It's All Over

Saturday, June 03, 2006

There is no joy in Suns-ville, the mighty Phoenix Suns struck out. It is hard to believe that a team that started the game so hot could give up a third-quarter lead and loose by double-digits the second game in a row. I thought the Suns still had a chance until Josh Howard hit the three-point shot to put the Dallas Mavericks back up by 10. The way this team had overacheived this year and the way they kept on winning with their backs on the wall, I thought this might be a Sunderella season (to borrow an expression from legendary Suns writer Joe Gilmartin.) You knew that there was now Dirk was going to put up another 50 and I figured Steve Nash was due for a big game, but alas, it was not to be. As a Suns fan, I feel the words of the tin-man are especially relevant - "Now I know I have a heart, because it is broken."

The good side of this is that the Suns should have Amare back next year and if they can do this well without him, let's hope that next year will bring in the era of the Suns as Amare, Shawn, Steve and company start a run of multiple championships. (Hey, we deserve it!) Since I have already borrowed about every expression I can think of, I might as well add another favorite expression of my favorite basenall team (from their Brooklyn days) - "Wait 'til next year!"

Just my bummed thoughts,

Frank

Hey, Frank. I feel your pain. However, I'll enjoy watching Dirk Nowitzki a bit more. He's a freak. Seriously, what can that guy not do? And a 7-footer? Yikes.
