Steve Nash and the Phoenix Suns look to make the San Antonio Spurs a rival at last
by Jesse Blanchard


“For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me…it was Tuesday.”

—Street Fighter: The Movie

And so renews the most heated one-sided matchup in recent NBA history. The San Antonio Spurs and Phoenix Suns are an interesting story to tell, depending on who tells it. You see, in Phoenix the ghosts of Tim Duncan and Gregg Popovich haunt the desert nights, riding in every spring to torment the locals.

In Phoenix, those hated men in black are the source of a thousand wrongs upon which vengeance is sworn. For the Phoenix Suns and their fans every significant moment of their playoff lives inevitably leads back to the San Antonio Spurs.

Bruce Bowen’s greatest hits. The bloody nose. Robert Horry checking Steve Nash into the scorer’s table. And just to be a little more villainous, the Tim Duncan three-pointer. Each of these moments, and so many more, are ingrained into the hearts and memories of every single Phoenix Suns fan.

For the San Antonio Spurs…it was just Tuesday.

Ex-fucking-xactly!

Fuck Phoenix and their so-called rivalry. Like I've said before, when you're at the top, everyone comes gunning for you. Until you beat them, you have no rivalry. We weren't a rival to the Lakers until 03, we were just another bump in the road to them. Just like the Mavs are to us, we mean more to them then them to us.

We weren't a rival to the Lakers until '03? Did you forget '99, when we swept them and shut down the Forum?? When they swept us back in '01 with a vengenance, the rivalry was in full swing.

Excellent Street Fighter quote there. My other favorites are "Any other new business?" and "4 years of ROTC for this shit?"
