Okay, we are nervous types and the alarm bells were going off big-time in the first quarter of this game. Can you imagine stumbling to some boys from Belgrade and doing it in front of the hometown crowd? What a great boost for the old season ticket sales. And then there was Steve Nash sitting it out with some nasty chest congestion. Jeez, visions of swine flu dancing in my head. It was so bad that Aunt Nellie was going to smack me with a hefty pocketbook propelled by - should we say - her ample presence in an attempt to silence my cries of outrage.
Oh no! What a freaking mess. Sure the Suns jumped out to an early 11 - 2 lead but then it all kind of collapsed. The offense crawled and the defense just wouldn't hold. I thought Coach Alvin Gentry was supposed to have hypnotized the squad with the "D" word. Maybe the magic potion just didn't take very well. So the Suns fell behind by 3 points and barely eeked out a one point lead at the end of the first quarter. Oh, all this suffering against a team that includes a bunch of high school age scrubs who have never played on an NBA home court.it was like being a lab rat on the jumpy end of an electrode.Yikes.
It wasn't quite Charlton Heston in that old movie "The Agony and the Ecstasy", but it was rough. Frayed nerves, frying brain cells and sprouting gray hairs.What a pleasant experience and the regular season isn't even underway.
But so much for our trauma and personal play-by-play. The game just ended and we can safely report it was a big victory with the Suns on top 111 - 80.
Aunt Nellie's happy and the crew is quiet. Don't forget to have a few on us.
