Yay!
"Daddy?"
"Yes, son?"
"Why are the Suns losing tonight?"
"I don't know. They've been doing a lot of whining."
"The Spurs whine, too."
"Not as much."
"Yes they do. They whine all the time. When the game is over, the Suns will say "Yay! We won! Let's all go get some ice cream." And the Spurs will go, "WAAAAH! We lost! We want some ice cream, too." But they can't have ice cream when they lose, because their coach won't let them. And they'll whine all night long."
"That would be nice."
"Don't think bad thoughts, daddy. The Suns are only losing in your mind."
"OK."
"They are going to push the Spurs until everyone is on the side of the court, and then there's going to be a crack and the Spurs are going to fall through until a crocodile eats them."
Suns 104
Spurs 98

The scorecard thus far for Nash:
Busted nose
Kneed in the nards
Body slammed into the scorer's table
Look for the Spurs to be wielding shanks Wed. night.

Good thing you left Philadelphia -- Elijah is far too optimistic to be a Philly fan!

Of course, this was written before last night's game, but still interesting. Discuss.

I can only say this: The Suns don't HAVE to trade Amare Stoudemire. In fact, they HAVE to keep him.
We can beat the Spurs. You gotta believe.

I'm a believer now. I only watched the last 5 minutes or so of the game (which is all you really need to see of a basketball game).
I told my husband, "Oh no it looks like the Suns are going to loose." I'm a hater of all sports clubs from Texas, I can't explain why, maybe it's Bush's fault - so this bothered me.
My husband was upset with me and afraid that I had cursed the Suns for saying such a thing. But then, out of no where, they came back to win it. I must be good luck.

Suns lose Amare and Diaw for Game 5. The Suns are the most cursed franchise is sports.

Are the Suns from Texas? I'm not keen on the sport.
Neal,
Waited the hour for the video to download on my dialup. For some reason I expected your voice to sound different. But that's my one complaint. Work on that will ya. E. is a doll and goes to show the world that "hipster parents" are raising normal kids.
Oh and The Sippy Cups look really fun.

Ashley, the suns are from Phoenix, AZ (this would be why I was sad they were losing when we first tuned in). The Spurs are from San Antonio, TX, and therefore they are evil and deserve to lose.

I can totally see Tim Duncan doing the bug-eyed disbelief face when Popovich tells him "no ice cream"

Goddammit, I hate the Spurs. How a team manages to be both dirty and boring is amazing. May they fall through that crack, get eaten by crocodiles, and join Jerry Falwell in the Fiery Pit.

Evil walks the earth tonight.

The Suns will rise in the West tonight.
Half of me wants to see a track meet with the normal cast of characters plus James Jones, Marcus Banks, and Jalen Rose. The other half wants to see the Suns go Hansen brothers with Pat Burke and Kurt Thomas.....and Jalen Rose.

Thanks for the clarification. I like the looks of that Nash fellow.
