Two Portland Trips and a Blackburn Tribute

January 27th, 2010 11:57 pm by Adam Brown

We needed a new thread so here’s a few things to discuss:

First, to repeat Camp Jones’ last post, here is a Bob Blackburn Tribute video that Sonicsgate editor Darren Lund put together using old photos and audio from the ‘79 Championship series:

R.I.P. to a legend.

Also, for anyone who wants to make a road trip south and all the Portland people who support our cause, we have two reasons to hit Rip City next month:

Tuesday, Feb 9th — OKC Blunder @ Portland Blazers  Wear your Supes gear and raise a ruckus like we did last year. Never let them forget. Game on!

Saturday, Feb 20th — Sonicsgate Portland Premiere Screening @ the Beer And Movies Festival! Tickets and Details here

Too busy to come down?  Don’t worry, we’ll be sure to ’sext’ you from Greg Oden’s phone.

KING5: Clay Bennett has agreed to pay $1.6 million to settle the claim.

Sad news.

Agent Zero

January 2nd, 2010 8:23 pm by Brian Robinson

I have to respect Eric E who is just too good of a friend and Sonics fan.

If it pains him to have the top headline be my moping insight then I am going to write a post about my boy Gilbert Arenas to bump that further down…

He was the free agent I really wanted the Sonics to sign in recent years. He is the guy I wanted to make a trade for, pick up as a free agent, anything. I just loved that he was so aggressive and fearless.

Its why I would make a lousy GM.

On the flip side my draft picks would be really solid.

Wish I had more to say about the NBA. Who can believe that the Hawks are so solid? Rick Sund? Genious? All he did was not really sign any new players or make any decisions and it is working out for him just like 05. Rick is tha man. He was going to be in town a few weeks ago. Can’t believe I missed him.
Durant is getting sick. 6 straight 30 point games. It hurts to think about.
