The saga of the Suns fan

Tell me Phoenix fans, how does it feel to have the lead all night long, to have it seem like those plucky little Suns were going to pull it out despite all the adversity, only to have it slip through their fingers in the last minute, and to have BRUCE BOWEN of all people apply the dagger?

Isn't it great being a Suns fan? Between the heartbreak of coming so close in 1976, the playoff chokes and drug scandals of the early 1980's when it looked like they might go toe-to-toe with the Lakers, 1993 when it seemed Barkley might put them over the top, only to have John Paxson rip your heart out...

Then came the back-to-back, gut-wrenching chokes against the Rockets...

A few years later it seemed "Backcourt 2000" would be the new power... but Penny never could stay healthy, and you ran Jason Kidd out of town.

And now, you have Steve Nash, and this fun, run-and-gun team which finally looked like it was getting over the top and getting the best of its nemesis...

And you get your heart ripped out again. It's truly unfair. But you can't do a thing about it except scream and whine and call the Spurs "dirty."

But, hey, maybe those scrappy Suns will rise above it all and win in 7? Maybe 40 years of heartache finally will end?

Nah. You know how this ends.

Why even start the insults? The series isn't over. In case you've forgotten, the Suns have proven to win in San Antonio. Relax....

You suck at trolling.

the bastids also enjoyed two 1st round cakewalks in '92 and '00 thanks to the spurs losing their superstars to late season injuries. and they come in here whining about having a supporting star out for one f-ing game in a series?

You really must be a child and not trully understand the game of basketball. Nothing is guaranteed in this series, IF YOU'VE BEEN WATCHING. Relax.

still lotta ball to play

Exactly, Extra Stout.

Couldn't bring it home with an MVP.

Can't bring it home with a two-time MVP.

The Suns could bring back Jordan and Kareem in their primes and still they'd still manage to mess the bed.

BTW Suns Fan, Mario Elie says hello. Sealed with a kiss.

the larry o'brien has always been a mirage in the desert...

You really must be a noob and not trully (sic) understand the art of picking at opposing fans' scabs.

The curse suggests, nay dictates, that the Suns win Game 6 impressively, amass a big lead in Game 7, only to see it all frittered away, capped off by a three-pointer at the buzzer by Robert Horry himself, to give the Spurs their only lead of the game, as the final score.

It ain't over till the fat margarita lady sings.

then it will go down in suns lore that robert horry nearly took nash's head clean off, but nash had it surgically reattached in time to set up that game 7, only to lose at the hands of the nba's chosen one.

Extra Stout is rightfully annoyed and pissed off at the obnoxious trash talking Suns fans who have reared their meaningless heads on these boards during this series. I agree that this series is long from over and Phoenix could pull this off, no doubt.

But this is a fan forum and talking smack is what makes sports and especially the playoffs so fun(ny).

Suns fan,


I feel your pain.


Sincerely,


-Mavs fan

this is pathetic

I don't think I need to post well over a 1000 posts to be considered an expert and not be called a "noob". We all know that it will not be a cake walk. As far as me being a troll, negative...I'm not a troll. I'm not the one talking 'smack' and picking on the Suns fans, etc. That's being a troll, sir.

As I've said...relax.

yeah, the fans of ringless teams camped out in here disparaging the spurs on a daily basis to soothe their ringless pain is pretty pathetic. it might be time for the saga of the kings fan...

Personally, I think that choking in game five (you know, because we had to play our starters 45 minutes plus if we were going to have any chance), probably felt very similar to the Spurs choking in game four.

Both teams choked in the last two games. A loss is a loss.

The Suns and Mavs combined have as many Western Conference banners as the Spurs have World Championship banners.

No commentary, just letting that speak for itself.

Probably the same way you felt after the Spurs squandered gm4

Every sport has to have that one franchise that, no matter what they do, just can't win it. We just happen to have 3 of the 4 majors covered in our city. NHL, NFL, NBA.

C'est la vie

But, it's ass monkeys like you that give other franchises fans a bad name.

I'm just the messenger. Hey, the Red Sox won the World Series, so it could happen.

In 2054.

nah, it's the fans who feel compelled to visit the fan forum of opposing teams and inundate them with nonsensical inflammatory posts who do that. we've had a bunch of those lately. guess what franchise those were apparently a fan of?

It was probably similar to the end of game 4 for Spurs fans... *shrug*

The Saga of the Mavs Fan

Thad drives three blocks in his Hummer H2 to Tom Thumb to pick up some berry-scented conditioner

Gets a pedicure at the salon next door

Sees a copy of the Dallas Morning News with a Mavs caption on it

Realizes that it is late April, and remembers that Dallas has an NBA team that was pretty good last year

saga of the mavs fan (alt version)

jim bob and sue are diehard mavs fans in foat worth. they love "that derk nowizki and that awstin crowshear, they shoot the ball good" and "play the game the way it is supposed to be played".

their 12 year old daughter peggy loves her some josh howard, and that has jim bob concerned.
