Phoenix Suns v New Orleans Hornets

This was my first live NBA match. I had seen a pre oympics Usa v Canada match a few years ago in Vegas, and had seen Usa ladies win olympic gold this summer, but this was something different.

I have had a mild allegiance to Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks over the years, but it is a fact that you have to adopt the first team you see live at home. So i am stuck with the Suns.

After being second best in first quarter and regulary being 10-12pts behind, it looked like a poor choice;

After pulling back to within 6 at half, it loked like they had something to them;

After going back to first quarter form, it looked like this was going to be a tough relationship;

After storming back to 8 pt lead with 6mins to go, this looked like fun;

After failing to close out what looked like a won match,and be forced into overtime, this looked like a team that would match my other teams for frustration;

After scoring the only 2 points in first 3 mins of overtime, and then storming to victory.....well maybe i made the right choice. Although the title of this blog might turn out to be relevant again!
