Basketball Apathy

I am struggling with the apathy created by two disappointing preseasons by the Storm and two brutally disappointing seasons by the Sonics. This is a year when both teams desparately needed to inspire community support and enthusiasm and instead they have inspired little but apathy. Even a fan such as myself who WANTS to believe is struggling to care enough about these teams to WRITE about them. How am I supposed to care enough to fight to keep them?
