In the short time since acquiring Shaq this team is almost unrecognizable. If not for the continued success at fast break points I wouldn’t know who they are. It’s almost hard to believe that one such player can have an impact not only on the court but on the psyche of this team. It’s [...]

When he first took the Suns job, Mike D’Antoni was heralded as an offensive genius who was destined to save the NBA from plodding defensive half court basketball and finally lead the Suns to their first NBA title. However, as the seasons progressed, it seems as if we find different and [...]

It wasn’t until Steve Nash went on a mini scoring rampage that the Phoenix Suns actually took the lead for good against the Miami Heat.
Nash scored 11 straight points, including two threes and a barrage of drives and jumpers to go up 98-93 with only five minutes left in the game. Up until then, they [...]

Props to the Phoenix media. I mean, seriously…props to you.
David Stern came to town to announce that Phoenix won the 2009 NBA All-Star game and instead of treating him nice and staying on topic, the local personalities took no prisoners and grilled Stern in their first chance to see him since the suspensions of Amare [...]

The Suns blew out the Charlotte Bobcats Tuesday night 115-83, giving them their second straight victory and improves their record to 3-1.

Yup, that sums it up. I hope I never have to witness that again. A 119-98 thumping.

Yes, the Phoenix Suns won and that’s great.
But if I have to go all season banging my head against the wall watching us get owned on the defensive glass, I’ll go crazy.
Regardless, it was a good win for the Suns, who started off completely out of sorts, turning the ball over, looking rusty, awkward and [...]

It’s time. Again.
The Phoenix Suns hit the floor tonight against the Seattle Supersonics and kick off another run at the NBA title.
There are so many questions this year. Can Grant Hill stay healthy? Can Amare Stoudemire stay healthy? Can everyone stay healthy? The team has been great at avoiding big time injuries lately, so I [...]
