It never rains but it pours

Wow.

What a week to be a Suns fan.

My stomach can’t take anymore kicks to it. Stop. Please. The next thing you know the Suns will trade Amare and completely ruin me.

As Peter Krause said on one of my favorite all-time TV shows, Sports Night :

“Sometimes you just stand there, hip deep in pies.”

It sure feels like I’ve been hit with an entire bakery full of them. And I know all the Suns fans out there agree.

So not only did the Suns get hosed by the NBA and lose to the Spurs in six games, but our one big bright spot was a little draft pick from Atlanta if they didn’t end up with a top 3 spot in the lottery.

They had a measly 11% chance to get the 3rd pick.

You know it already. They got it. Wham, another pie!

It was going to be a saving grace. We’d walk away with the 4th overall pick, grab a sweet young talent and things would start looking up again.

Well, now it down to offseason moves. Who will stay, who will go? Will there be a trade? Can we get Kevin Garnett without losing Amare, Nash or Barbosa? Will I win the lottery this week? Will my boss suddenly grant me an earlier retirement with a totally unforeseen pension?

Doubtful.

Especially not this week.
