Good topic. They are playing extremely well and at a week or two ago most people could say it could be a fluke but I'm here to say my sonics are for real! They are beating the top teams in the league on the road and are perfect so far at home. Everyone knows that its easier to win at home so when you are able to go on the road and beat teams like the Spurs, Mavericks, TWolves, and the Nuggets it says alot right there.They always had talent with Ray Allen, Rashard Lewis, and Radmonavich there's no denying that. But their success so far has a lot to do with the help they are getting from Ridnour, Reggie Evans, and Fortson. IMO Fortson is the X factor on this team. When he is on the court it changes their style of play. He brings the physical toughness that they lacked in the paint for so long. He is a lose cannon though because he gets into foul trouble almost everynight and can get stupid technical fouls but when he is on the floor the sonics do real well which translates in W's. Now if only we can get Collison to come around and replace him with Jerome James....what a waste of space.
