Sonics Dance Team Profile: Staci

This week's Sonics Dance Team girl is the lovely Staci. I've actually met Staci through a promotion at Pizza Hut. She and another Dance Team member delivered me a pizza one Sunday afternoon. Talk about a big surprise. I just got done taking three giant bong hits when the doorbell rang. When I opened up the door I had no clue what was going on. Two pretty girls wearing Sonics green and Gold were handing me my meatlovers and breadsticks. I ran upstairs and grabbed my camera and the pic is below.

I also know a couple friends at work that know Staci. They tell me that she lives a sort of double-life. I don't want to start any rumors, but again what kind of fake-ass journalist would I be if I didn't. Word on the street is that she loves a little injection of H. A friend of my friend at work actually supplied her with her stuff. Whatever she's taking, it works. She's a firecracker!

Agent 0 is clutch

I was excited last night to be able to watch Gilbert Arenas play against the Sonics last night. I wanted to see Ray Allen and Agent 0 go at each other. That didn't happen because Allen sat out due to inflammation in his ankle. But Arenas didn't disappoint. He was a one man show pouring in 42 points including a running bank shot at the buzzer to sink the Sonics. I got the shot on video and here it is:


My question is why didn't the Sonics choose to double Arenas on that last possession? I think it has to do with the fact that coach Bob Hill is an idiot. This from the Seattle Times:

"Sonics coach Bob Hill said he didn't want to double-team Arenas to get the ball out of his hands, because Arenas could have passed to an open player."

So let me get this right. You would rather have the best player on the court take the last shot? That makes no sense. You have to make someone other than Arenas beat you. Hill will be looking for a new job soon.

National Title Hopes vs. Money & Bitches

Spencer Hawes has a big decision to make. If he stays at UW for another year, they instantly become a Final Four contender. If he chooses to declare for the NBA Draft, he'll instantly become a millionaire. After my freshman year in college, the big choices I had to make were either McDonald's for dinner or drink the six pack of PBR in the fridge for dinner. And I usually chose the latter.

If the Huskies weren't my favorite CBB team, I really wouldn't care. But they are, so damnit its important. The way I see it, there is a clear choice that Hawes needs to make. He can stay at UW and be BMOC and fornicate with many beautiful college coeds. Or he can cash in on millions of dollars and fornicate with many beautiful NBA groupies.

I did some research on his possible draft position. I went to 10 draft prediction sites. Here's Hawes' position in each site's draft board:

1) NBADraft.net #11
2) HoopHype.com #6
3) Hoopsvibe.com #5
4) insidehoops.com #14
5) Chad Ford ESPN #8
6) mynbadraft.com #6
7) collegehoops.net #5
8) draftexpress.com #7
9) draftdaddy.com #4
10) hoopsaddict.com #16

Word is that Hawes will bail for the NBA if he is a solid top 10 pick. The average draft position of the 10 sites is around #8. Not looking too good for Dawg fans. What would be my advice to Hawes?

As a Husky fan:
Stay. The money will be there next year. You will be a top three pick next year. Also the Dawgs have a legit chance to make it to the Final Four with you on the roster. Think of all the hot college girls hanging all over you.

As a man:
Get your money. You could blow your knee out at anytime. Top 10 picks get big money guaranteed. Don't be an idiot. And you will get just as much tail or more in the league.
