WIZARDS TOP LAKERS; FINALLY EARN PAYCHECK

In case you missed it, the Washington Wizards truly deserve their game checks after overcoming a 21-point deficit against the LA Lakers.  Yeah, that's right.  The Lakers.  Not believing it themselves, this certainly came as a blessing for any remaining fans in and outside the beltway.
John Wall was of course referring
to the number of wins the Wizards
have had since the All-Star break.
"If I hadn't have seen this myself, there's no fuckin' way I woulda believed it..." was said by a man who was unable to be identified as he made his way to the restroom through me.  The Verizon Center's third sellout of the year saw thousands of smiles as the home team was able to give their crowd something it hasn't even been good at giving them against bad teams.  A win. 
Everyone was ecstatic, not just the little misbehaved children you catch on the jumbo tron from time to time.  CPA's and doctors alike were acting like they had just sat court side for game 7 of the finals.  Vendors pushed back 'last call' until they ran out, programs which cost $1 before the game were being scalped for $20 a pop afterward, and in some cases more to obviously stupid people.
"This is somethin' I'ma be able to give my grand kids," seemed to be shouted every time an individual would stagger away from the historic purchase.  Nevertheless, F Street will be partying like it's another Chinese New Year for days to come. 
Yes, players and fans are going to let this win sink in just a little more than average.  And who can blame them.  I wouldn't exactly be screaming for a return to a 9-29 reality where my team is 20+ games out of first place.  Instead, I too would want to savor this win.  This one win, out of a lockout-shortened 66-game season.  Enjoy it fellas.  Somehow, you've earned your outrageously absurd days pay.
