Feels good to feel bad

Posted by Nels on May 31st, 2005 filed in NBA Basketball, Phoenix Suns, San Antonio Spurs

My Spurs lost. And now I incur the wrath of Spurs haters for wanting them to win, and the Spurs fans as well for calling them My Spurs. Hey, I already said it once. I been had liked the Spurs since the Inside Stuff special on Tim Duncan. And even before [...]

Steve Nash and 48 points. What can you say besides the Mavs figured it out?
