Ah my beautiful Spurs..

I've been reading this blog for couple of years now but never really posted anything till now. Just wanted to say hi to my fellow Spurs PTRers and ramble on about my love of the Spurs.

I'm a NYC native but I was never really a basketball fan till Timmy joined the association. I don't know if anyone here remembers but when Timmy was a rookie he used to write weekly (daily? I don't remember) diaries on USA Today. I became an instant TF4L (Timmy Fan For Life) inspite of myself after reading his insightful diaries into working of everyday life in the NBA. Basketball never seemed so... intimate. So I've been following Timmy religiously for the last 10 years or so thru all the ups and downs of the Duncan Era. I don't think I ate the next day after the .04 game and I got silly-happy drunk after I saw Kobe and Fisher crying when we knocked them out. But alas, there have been obstacles in fully indulging my love of the spurs. I've been working in Korea for the past 3 years and its been tough to watch Spurs playoff games. Thankfully, this blog and my fellow PTRers have been god-send. Thank you guys.

Anyway, enough about me and my unhealthy obssession and onto just a couple of thoughts on the current state of Spurs.

On the Suns Series - Previous posts have been much more articulate about the series but I couldn't help but to put my 2 cents in. I feel bad for Nash. I really do. Not for Amare or Shaq since they are bunch of immature idiots who talk too much but I think Nash deserves better than he's got. The man seems decent enough and I respect Nash for his heart and his work ethic. Too bad he had to run into the Spurs buzz saw at the peak of his abilities. Maybe he can come over to the Spurs as a back up in a year or 2 since we are always, always looking for over the hill.. I mean veteran back-up point guards. (I'm looking in your general direction, Nick and Damon!!) We can win him some bling a la Finley. Just a thought.

On the Hornets series - Not much to say since Matt and Stampler will preview this series better than anyone else, I'm sure. Question though. Will Bowen be enough to cover CP3 or do you think we are going to have to double him?

And if we get past Hornets in the 2nd round, here's hoping we get Kobe in the Conf Finals... God, I hate Kobe more than any other NBA player. What a soulless douche!
