"WARRIORS AND SPURS AND BEARS, OH MY!"

Well, at least two out of three. Was it just me or did Steve Nash with bloodied nose look just like the Scarecrow from Oz? Boy, did that honker bleed!

Even after six stitches, Steve probably left some red fluid on his pillowcase last night. He is one tough Canadian. And he must have a hard nose to knock Tony Parker down when they hit. It looked like Tony got the brunt of the hit, but unfortunately it was Number 13. Not that I wanted Parker to get hurt. I thought it was cool that Steve asked Tony if he was okay after Nash was bleeding and on the bench. It was a great game with bad results and, yes bad officiating, but the Spurs brung it and deserved the win.

And this was only Game One! NBA fans could be in for a very good series. But only if the Suns win Game Two. They would never recover from an 0-2 deficit. Not against a team that knows how to win like the Spurs. Maybe the Scarecrow was right. It is dangerous out there.
