This Suns fan is up at night stressed about the Spurs.
He put some time into it, go to the link and click on his links that are tied to each thing he hates.
Damn, Suns fans sure don't like the Spurs. I wonder why.

Not Sleeping, Hating the Spurs
04/9/08 12:23 AM
Oh how I despise the San Antonio Spurs. Let me count the ways:
-Bruce Bowen's right foot
-Bruce Bowen's left foot
-Bruce Bowen's right knee
-Tony Parker's music career
-Tony Parker's head/beard/face
-Tim Duncan's matching head/beard/face
-this smug look from Popovich...and that he's somehow uglier without the flat-top
-I'm Manu Ginobli...and I'm not injured in the least bit.
-I'm Manu Ginobli...and I'm a big sissy
-Robert Horry, old, fat, and pathetic
-FOUR ing les
Honestly, I could go on all night. There's so much to hate. SO.MUCH.HATE. If the Suns can't pull off a victory tomorrow night, expect the hate to flow freely, the reins to be loosened and the shackles to be removed. For now:
-go F yourselves, San Antonio (it's all we have)

Shaq, Duncan square off when Suns visit Spurs
Phoenix (52-26) at San Antonio (53-24) 9:30 pm EDT
SAN ANTONIO (Ticker) -- The Phoenix Suns acquired Shaquille O'Neal in the hope - among other things - that he would be able to limit Tim Duncan of the San Antonio Spurs.
O'Neal looks to accomplish that mission for a second time Wednesday when the Suns visit the Spurs.
The showdown could have major postseason ramifications, as the Spurs trail the first-place New Orleans Hornets (54-23) by only one game in the Western Conference standings.
Phoenix is sixth but is just 2 1/2 games behind the Hornets. Both the Spurs and Suns already have clinched postseason berths.
The 36-year-old O'Neal, who was acquired from the Miami Heat earlier this season, scored 14 points and grabbed 16 rebounds to lead Phoenix to a 94-87 victory over San Antonio the last time the teams met on March 9.
Duncan scored 17 points and grabbed 10 rebounds but made just 6-of-19 shots from the field while battling against O'Neal's swarming defense.
"A lot of teams have size in the West, and we added size, let alone a guy with championship experience," former MVP Steve Nash said following the victory.
"That is kind of why we (made the trade for O'Neal)," Suns coach Mike D'Antoni said. "It is different."
Amare Stoudemire collected 28 points, 11 rebounds and five assists Tuesday to lead the Suns to a 127-113 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies.
After having their eight-game winning streak snapped during a 26-point loss to the Utah Jazz on Friday, the Spurs responded with a 72-65 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday.
The Spurs are playing for the top seed so they will play all out. I see us winning this one.
Easy win. Put it away in the 3rd QTR and rest up. Suns don't scare a High school team.
Six WC teams with between 23 and 26 L.
Does Pop care about any specfic seed?
Spurs can't be totally indifferent to HCA, esp when they have been weak on the road this season.

