As the NBA season draws closer, it seems everyone with access to a computer is tossing out their season previews and predictions. The fine folks at ESPN have offered an extensive preview for every team in their popular Daily Dime format. My Seattle SuperSonics, to absolutely nobody’s surprise, were picked to finish fourth in the division by everyone except a very generous Greg Anthony, who instead sees a third place finish for the Supes. One of the experts picking the Sonics to finish next-to-last is Tim Legler, ESPN’s resident butt-chinned NBA analyst. Legler:
I am probably not giving the Sonics enough credit, but they just don’t instill fear in anyone.
Not necessarily true, Tim! I have assembled a brief list of people the Sonics do, in fact, instill fear in. It follows thusly:
- Fans of defense
- Fans of Robert Swift’s fully intact ACL
- Francophobes
- People with light-sensitivity issues*

Oh, and by the way, welcome to my blog!
