Even non-sport fans (like me) have to love a team who fights back on the enemy's turf, and keeps the game within a couple of points for three quarters. Still, go SA!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I'd love to say the same thing about my Yankees. Ugh
 
Sorry, Les - can you give a point of reference for us dum-dums in the peanut gallery..?
 
Yeah, who's SA? What sport are you even watching? :confused:

Nope, cain't do it.

Gotta love Horry's clutch play in the previous winning game.

Okay. It's either selfAdjoint or a famous Texas last-stand town. :-p
 
This must be basketball. I think some of my testosterone-dominant co-workers were prodding me for an opinion on it this morning.
 
Geeze ladies. Just flip through the channels real quick. What sport would have a score of 57 to 57, then SA, come on now :smile:

Channel flipping? But I'm watching Jay Leno's monologue now! I immediately tune out when the news goes to sports too. Okay, so it's basketball...that's the only game on as I flipped...and it has a score that shows one of the teams as SA. But that still doesn't tell me who SA is. Texas town...San Antonio? Is that a basketball team?

I haven't a clue about any of that sports stuff, but I am well acquainted with just about every defence designed by women.

:!) :!) It's amazing how easy it is to get sucked into watching a poker tournament! They have a Texas Hold 'Em tournament on Saturday nights on NBC (after all the reruns of SNL are over), and somehow I always wind up watching it. Then again, the only competing shows are infomercials at that hour. :rolleyes:

Yeah, he's had a few of those this series. They're always astonishing. That's becoming his signature move.

How about Bruce Bowen's clean block of Billups' 3 with one minute remaining? Defensive play of the year.

I kind of like the Spurs, which is good, since they're going to win a few more before all is said and done (before Duncan retires). Much needed relief after those damned Lakers and Bulls dynasties.
