You guys reading my posts, I could almost hear your voices "Clutch, your all over the board and the analysis is not reflecting the games."
I hear ya. Keep in mind I've been around the block and I'm nowhere close to throwing in the towel. I'm going to play through it.

Here's a Old School capping selection for today.
Sonics didn't look Super 2 games ago. How much can change in that short span? Sonics played their best game this season at Boston and there's more room to get better. Specifically their defense needs to improve.
This team was challenged by Weiss, he read the stats to his team - defensive field goal percentage, last in league most points scored against, rebounding percentage - all areas Sonics excelled last season. They still allowed 51.9% shooting to Boston, but contained it to the secondary players, Davis and Pierce, for 43 combined points. On the offense Sonics was solid with 50.6% shooting and dominant 17 offensive boards, Collison was on terror taking down 8 of 17 and 31 assists. I'm also happy to see a solidified starting lineup of Collison at power forward and rookie Johan Petro at center alongside guards Luke Ridnourand Ray Allen and small forward Rashard Lewis.
Bulls are defensive minded after holding their opponents to .422 shooting last season they are currently 7th holding opponents to .431 shooting and .290 from 3 point range (4th best) and Sweetney is a monster.
Chicago has dropped 7 of the last 12 meetings against Seattle including 7 straight at United Center. Bulls last win did come at Key Arena last season.
Rolling with the Sonics fading Bulls West Coast Gauntlet.


SEA -3 at -110 for 4 units(W)
CHI/SEA UNDER 198.5 at -105 for 2 units(W)

Just what the doctor ordered. Take 2 wins and call him in the morning for Saturday's winner.
2-0 +6.00 units
