When it comes to the Sonics, there's something in the coffee in Seattle

Good morning, Seattle.

Time to wake up and smell your coffee.

Apparently you're having trouble understanding this whole SuperSonics relocation thing.

From where we're standing, it doesn't appear you're particularly fond of the NBA. Too bad, seeing how your franchise has been there since 1967.

You also don't seem too fond of us Okies, neither. Aw, heck, that's all right. We're used to it.

Charles Barkley poked fun at us awhile back and first thing we did was offer to throw him a parade. We're weird that way.

We're easy targets, still fighting our "Grapes of Wrath” reputation.

You guys got Starbucks, and we got Steinbeck.

Hardly seems fair, but we're OK (l-a-h-o-m-a).

We've been readin' what you you've been writin' about us these past few months.

Ya'll think we're nothing but a bunch of land-stealing, crop-dusting, bare-foot, chicken-ranch slumlords, living in shotgun houses with no running water.

But unlike you, we know how to treat an NBA franchise.

Just ask the New Orleans Hornets. They took to us pretty good for two seasons in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
