NBA Preseason - Suns v Trailblazers

When the city you live in no longer hosts an NBA team you have to make the most of any opportunity to get to a game. Living in Australia most of my life I have gotten used to this. The good people of Vancouver however, lost their Grizzlies to Memphis back in 2001 and although there were still some old Grizzlies jerseys in the crowd, many Vancouverites have adopted the Phoenix Suns as their home team because of their favorite Sun (pardon the pun) 2-time NBA MVP Steve Nash.

Unfortunately the Trail Blazers trounced them after 1/2 time and Steve was off the court most of the second half. One of the highlights for us can be seen in picture 4, down the page.

I think I'll be making the trip to Portland later in the season to see the Blazers again... they're looking good!

PS: If you haven't seen these Steve Nash Vitamin Water Ads yet... take a look they're gold!!
