I'm going to need some Q-tips

[tsb2000]

to get all the crap I'm hearing out of my ears! :bang

Most of you know I live in Phoenix. Since my office is decked out in Silver and Black, I'm hearing it from every direction about how the Suns are going to rip the Spurs tonight....blah...blah...blah.

I've got a bet with some people here in my office. If the Suns win :nope , I'm buying them all lunch tomorrow. If (WHEN!) the Spurs win, they are all wearing one of my Spurs t-shirts or jerseys tomorrow from 8-5 and getting their pictures taken for posting on the www.

Even my 20 y.o. intern is talking smack. The balls on this kid! I should fire him right now just to make a point. :lol

[da_suns_fan__]

I could understand rooting for the Spurs if you lived in San Antonio, but you live in Phoenix now and CHOOSE to root for the Spurs?

Thats like someone being offered filet mignon and instead going with the cold Spam.

I think the last time you used a Q-tip, you stuck it in too far.

Like most kids, my folks were in the Air Force. That should connect the dots for you. Lots of moving around before SA...Ten years at Randolph, went to Jusdon. Folks transferred to Utah, went to the U for college. Met the wife there. Wife is from Phoenix, so we moved here.

Nonetheless, thanks to my corp HQ being in Austin, I've been to more Spurs games this year than Suns games. :)

And, uh...if the three trophies are any indication, you should really rethink which team is the "spam." Seriously. :oink

Amazing. I am in the Air force (reservist), did boot camp in San Antonio, my finacee's from Utah (no, shes not mormon) and I live in Phoenix. You and I would probably have a lot to talk about.

Someone agrees with me:


Phoenix vs. San Antonio: This is Big
By Henry Abbot
TrueHoop on ESPN.com

April 5, 2007 10:37 AM


I have been telling everyone who will listen that a Phoenix vs. Dallas Western Conference Finals would be momentous, spectacular, historic, and joyous ... like, say, Hip Hop Star Wars, Oktoberfest, or an environmentally friendly solution to the world's energy crisis.

But NOT SO FAST.

Yes, those squads have been the season's front-runners. And yes, they pulled off the game of the regular season.

But it is by no means assured that either one of them will make it through the first two rounds of the playoffs. A healthy Houston could beat either one of them -- Tracy McGrady is better than ever. Utah has been playing physical, playoff-style basketball all season, Deron Williams and Mehmet Okur are both hungry to take the big shots, and Utah could at least put any series into the hands of the referees.

And, then, of course, there is San Antonio, the team that many analysts consider the favorites to win the whole thing. They are professional as all get out. Tim Duncan = championships. They play fantastic defense. They have poise. They have Manu Ginobili, who is the guy who can make things happen when no one can make things happen. They will get big games from Tony Parker.

The Spurs are also on a course to meet Phoenix in the second round. So, tonight's matchup between San Antonio and Phoenix? It's worth staying up for, I promise. The Spurs are the gatekeepers to the Western Conference Finals of my dreams. Tonight's game could even determine who gets homecourt advantage if Phoenix and San Antonio do meet in the playoffs.

I'll be watching for all those reasons, but also because Phoenix is always worth watching. Sam Amico, of ProBasketballNews.com, puts it nicely in his email newsletter:

Whenever I watch the Phoenix Suns, I feel like I have a caffeine buzz. By halftime, I want to dribble up and down the driveway at full speed. If you don't enjoy watching this team, someone needs to slap you and yell "BREATHE." Actually, if you don't enjoy watching Steve Nash, Shawn Marion, Amare Stoudemire and the rest, I have a hard time believing you like basketball at all. ... More importantly, I thank the basketball gods nightly for Suns coach Mike D'Antoni. In my mind, the man saved the NBA following a trend of ugly, grind-it-out basketball in the 1990s. Now, a lot of teams are mimicking D'Antoni's freewheeling system, and a few more are considering it. And to think he got fired in Denver. If more teams played like the Suns, there would be more sellouts, higher television ratings, and lots of happy players throughout the league.

I concur. I was just in Phoenix on monday and Tuesday and one my stops involved your company.

I can't say why or who I represented, but listen to the man.

[exstatic]

The Suns are a fad. They are the NBA version of the NFL's formerly popular Run-n-shoot offense. I say formerly, because finally, teams realized that while it's fun to watch, you're not going to win with it. Phoenix is enjoyable to watch...from November to May. Deal.
