Last season, Sonics fans grew accustomed to PJ Carlesimo’s incompetence. His timeouts were the depressingly predictable: he’d call the team to the sideline, walk to the three point line with his assistants, furiously scribble on a white board for over a minute and get back to the team with about 5 seconds left. Meanwhile, Durant and Green (rookies that could use some guidance) spent their timeouts last season the same way we did: wondering how young the littlest boom squad member was. Kevin: "Do you think he’s a midget?"
Jeff: "No way, he’s a kid. Look at the size of his head… it’s well-proportioned."
Kevin: "So he’s some kind of breakdancing prodigy?"
Jeff: "Well, he’s good, but I wouldn’t call him a… what’s that coach? Ok, inbound to Earl, let him dribble down the clock and take a fade away three? Got it… BREAK!"
While his incompetence is familiar; bravado is something new. On Monday, the former Sonics held their NBA-mandated open practice. For some damn reason, PJ predicted 15,000 attendees… 3,000 showed up. I’m not sure what the hell he was thinking, since this team had trouble pulling 15,000 to a Laker game in Seattle.
Meanwhile, Kevin got the cover of sports illustrated, inexplicably sporting some high school uniform. I hate everything.

What's the over/under on games before Earl Watson starts complaining about playing time? 45? 50?
Feel the THUNDER!
