There is a God

I woke up on Saturday morning (actually it was a little after noon) excited to begin my day of nothing, a.k.a. sitting on the couch all day, watching my teams that were in action. It began at 1230, with the Caps hosting the Kings, and Maryland at B.C. at 1. The Caps put together another home dud, and I missed the only goal they scored. Maryland's tourney chances took a severe hit with a loss as well. Bad start to the day, but I at least had the Wiz at 8, hosting the league best Spurs. The Wiz game was over rather quickly, and thus concluded my 0-3 day in sports. Not to mention the Skins made the headlines with Brandon Banks getting stabbed and Fatty getting officially charged with assault. Typical.

Sunday brought about a new glimpse of promise, with the Wiz realistically having their first great chance to win away from home. A loss to the lowly Cavs to extend the streak may have been too much to handle, but the Wiz did not disappoint. They came out with a ton of energy and never looked back.

Pop the Champagne. Poor it all over Andray Blatche. The woeful Wiz have won a road game, and in the process put the Cavaliers in their own league of futility. The Cavs ended their losing streak just before the Wiz came to town, only to see the Wiz celebrate road win number one.

The last laugh has to go to Flip Saunders, who has got to have lost many years of his life enduring this painful season.
