will we ever win?

Sixers lose

There hasn't been a Sixers post since they started their season. Guess what? They lost again tonight. But unlike the Flyers they're only a game out of first - that's how bad the East is and why I don't watch the NBA much at all. It's really, really bad basketball. And because the NBA has the worst salary cap/guaranteed contract set up of all the leagues, teams will stay horrible for years and years. And the Sixers, lucky them, have the poster child or all that's wrong with the league - 20 million dollar man Webber who, when he's not hurt, gets the most meaningless and hollow double doubles of any player in history. A guy that moves sideways like he's wearing 100 pound cross country skis and his shoelaces are tied to together. He's not much better getting up and down the court either. He even makes Rathje look fast and athletic, so much so Michael Irvin was going on about how Rathje's great-great-great-great-grandma must have run over to the hood and something went down.

This winter is going to be a long one. Maybe they'll put ice barrel jumping and motorcycles racing on ice in the winter X-games so I'll have something to watch.
