Eulogy for the Suns

Or: Is this about the Suns and Spurs?

A few thousand years ago while playing in a football game I witnessed an ongoing exchange between an opposing lineman and a referee. After the whistle had blown at the end of a series of plays, the offensive lineman complained to the official:
Ref! Ref! He’s holding me! Ref! Ref! He head-slapped me! Ref! Ref! He grabbed my [insert body part here]!!
Finally, after the second series and yet another number of whiny complaints, the official took the lineman aside and calmly informed him:
Son, he’s not holding you…grabbing you…or slapping you. He’s kickin’ your #%#$#@.

Shut up and play ball.

UPDATE: WHEN YOU WIN BIG, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WHINE ABOUT THE OFFICIALS

Hope springs eternal. Even though no NBA team has won a series after being down 0-3, the Red Sox did it against the Yankees.

GO SUNS!!!!!
