Sonics Open Pre-Season Tonight Against Minnesota

Woops, not the Sonics, but the Oklahoma City Thunder, which ESPN's John Hollinger has already proclaimed the league's worst nickname. Hollinger also thinks that Jeff Green had a crappy rookie season, in spite of the fact that he made the All-Rookie Team, and that the Supes...er, Thunder will go 20-62 (again) this year. Not that we care anymore or anything. If we cared, we'd have realized before five minutes ago that the Sup...Thunder acquired mega-stiff Joe Smith in the off-season. Anyhoo, if you're up for something of a spontaneous road trip in the air (tipoff's at 6 our time), you can hope a jet to Billings, Montana tonight to heckle Carlesimo and the boys.
