Drawing Dead
I'm on the "Wizards Wire" email list. I just got an update from the team: "Wizards Clinch Third Straight Playoff Berth." Indeed, indeed. Sure, they've lost six straight games. Sure, it'd take a minor miracle to actually win a playoff game. But, hey, we clinched. The tragedy of it is that just before the Butler and Arenas injuries, I reserved playoff seats so then after the injuries I found myself hoping that somehow Indiana would do well enough to force the zards out of the playoffs, saving me some money and getting the team a lottery pick. Those are going to be some depressing games. I'm hoping to play Toronto, since they're a badly underexposed team and I'd like a chance to see them. Chicago I wouldn't mind. Miami, Detroit, and (especially) Cleveland I've all seen live a bunch of times and are on television constantly.
