Game 2
Tomorrow at about 7EST, the third most important basketball game I've watched in my entire life will take place. Its only the 3rd most important game because the other 2 were the most heartbreaking experiences for me an Arizona resident and a Phoenix sports fanatic.
The first game was the 1993 Finals when Paxson, not Michael Jordan hit the game-winning three and crushing all the hopes of my city and mine. It's where the greatest team that the Phoenix Suns have ever assembled was no match for one of the greatest teams every assembled in the history of basketball. Timing is a bitch.
The second game was last year. Game 5, when the Suns came so close to pulling off the miracle against the Spurs after the NBA suspended 2 players for technically breaking one of the dumbest rules I've ever heard of. Watch and you tell me. Since when is checking on a teammate worth a suspension? And why do the badguy Spurs always get the breaks?
So that sets the stage for this game. Its the Spurs once again. The Suns lost one of the most heartbreaking games ever. And the reason why its so imporant, is because this is supposed to bour year. This is supposed to the be the year we break through against the Spurs. So is this team going to respond? That's why its so important to the city.
Damn, I wish I didn't have conference calls, but duty comes first I guess....
