Steve Nash is bleeding

A common theme among recaps of yesterday’s Suns-Spurs Game 1 will center on Dirk Nowitzki’s upcoming MVP trophy presentation.

Because we love a good cliche, we shall go the same route, and note that while Dirk was sitting home lasterday, the other main candidate, Steven Nash, was simultaneously trying to get back into a tight game and bleeding to death.

After taking a Crushing French Whammy from Tony de la Parker late in the fourth, Steve had to sit, while the trainers did their best to put 47 band-aids on his nose at once, his face looking roughly like someone tried to bite it off.

Dude needed stitches – Spurs win. Overall, a fantastic game – even the Suns bloggers can’t complain too much in terms of basketball quality.

I came to really respect the Spurs this game. They and the Suns are both class organizations, both have really classy players on the team and both teams are absolutely awesome. Tim Duncan is unstoppable. He knows how to play the game and when to take his shots.

Yep, looks like this is pretty much the NBA Finals in terms of quality of play and also quality of play. Expect the quality of play to also be phenomenal.

As for Nash’s nose, the only update we know of is that it looked gross and it wasn’t broken – the problem was vertical and horizontal cuts, which apparently are hard to make close.

In other words, our harsh feelings about Spider-Man 3 have been met by a large amount of agreement, based on the emails we’ve received.

Our only hope is that after reading the detailed critique we’ve sent out to those who requested it, is that you not expose us as “knowing a little too much about Spider-Man and his history.”

Spurs in 7.
