Never has a Game Preview Received So Much Attention!
Today, 7:30 p.m.TV: ESPN
Seriously, how boring is that? Plus, I live on the East Coast, asshole. Game starts at 10:30; get it right.
SUN TO WATCH: Tim Thomas
What do you have against picking a team's superstar in this section? Why the fuck should I not want to watch Steve Nash (in the midst of an MVP race), Shawn Marion (should be in the midst of an MVP race) and/or Amare Stoudemire (could be wearing something snappy on the bench, would love to see if he can rise to Jack Haley levels of towel-waving). How about Boris Diaw? That's been a pretty compelling career turnaround. Ugh, this is getting frustrating, I'll just move on.
Thomas was moved back into the starting lineup against the Kings on Tuesday... [t]he Suns won 123-110 with Tim Thomas posting 13 points, seven rebounds and three steals.
Hey, Geoff, I realize you take a bunch of days off, like when your team travels more than 150 miles. But you do write for an online site; perhaps you should be aware that the Suns played last night. Yeah, I know: crazy, right? They have these things in the NBA called "back-to-backs" now. Well, anyway, Thomas had 22 and 5 in this apparently non-existent game, along with 3 steals.
On a side note, this is what a good NBA article looks like. A theme that is competently tied together and concluded, no outlandish speculation or made up rumors. And on the same website, no less. Geoff, you should definitely get to know this guy if you have yet to do so, suck up your pride, and ask for some writing lessons. I was all set to go on a rant about how since IBA already has this far better writer covering the Warriors, this site shouldn't even have to exist anymore. Then I caught the sentence at the bottom of the page:
Two-time Emmy award-winning Raj Mathai anchors the nightly sportscasts for local NBC affiliate, KNTV-Channel 11. In addition, he hosts the weekly "Sports Sunday" program, which attracts high-profile Bay Area sports figures.
Ouch. Plus, he's Indian...Lepper must be seething.
POST-GAME EDITS:
Steve Nash did not play. So, I would admit that my rant about the "Sun to Watch" section was a little overblown, had Mr. Lepper done his job and reported that Nash would take the night off with a sore hammy. Since he didn't, I take nothing back. Nothing.
In addition, Boris Diaw put up a triple-double, Marion had 31 and 12; Tim Thomas scored 7 points. Guess which Sun I was watching the least?
