Bad Time to be a Sonics Fan

This has been a very exciting season for the Seattle Sonics. Frankly, they were supposed to suck, but somehow emerged as one of the league's best teams.

Now they drew an unlucky second-round foe: the mighty San Antonio Spurs.

But those Seattle faithful, including my friend Ben, they are believers.

So Ben got all excited to watch game on one Mother's Day. But somehow he mixed up the time and turned on the TV to learn that the game was already over. And game one of that series has to rank as one of the worst in Sonics history. Not only did the Sonics lose badly, but they also had their star, and another key player both sprain their ankles in the first half.

Hard to imagine how that could go worse, for Ben or the Supes.

The only thing left to hope for: some kind of seige mentality inspiring the team to great heights. It could happen.
