The response: Phoenix is a barren wasteland of dust and sand? Sure geographically it’s the desert but lately their has been a strange blowing of hot air coming our from the direction of San Antonio. At first we thought it was just the start of summer but then we noticed the stench of jealousy and BS and figured it must be from one of the hack writers in San Antonio.
While reading your letter to Suns fans we couldn’t help but laugh. We always wondered what the definition of a homer sports journalist, and we use the word journalist lightly, was and we think we’ve found it.
To think someone could be so delusional as to think the Suns are girly and showed no guts shows a complete lack of intelligence, but what should we expect from the state that has gave us the most delusional president of all time.
Your definition of mass hysteria is strangly similar to the definition the rest of the country has for heart. But what would a writer who covers the Spurs know about heart anyways?
Smells like major market envy
What we are witnessing here is a writer who couldn’t make it in a big city at a real paper who had to develop a schtick of making fun of people to even make it in the city who is the little brother of Houston and Dallas. Like the city he writes in he has to bring attention to himself otherwise no one would care.
You claim that the Suns fans have selective memory but the entire nation, outside of San Antonio, doesn’t remember Steve “Two-time MVP” Nash flopping. The only flops they remember are those of Womanu Ginobili. To compare Horry’s suspension, a bit player who has just happened to find himself in the right place at the right time, to the suspension of a teams leading playoff scorer is about as backwards as saying yall, wearing cowboy hats and naming your team after something that is only intimidating to a horse.
You call the people of Phoenix “sun-dried, leathery-skinned Californian transplants.” While when you look at the Spurs fans compared to the suns fans (show pictures) one realizes that you are just upset at the quality of women in San Antonio.
Allow us to respond to your assertions of the Suns fans assertions:
- You claim “The rules are the rules. If the NBA is going to bend the rules they’d do it for Horry” Um welcome to reality, a place you obviously aren’t familiar with. Horry hip checked Nash on a blatant cheap shot while the two Suns players stepped on the court and did nothing. Too bad they didn’t get their monies worth and went to where you were sitting, that is if the Spurs would even give you a press pass. - Sure some suns fans said their was a plot against the Suns but a majority didn’t. Too bad Texas hasn’t succeeded from the union like so many Texans want. Then David Stern would have the international teams he wants and we wouldn’t have to claim you as one of our own. - “The Spurs have a long history as thugs” Ask Michael Finley’s or Steve Nash’s balls, Amare’s Achilles, anyone who has been around Womanu when he flops or the Toronto Raptors. - “The Spurs wouldn’t be good if they hadn’t drafted Robinson and then Duncan. Some people wait for good things to happen, others make good things happen” So the Spurs were the worst team in the NBA two different times on purpose? Tanking a season……hmmm that doesn’t sound like cheating. Be proud of that.
In the end we guess you have to root hard for the Spurs because when their seasons over it must be back to writing about girls softball or the latest rodeo in town. While you enjoy that we will enjoy the NFL, Major League Baseball, the NHL, our world famous golf courses, our clubs, our resorts, our major media market and our gorgeous women and we will thank god that we have writers here who have IQs at least as high as our temperatures.
An to the true Spurs fans that have some class, congradulations, good luck the rest of the playoffs and we will see you next year.
Sincerely, Phoenix Suns Fans
P.S. Here are a few Spurs fans from your own site last year at this time whining about the loss to Dallas.

we didn’t play our game in this season’s play offs.we couldn’t move the ball around the court.we couldn’t get help from our big men.tony parker couldn’t knock down the open jumpers (despite he has trained with a shooting coach whole year).we couldn’t get best of our veterans.(except finley)and i think if we want to be in the finals again next year we must rebuild our team on duncan and ginobili.i’m not a fan of parker because he couldn’t have made the progress we were expecting from him.we can use him in a trade to get a better point guard.and also we need a guy like josh howard.

It’s interesting to see how the NBA has changed these days. What you are seeing is a direct result of the rule changes the NBA has implemented to speed up the game and give advantages to faster teams. The refs have to call more fouls now, and it’s forcing teams like the Spurs and Pistons to play a faster game. You don’t foul when you play faster. Spurs just need to get a couple of speedy, athletic solid defenders on teh bench and they will be unstoppable. You guys still have the best nucleus in the league.

it came down to this. game two, dirk with 24 foul attempts..we lose by twenty!! did we really foul that many times, or did the ref have something to do with it? good series either way, but game 2 was the season changer for us. its ashame that refs are whistle happy these days. dallas will lose 4-2 to the suns. and beating the spurs will be for nothing.
