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

Seattle coach P.J. Carlesimo said he'll go with the same starting lineup tonight against Houston, with Earl Watston at point guard, Kevin Durant at shooting guard, Jeff Green at small forward, Nick Collison at power forward and Kurt Thomas at center.

However, Carlesimo said he may got to the bench earlier to get Wally Szczerbiak in the game. Szczerbiak has been playing well lately, averaging 18.8 points a contest in his last five games.

Durant, who struggled against Dallas on Saturday, finishing with six points on 3-of-12 shooting, will have another tough match up tonight, with Houston's Shane Battier matching up with Durant defensively.

Seattle native and Houston rookie Aaron Brooks has been getting more playing time for the Rockets.

As the second point guard off the bench, Brooks is averaging 5.7 points, 1.9 assists in 13.2 minutes. Brooks scored a career-high 22 points against the New York Knicks, shooting 4-of-5 from the 3-point line.

Seattle Sonics general manager Sam Presti and Sonics chairman Clay Bennett are in attendance.

I'll be doing a mid-season evaluation of the sonics sometime this week. But for those looking for an outside perspective, The Oklahoman has a mid-point evaluation by reporter Darnell Mayberry.
