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

A few things before tipoff.

Robert Swift will get his first start of the year. Seattle coach P.J. Carlesimo said he wants to get Swift in the game early while he's still loose.

Nick Collison will still see about the same minutes tonight, and will probably sub in early in the first quarter.

Delonte West also will get more run at the shooting guard spot tonight, which means Luke Ridnour will backup Earl Watson at point guard.

I think Carlesimo likes West at the shooting guard more, particularly if he shooting guard matchup isn't as physical.

Kurt Thomas will have an MRI on his strained right hamstring and is not available tonight.

Listen to the full conversation with Carlesimo here.

Sacramento's Spencer Hawes, a University of Washington product, is close to being able to get back on the floor. The No. 10 overall pick, Hawes had minor knee surgery in October and should practice for Sacramento tomorrow.

Delonte at the 2 seems to fit a lot better especially if Luke is back healthy. It seems to me to be only a matter of time before Luke and Green are getting a lot more minutes.
