I happened into Seattle just as the Save Our Sonics rally erupted. Unfortunately I only had my basketball telephoto lens but I got some interesting shots.

Well that sign is not going to make David Stern happy.

I'm guessing this is Gary Payton.

Clay must be making his quick getaway from the proceedings.

I got the feeling that this guy was looking forward to talking to Clay personally.

This is Xavier McDaniel. I know because I asked someone.

I guess they were telling campfire stories before the game.

Barb is back. Gosh, I hope she doesn't ruin it for us.
|

So they introduced the Sun's non-starters...

|

|

...and Barb got lots of cheers...
|
27.jpg
|

...but then nothing happened. We waited and waited. The Sun starters waited and waited...
|
29.jpg
...but eventually said the hell with it and sent the rest of their team out.

The Storm intros will have to wait for another day.

...a little too difficult.

I know one of you were supposed to be guarding Lindsay! There wasn't a screen for miles.

Tamika Raymond seemed to be having an animated discussion...
|

...ooops, don't mind the camera, Tamika. Keep on talking.

Swoopes got the rebound (uh, kind of a foul happening here)...
|

...but Lindsay isn't so sure.

One thing Lindsay is good at is shifting her weight around the defender after she gets airborne.
|
70.jpg
In the second half I remember standing for a very very long time.

Asjha got the rebound but she was nice enough to elbow Lindsay in the process.
|

We couldn't even keep the ball in our side of the court at times.

Katie is in trouble, but look at who she finds...
|
80.jpg
...Flo is totally wide open and the Sun stands there slack-jawed while she strolls to the basket...
|
81.jpg
...and completely blows the easy layup!

Here was a funny moment. LJ noticed that Tamika was in the wrong spot...
|
89.jpg
...LJ smiled and politely moved her by her shoulders to her correct spot...
|
90.jpg
...they both laughed about it.

Sorry folks. It was too little offense too late in the game.
