After an amazing season that has me believing in the Seattle Supersonics again, I have now finally become skeptical and am admitting defeat?For Now.

In the first two games of this Western Conference Semifinal versus the powerhouse San Antonio Spurs the Sonics have lost each game in the first 8 minutes. And the whole injury thing, well anybody who was watching Game 1 could tell that the Sonics were done regardless of the injuries suffered by both Allen and Radmanovic. The Spurs were in complete control from the opening tip and you could see it in their eyes.

The Sonics could win this series but it seems very unlikely at this point. Right now I would settle for a few wins. A couple of wins would cap a fantastic season. A season that saw a team picked to finish last in the Northwest division pretty much seal up that very same division before the All-Star break after taking an insurmountable lead early on. I do not want to get into the whole free-agent dilemma, all I know is this team is primed to make another run at the Finals next year. These young Sonics will be one year older and with that playoff tested and hungry for revenge.

They can start with a win tomorrow night in Seattle.
