There's a lot of people milling around that you don't normally see during the year with the potential of this game being perhaps the last one in Sonics history.
However, everyone that I've talked to remains strangely optimistic that the team will be around for at least for another year.
Who knows? Maybe there's a lot of people out there in denial.
On the court, the only change in Seattle's lineup is Johan Petro for Francisco Elson. So Earl Watson, Kevin Durant, Jeff Green and Nick Collison will start alongside Petro.
Starters for Dallas are Jason Kidd, Jason Terry, Josh Howard, Dirk Nowitzki and Erick Dampier.
ESPN is in town doing a piece for Outside the Lines. They talked to Brian Robinson of Save Our Sonics, and I also grabbed Brian for a few minutes to get his take on this possibly being the last game of the year.
Like everybody else, Brian believes the team will still be around. Listen to the conversation with Brian here.
Dallas owner Mark Cuban also made the trip with his team, and addressed the Seattle-area media, basically saying again that he will vote against the Sonics relocating at the owners meeting in New York. You can listen to the conversation with Cuban here.
Kevin Durant offers his thoughts on the final home game of the season here.
