Post Game Quote - Kevin Durant
"Tonight, we were out played by a team that's alot more experienced than ours, and I don't think any of us (the Sonics) are disappointed. Coming up against a side like Denver in the first game is usually tough, but I think we've taken it as something as a learning experience. Players like Melo (Carmelo Anthony) and AI (Alan Iverson) are great players, and they piled something like 80 points on us. But, the way I view it is that if we can compete with Melo and AI, then there's no reason that we can't compete with Kobe and LeBron. Of course, a win would have been great, but as I said, we're not disappointed."

The Sonics are defunct. Your recaps are decent enough. The first post is kind of messy, as is your recap, but it is serviceable. Average start. Interesting to see if you continue.

Good job with the recap but you should replace those large pictures (Highlights video instead of pictures, boxscore link instead of pictures...). Just a suggestion.
