Then the mayor tried to steal the New Orleans Saints in a rather rude example of “taking advantage of a situation” following Hurricane Katrina.

Then there were always those games between the Spurs and the Mavericks when I lived in Dallas. I began to harbor a distinct dislike for Tim Duncan and that perpetual “Who me?” look he has on his face years ago.

Now this. 🙁

Heartbreaking game in Phoenix last night. Have to give the Suns credit — they came out of the chute last night as though they were possessed. They played like maniacs.

Only one problem. There weren’t enough guys to play like maniacs for the entire game — and that eventually caused those who were playing like maniacs to get tired. Including Steve Nash — who basically couldn’t leave the court at all — as none of the guys out there could lead the team as Amare Stoudemire does when Steve takes his infrequent back breaks on the floor.

I don’t care if you are a Suns fan or a Spurs fan, this series has been irretrievably tainted.

Game six is in San Antonio Friday night. Final game seven (if there is one)  will be in Phoenix on Sunday. I see courtside seats at the US Airways Center are going for more than $6000 a piece if you’re interested. Yee haw!