NBA: Spurs brace for Shaq and well-oiled Suns
Jeff McDonald
San Antonio Express-News
You can call Spurs forward Kurt Thomas clairvoyant. You can call him simply a good guesser. Either way, he says he saw this coming.
Whereas many around the NBA saw the Feb. 6 trade that brought Shaquille O'Neal to Phoenix as something of a national joke, Thomas saw it for what it still might be.
A joke in which the punchline is on the rest of the Western Conference.
"When I saw that deal happen, I knew it was a good deal," said Thomas, who spent his previous two seasons in Phoenix. "You have to give Steve Kerr a lot of credit."
The sentiment in Arizona was much different the day Kerr, the Suns general manager, pulled the trigger on the blockbuster that brought the Diesel to the desert. Phoenix went 3-6 in the first nine games of the O'Neal era, and at the time, Suns fans were willing to give Kerr nothing but a bus ticket out of town.
Tonight, the Suns pull into the AT&T Center with 300-plus pounds of O'Neal in tow, as hot as any team in the wild, wild West. They have won 12 of their past 16 games and are playing like a team that ought to be a tough out come playoff time.
O'Neal, a former league MVP, is pulling his considerable weight. Steve Nash is playing, well, like Steve Nash. And, with O'Neal drawing attention in the low block, Amare Stoudemire is having a field month.
In short, the Suns are playing as few outside the Phoenix front office envisioned when Kerr exchanged Shawn Marion for an aging and, some believed, broken down O'Neal back in February. The missing ingredient, it turns out, was time.
"When you add people to your team, things don't become smooth and rhythmic right off the bat," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "It takes time."
The last time the Spurs faced the Suns — March 9 in Phoenix — Project Shaq was still in its experimental stages. The Suns' offense, once a well-oiled thing of beauty, still seemed out of whack.
The Spurs, however, did feel O'Neal's formidable presence on defense. He helped harass Tim Duncan into a 6-for-19 shooting day, as the Suns won 94-87 to kick-start what would become a seven-game winning streak.
It is a new, new-look Suns squad that struts into San Antonio tonight, in what could be considered a playoff tune-up for both teams.
"They've done a great job," Popovich said. "They know what they're doing, and they're playing very well. Everything is working."
It's too early to deem the O'Neal experiment a success — how deep the Suns forge into the playoffs will offer the ultimate thumbs up or down. But it's safe to say the deal hasn't been a complete bust, either.
O'Neal is averaging 12.6 points and 10.6 rebounds in 25 games with Phoenix. He sat out the Suns' 127-113 victory at Memphis on Tuesday but is expected to be available tonight.
Mere numbers can't quantify the effect O'Neal has had on Stoudemire.
Stoudemire never seemed quite comfortable as a center. O'Neal's arrival has allowed him to slide to his natural position of power forward, where he has thrived.
A 6-foot-10 gazelle with seemingly limitless scoring ability, Stoudemire has topped 30 points 13 times since O'Neal joined the Suns.
And contrary to popular prediction, O'Neal hasn't exactly transformed the Suns' famed "seven seconds or less" running game into a walk-a-thon. Phoenix still enjoys a good run, albeit sometimes with fewer sprinters than before O'Neal came to town.
"I'm really impressed with how they've meshed the Big Fella," Spurs guard Jacque Vaughn said, referring of course to O'Neal.
"Everybody was very critical when they first got together, but that's a part of jelling and putting a new product out there."
Not among those early critics was a not-so-doubting Thomas, who knew the Suns' inner workings intimately.
"If you can add a guy 7-1, 300 pounds with four championship rings, you do it," Thomas said. "He's definitely made them better."
Its going to be good. Don't be fooled by PHX. They are good. Shaq will do what he was brought in to do. He will let Manu and Parker know they can't just drive in at will. If the Spurs hit their outside shots and master the pick and roll, it should be a win for the Spurs.
The Suns need to send a message to themselves that they can beat the Spurs and have the confidence they need going into the playoffs. There is no better time than now to send that message loud and clear. Can you hear them now?
I'm gonna be drunk tonight!!!!!
That Dallas loss was extremely demoralizing. I don't expect the Suns to win tonight, especially on the Spurs' home court.
More the reason for them to win and get back on track and get mentally prepared for what lies ahead. Now is not the time to dwell on a loss.
In terms of toughest outs for the Spurs in the playoffs, right now I'd put them in this order:
1. Boston
2. PHX
3. LA/NO/Detroit
4. Utah/Dallas
If PHX is healthy, they're going to be better than a lot of people think.
Manu and Tony must be ready to attack the rim recklessly. It could be important if they could get Shak in foul trouble. (Amare will do that himself)
That's a damn good list, lots of good points except for Manu and Horry ones.
I've been looking forward to watching this game.
The Big Cactus versus the Big Fundamental. French Skirtchaser versus French Rap Star, Argentinian Mojo versus Brazilian Blur. Damn, I sound like Bill Walton.
I think the Suns play the Spurs EXTREMELY well and they need the game more than the Spurs do for their own fragile psyche.
Shaq is mediocre.
PHX has lost their mojo, in losing Joe Johnson and esp. Marion.
And Nash can't bring it back
Although the Spurs offense has sputtered badly a few times recently.
where the is Barry?
is he playing tonight?
This is going to be a great game tonight. Both teams want it bad. Playoff intense basketball durning regular season. Can't wait. A message certainly can be sent. What aslo is great is that its on national TV.I am picking Suns and Lakers in Western conference finals(if thats possible) so I am predicting a Suns victory. The Spurs should be able to score more than 70 points in this game, break a miny scoring slump but a Suns victory.

Barry is still out. He's not playing tonight. From what I've read it's not known if or when he'll be able to play.
Anybody know if Barry is even close to playing yet? Only thing I've heard so far is maybe late in the Playoffs.
Barry can't be that important, THEY TRADED HIM! Even with the idea he was to come back. THEY TRADED HIM. There was a chance some team could have sweet talked him into playing for them because ,THEY TRADED HIM!
Revenge game
Spurs will bring their "A" game. They are going to want some revenge for the last game vs. the Suns and they will want to continue to get the best seed possible in the West. Let's just hope that it's enough to get a win. The Suns will be a to beat.
