So it was not a good night for me as a sports fan last night. The Spurs basically stayed in the locker room at halftime, and the Astros bullpen still can't keep them in games.
Starting with the Spurs. My thoughts are that this team has all the talent and ability it needs, and it has plenty of heart too...but for some reason, the intensity is just not there. And I don't know why. I do think that it was a much bigger deal for the Suns to win that game than for the Spurs, the Suns have a lot to prove, the Spurs basically have nothing to prove to anyone...but still...don't let someone come on your home floor a week before the playoffs and totally dominate you!
And I am sorry, but if Amare wants me to believe that he set a screen on Bruce Bowen and Bruce stuck his forearm out to get around him, and that hurt the 7 foot jacked ass dude...I just don't...grow up.
But back to the Spurs...what is with Manu? He just looks terrible, and has for about the past 3 weeks. I don't really know what's going on, but he needs to figure it out real fast. The first half was so exciting and so entertaining, and then for some reason in the second half, the Spurs just stopped doing the things that they were doing right. Tony was getting to the rim at will, and then just didn't even try to in the second. Timmy was getting his points, whether Shaq or Amare was covering him, and then just started throwing up terrible shots in the second half. Then the Spurs get Shaq AND Amare in foul trouble, and the Suns totally go off...that just doesn't make sense. Play with a little fire guys...let's get a repeat!!
As for the Astros. Again, the bullpen was awful. No, Sampson was not wonderful last night, but he was good enough to win. But every time the offense tried to get them back in it...the pen would give up some runs! We just can not have that if we are going to win games! That needs to be fixed and fixed fast!
Oh yeah, Brandon Backe, we love you...but stop trying to pick fights with Prince Albert...you are just pissing him off. Hence, the 2 bombs last night!!
