Softy H1 - Be bigger than the hatred / The Opening Day starter decision needs to be made soon / Terry's Sports Walk of Shame: Rick Pitino

Summary: Obviously we're still angry about the way the NBA treated this city ten years ago, but if there's even a slight possibility that a strong showing at this exhibition game helps bring back the Sonics, we need to do everything we can to make it happen. Let's be bigger than the hate if for no other reason than we have no choice. The decision on Paxton vs. Felix starting Opening Day really needs to be made soon to prevent this debate from growing. Paxton is the better player right now, so it should probably be him, but either way it isn't going to make that big of a difference. Rick Pitino wants Louisville to sue the NCAA, even as Louisville is being investigated by the FBI for a completely separate issue. Pitino should probably stop talking.
