (Seattle Sonics) Kevin Durant hasn't had a smooth ride since joining the NBA, but he also didn't expect one.

COLLISON BACK --- It didn't take Nick Collison long to get into the swing of things. After missing three games with a broken nose, the Sonics center scored after about a minute in the game. He's wearing a clear hard plastic mask that hasn't given him a problem yet.

Golden State (8-7) at Seattle (3-14) When:6 p.m., Key Arena, Seattle Scouting the Sonics: Seattle will start the same starting five of Delonte West (point guard), Kevin Durant (shooting guard), Damien Wilkins (small forward), Chris Wilcox (power forward) and Kurt Thomas (center).

By David Friedman In Miami, 4-11 is not the number you call for information but the record of the city's pro basketball team. At this rate, the Heat will be dialing 911 before long. While Shaquille O'Neal sails off into the sunset of his career, young Kevin Durant authored the best performance of his rookie season, scoring 35 points as the Sonics beat the Pacers 95-93 to claim their first home win of the season. Everyone is calling for Isiah Thomas' head but, as I've said all along, if Thomas would give "Starbury" the ax then he could prevent the blade from coming down on his own neck. Let's take a closer look at three of Friday night's games: The Score: Boston 95, Miami 85 The Score: Seattle 95, Indiana 93 The Score: New York 91, Milwaukee 88   [read the full post]

39-29 -- San Antonio’s rebound advantage of Seattle, including nine offensive rebounds, several of which came in critical moments of the game when the Sonics needed stops. It doesn’t get any easier for Seattle as they face the L.A. Lakers on the road on Tuesday.

1 -- Seattle rookie Kevin Durant’s first game winner as a Sonic. Heading into the second overtime Durant had not scored since the 6:51 mark of the third quarter. But Durant had five points in the second overtime, including the clutch, 3-pointer from the top of the circle over fellow rookie Al...

Seattle (0-8) at Miami (1-6) Collison, who finished with a team-high 15 points and six rebounds, said he’s looking to shoot the ball more on the perimeter when he has an open jumper. Listen to the Collison conversation here. Next: Friday at Atlanta, 4:30 p.m., Philips Arena.

54 -- The number of rebounds Seattle had as a team, not bad considering they were playing against Shaquille O’Neal. Miami’s beast in the middle was in foul trouble most of the night, however. Seattle outrebounded Miami 54-32. The Sonics will take tomorrow off.

Seattle (0-7) at Orlando (5-2) As far as the game, Van Gundy said the keys for Orlando will be controlling Seattle’s fast-break opportunities, limiting Kevin Durant and Chris Wilcox’s touches and keeping the Sonics off of the boards.

10 -- The number of 3-pointers Orlando made, as Seattle failed to bother the Magic perimeter scorers. Orlando’s Dwight Howard also had something to do with that, as Seattle had to double him inside. Howard finished with 13 points and 12 rebounds, his 13th straight double-double dating bac...

Robert Swift will continue starting, as Carlesimo likes getting Robert in the game early when his knee is looses. If Swift can’t go, Nick Collison will start at center. That means the starting lineup for Seattle tonight will be Luke Ridnour (PG), Kevin Durant (SG), Damien Wilkins (SF), Chr...

6 -- The number of players Seattle had in double figures, led by Kevin Durant’s 19 points. But with Seattle headed on a five-game road trip with stops in Orlando, Miami, Atlanta, Charlotte and Memphis, the Sonics will be hard-pressed to get their first win on the road.

Seattle will have to figure out how to contain Utah offensively if they want to avoid making franchise history tonight. A loss against the Jazz and Seattle ties the franchise record for consecutive losses to begin the season at 0-6, joining the 1969-1970 team in the record books. Utah is the...

Jazz coach Jerry Sloan told the Salt Lake Tribune that he's impressed with Sonics rookie Kevin Durant. The Desert News reports that Sloan is leaning towards assigning Durant to Andrei Kirilenko, Utah's 6-9 forward who was twice named to the NBA's All-Defensive first team.

21 -- The number of offensive rebounds Memphis had 52 -- The number of points in the paint for Seattle As in past games, Seattle had a 29-16 disparity in fouls, and Memphis outscored Seattle 25-17 from the free-throw line. And listen to Nick Collison and Kevin Durant talk about the game.

27 -- fastbreak points by Seattle This was pretty much a game Seattle had in the bag, but couldn't hang onto. Again, Seattle struggled to close it out. With Kevin Durant, Damien Wilkins and Chris Wilcox all missing shot late that would have kept Seattle in it.
