Keeping an eye on the NBA and Seattle's efforts to get back into the game
Thursday, December 25th, 2008

After resurrecting the moribund Sonics and taking them to the NBA Finals in 1978, Lenny Wilkens was named the News Tribune's male sports figure of the year. Better things yet were ahead in 1979.
They never got a victory for Christmas.
When it came time to tip off on Dec. 25, the Seattle SuperSonics seemed to play under the curse of Ebenezeer Scrooge.
In their 41 seasons, the Sonics played 11 times on Christmas Day. They lost every time.
That blue trend held even during the most glorious season in franchise history, as the San Diego Clippers dropped the Sonics to 0-7 on Christmas games with a 123-118 victory at the Kingdome on Dec. 25, 1978.
