Does anyone remember when the Suns were good? I remember about 5 years ago when Nash was awesome. Marion, Stoudemire, and Diaw were all still in Suns uniforms. I remember a playoff series with the Spurs where Nash was bloodied by Spurs Robert Horry. The Suns ended up losing that series because so many Suns players came off the bench to aid Nash when he was violated by Horry. Anyone in AZ remember that game? Remember that series?
Well as I watched game 7 of this year's NBA Finals this past Thursday night I recalled that series between the Suns and Spurs. Over the years there's been many TX teams to stand in the way of AZ teams.
Now that TX is my HOME, I cheered for the Spurs all the way through the playoffs this year. Since the Mavs didn't make it to the playoffs we focused our cheering on the Spurs in this household. On Thursday night while game 7 was going I even received 2 texts, one from a friend and one from a cousin telling me they were rooting for the Spurs because of their TX link to me! Those texts made me smile!
Well later on that night I thought to myself, "man, life sure has changed!". Five years ago while watching and disliking the Spurs an ENORMOUS amount, I never would have believed that in the future I'd be rooting for them. Nor would I have believed I would care as much as I now do about all TX teams.
I'm now a Cowboys fan. A Mavs fan. A Dallas Stars fan. A Rangers fan. I love watching the Rangers in the playoffs, baseball can be quite intense I've realized. Oh I'm still a Cardinals fan. No getting the Cardinals fan out of me but my overall thought process towards AZ teams isn't what it once was. Texas is in the front now! ASU and the Cards are right up there with the TX teams but other AZ teams have taken a backseat.
Life sure has changed! Moving to TX has proved to be a great decision, as I found my true heart's desire on day one here! As I type that line I grin from ear to ear! Hi honey!
