Steve Nash is all excited

There are so many reasons to be miserable this morning.

Global warming, that Alias lost its way the past three years, and for many of you, the obvious “life in general”.

There’s a special form of misery reserved for fans of the Phoenix Suns, however. You people must feel awful that you had to come back from nine down in the latter moments of the fourth quarter in order to take Game 1 and steal away home court from Dallas. Then the last second shot to win it by the NBA’s other Frenchie, Boris Diaw? Rough night. Rough, rough, rough.

Besides all that, the big talk is whether Dallas fans should continue to verbally abuse their ex-players, this time the discussion centering on Steve Nash.

One of the local papers ran a short story that actually said, yes, it was time to boo the ex-Mavs point guard. Too much was at stake, too much time had passed.

“It may hurt,” began a story in the Dallas Morning News. “It might even go against your basic principles. But it doesn’t matter. You have to boo him.”

“There’s a demeanor shift in Dallas,” [fan Andrew] Cobb said. “Everyone here thinks Dallas has a chance to win it all.”

Wait a minute, [other fan John] Cantrell said, “You’re a real reporter, right? You weren’t hired by Mark Cuban to sniff out people like us.” He was serious, paranoid.

Maybe everyone, Mark Cuban included, should be concentrating on winning games, rather than the strategy behind whether to and how vigorously to boo? And why the paranoia about Cuban? What do these people think he’s gonna do?

Whatever – this thing will go seven games. For some reason this loss doesn’t play off with the devastation that Detroit’s did. Dallas looked fine up until the final minutes.

Like we said, there’s lots to be miserable about, including the unnatural attraction we feel toward American Idol runner-up Katherine McPhee. By all logical thought processes, we should want nothing to do with this girl.

She’s like 8-feet tall, robotic, emotionless, phony, 9-feet tall, a 2nd place finisher, 10-feet tall, and also 11-feet tall. She’s a fucking giant. There’s something about her, though. Maybe it’s the fact she’s 12-feet tall – that’s nearly twice our size!

Besides the height thing, this chick is like 19-feet tall, and we like short girls. Not some 23-foot tall girl who loses American Idol. Yeah, we watched it. Shut up.
