Game isn't that exciting to me - no one plays defense. And we Suns fans are defense snobs, of course.

Rec for making me literally L.O.L.
And actually, I don’t find them that exciting…
I just love how it doesn’t matter who wins! It’s just a time to celebrate and appreciate the game of basketball. And I eat that kind of stuff up.

Well, he literally had to carry that team in game 6
since we effectively shut down Gasol. Odom and Kobe were our biggest mismatches….

but there’s a wide gap between “had to carry” and “really did carry”… damn, I wish it was a little wider…

Inside the free throw line, there were trampolines built into the court.
They could make 3-pointers and then they jumped and dunked everything else.
It was on ABC or NBC or something for awhile. But it all went downhill when it went to Spike TV.

Steve Nash, the league's MVP, is a longhaired Canadian who spoke out against the war in Iraq and reads The Communist Manifesto. Quentin Richardson declared after a game-winning shot that it "was like Hamlet. It was a suspense thriller, and I killed them at the end." Amare Stoudemire, when asked to comment on a 22-point third quarter against the Kings, said, "I've got a tendency to jump over some guys' heads and throw it down."
The problem, though, is....
I hate nearly all the contending teams. Heat, Celtics, Lakers, Spurs. Ugh. I could get behind the Bulls if they made a push, but any of the rest would be hard to stomache.

so here is the classic irony...
or is it the short sightedness of the NBA player. (or is it just Melo?)
blackmail the team that you want to really play for, so that sign you sooner (as a trade, rather than as a free agent which would be much better for your ultimate team) and insure for yourself MUCH bigger dollars but while doing so, insure that the team is much worse as they have to give away half the team to get you…
thereby making the ultimate act of selfishness which insures that the team is bad but that you get the ball more to insure you have better stats??
Just sayin…
i just want Melo gone
because that will likely mean denver not going to make the playoff
Yup.

Hopefully that will entice you to pick up his writing :).
Steve Nash, the league's MVP, is a longhaired Canadian who spoke out against the war in Iraq and reads The Communist Manifesto. Quentin Richardson declared after a game-winning shot that it "was like Hamlet. It was a suspense thriller, and I killed them at the end." Amare Stoudemire, when asked to comment on a 22-point third quarter against the Kings, said, "I've got a tendency to jump over some guys' heads and throw it down."

People ask me why I know so much.
And my answer is always, “I read.”
Even people at school will ask me how I know so much about basketball and the Suns. It’s simple; It’s not like I have special powers.
I read books, I read articles online, I keep up with NBA news.
I don’t get why people don’t understand how important it is to just read.
It sounds so corny but seriously, knowledge really is power.

I love that thing!!! It’s just so much easier to read now. Let’s say that right now I have the urge to read some Shakespeare. Yet I don’t have any of his books. I can just go my kindle & $2 & 1 minute later I have the complete works of Shakespeare ready to read! I love love my kindle!!!

What if someone misspells
The person they want to win the MVP award in their text to 38657? Does it still count?
