Breaking up is hard to do....

I feel like a jilted ex-boyfriend. My girl dumped me, moved out of town and now her new boyfriend showers her with affection and love. Yes, I miss her. Especially tonight when I see her out with her new man. My ex? The team formerly known as the Seattle Supersonics.

They tipped off tonight in their new ugly uniforms with their new ugly fans. Whenever I feel overcome with sadness, I find it helpful to put together a list of things I don't miss.
  • Earl Watson - Stop me Sonics fans if this line looks familiar. 3/9, 8 pts, 4 assists and the team was a minus 16 with the "Pearl" on the floor.
  • Bad losses - In front of what was undoubtedly a sell-out crowd, the TFKATSS (squint your eyes and that looks like fat-ass) lost to a Milwaukee team playing a second night in a row. Not only did they lose, they scored 14 points in the first quarter and were down 15 at halftime. PJ, the master motivator, strikes again.
  • Helping to pad the other team's stats - I remember watching Raymond Felton play against the Sonics last year and this usually mediocre guy looked like an All-Star. Absolutely unstoppable. He dropped 23 and 6 and hit the game-winning shot. Tonight's Raymond Felton? Charlie Villanueva, who dropped 20 and 12. (He averaged 12 and 6 last year.)
So why do I miss them? I'm not sure. I just do.

Yeah, but your ex still has lots of flaws and her new boyfriend won't put up with her great personality forever.

I don't think my problem is with my ex. It's her pimp that I really can't stand.

Her pimp won't be able to hold on to her either.
