GAME 3: SPURS/SUPERSONICS
Well, it's never really an off-day for the busy Sports and B's folks, and there does happen to be a little basketball game tonight. The SuperSonics will be trying to piece together an effort so that they can hold off the fishing trip with Charles Barkley and Tracy McGrady for as long as possible.
Spurs at SuperSonics, 7:30p, ESPN/FSNNW
Will the Sonics force a Game 5? Will the Sonics face elimination on their home floor come Sunday? I'm not betting on much more than what I've just mentioned, but hey, the games have still got to be played.
By the way, it's bad enough that Nate McMillan didn't win the Coach of the Year award, it's even more of a shaft that he finished THIRD. Of course, it might keep his price down so that he has more of a chance it stay in Seattle, but still, it's just crap. Mike D'Antoni isn't Coach of the year if Steve Nash doesn't come to town, and there's no way it happens if Stephon Marbury stays in Phoenix either. D'Antoni may have instituted the crazy fast-paced running style of the Suns, but Nate McMillan had to devise a complete identity with the same exact set of guys, and his only additional parts were Danny Fortson and Nick Collison coming off an injury. They're not starters.
But yeah, there's a game tonight. Hooray for the pre-emptive post time which I'm actually posting at 2:25p.
