Two new additions

We are now the proud parents of four children, as the twins were born last Wednesday night. A boy and a girl, both healthy and hungry. As this is not a family journal type blog, my wife's blog can be scoped to see pics of the kids, if you are into that type of thing. Also, I kind of have a fear of putting pictures of my family on my blog in case a Spurs fan (they are all devil lovers) sees one of my kids in the streets and harms him or her. That is not below how the Spurs and their minions act (See: Bowen, Bruce).

As for game 1, I wanted to download some of my thoughts.
1. Except for the iffy offensive foul calls against Shaq, I thought that the game was fairly well officiated. This is a change from the past. However, reading blogs everywhere I have apparently come to expect the worst, and have now been weathered against being picked on by the refs. All others are saying that the calls favored the Spurs, and I thought it was a pretty even game. I guess that is what I get for being a Suns fan, gratitude for not being treated TOO harshly by the officials.
2. The Spurs should have won the game. They are the world champs and were playing the first game of the playoffs at home. They are supposed to win that game. The fact that they needed a) Shaq to only play for 30 minutes of the 58 total game minutes, b) Amare to foul out, c) favored officiating, d) a horrible shooting first half by Nash, e) Grant Hill to be playing injured, f) the only 3 pointer that Duncan made all year, g) 2 overtimes, h) and to play at home all shows that the Suns are the better team here. All of those things will not go wrong again at the same time. The Spurs had better look the heck out.
3. Let's not overlook that awesome fall away 3 pointer that Nash had with only a few seconds remaining in 2OT. That was awesome.
