Keeping an eye on the NBA and Seattle's efforts to get back into the game
Sunday, November 11th, 2007

0-7 -- This year’s team now holds the franchise record for losses at the beginning of the season, eclipsing the 0-6 mark by the 1969-70.

32 -- The number of points for Richard Hamilton, as Seattle really had no answer for the smooth-shooting swingman defensively.

6 -- The number of players Seattle had in double figures, led by Kevin Durant’s 19 points.

19:27 -- The amount of time center Kurt Thomas played in his first regular season action. Thomas will make a major impact at the end of games if he can continue to stay healthy.

0 -- The number of minutes Earl Watson played, as he moves to the bench and Luke Ridnour will start now for the time being.

Boxscore -- Check it out here.

Durant watch -- Kevin Durant finished 19 points, six rebounds and two assists on 7-of-20 shooting from the field. He’s playing better at the end of games and figuring some things out. It was nice to see him get inside a bit more tonight.

Overheard -- Wally Szczerbiak complained about a foul call in the second quarter, saying, “I didn’t touch him,” to the official. Detroit bench player and soon-to-be assistant coach Lindsey Hunter shot back, “Yeah, you did touch him Wally.”

Did you see that? -- Jeff Green had a nice block on ex-Sonic Flip Murray’s dunk attempt, starting a fastbreak the other way with Szczerbiak hitting a 15-footer.

E-Dub’s take -- A weird game. It really looked like Seattle would get blown out of this one. But the Sonics showed some resiliency by battling back in the second half. Kurt Thomas really showed that he can make a difference for Seattle in close games, and Jeff Green had another solid night, finishing with 17 points and eight rebounds.

But with Seattle headed on a five-game road trip with stops in Orlando, Miami, Atlanta, Charlotte and Memphis, the Sonics will be hard-pressed to get their first win on the road.

Listen to Carlesimo’s breakdown of the game here. And Kurt Thomas talks about getting his first regular-season run.
