Spurs v Suns

My husband has gotten really into the NBA playoffs that are happening right now. And, to me surprise, I have really started to enjoy them. I have always been put off by the NBA simply because my family has never enjoyed it. College basketball and high school basketball have always outweighed the NBA. I never knew why, just knew that's how it was. But, watching the Spurs and the Suns has gotten me intrigued. I think it just makes me miss playing and watching basketball on a regular basis. It was such a fun time for me, no matter how awful I was at it!

Watching game videos the week after, running and learning new plays, shooting threes and free throws...playing defense was always my favorite. There was something about guarding someone else and not letting them beat you that got my blood pumping. I was good at defense. The offensive side of the game always eluded me, but I loved getting in someone's face.

Let's just hope the Spurs pull it off. It's not looking good at the moment, but we still have another half to play before Game 6...
