Post-Sonics Watch
Feeling lost without your Seattle SuperSonics? Seattle-area NBA fans face their first season without an NBA team in 41 years. Primarily, our coverage here will focus on the City of Seattle’s attempt to bring the NBA back to Seattle. But we also will provide updates on the Portland Trail Blazers, the Oklahoma City Thunder and area players plying their trade for other teams in the NBA.

Eric Williams covered the Sonics' last season in Seattle. A Tacoma native, Eric graduated from Mount Tahoma High and the University of Puget Sound.

Keeping an eye on the NBA and Seattle's efforts to get back into the game

A slight change in the starting lineup tonight.

Nick Collison is still nursing a bruised shin, so Chris Wilcox will start in his place. So the starters now are as follows.

PG -- Earl Watson
SG -- Kevin Durant
SF -- Damien Wilkins
PF -- Chris Wilcox
C -- Robert Swift

Delonte West did not make the trip down tonight, and was examined by Dr. Richard Zorn today. According to Sonics PR guy Tom Savage, things went well and West could practice on Friday.

Carlesimo wasn't too concerned with Collison's injury. He knows what Nick can do, and is sitting Collison as more of a precaution.

Listen to more of Carlesimo's conversation here.

Nick's actually out here during pregame working on spot up jumpers and looks fine.

Petro will get some run at four tonight with Nick out.

Swift has been the focus of several interviews here as he returns to his hometown.

It should be interesting to see Durant against Kobe tonight. Initially Wilkins will start out on Kobe, but I'm sure Durant and Kobe will end up on each other at some point. That's all for now. I'll have a report after each quarter, and wrap it up at the end of the night.
