    The Fall of Nash

    The Suns didn't want to keep him. Most posters here wanted him gone. When you dump someone, you don't get to choose where that person ends up afterward, or with whom. He had every right to go play for whomever he wanted after the Suns made it clear they were moving in another direction. The...

    Suns interested in Boozer!

    Exactly. It would really help if posters checked the source of an article before posting it, particularly in a new thread. Yahoo's contributor network is just fan blogs, and besides, that "article" does not even state that the Suns are actually interested but rather why they should be.

    Masters of Sex (Showtime)

    Just finished watching the first season. Excellent show. Surprised there is no thread yet. One of the best shows on TV right now. Masters' character is unlike anything on television, and Michael Sheen is incredible in that role. Highly recommended.

    Warriors at Suns

    Incredible game from Dragic. He is becoming a dominant scorer. He is able to hit that three-point shot off the dribble over a defender regularly now. He matched Curry in this game point for point, assist for assist, and then some. Solid win overall, against a team that is battling with the...

    Miles Plumlee Snubbed for All-Star Weekend Rising Stars Challenge

    They selected 9/9 initially. But apparently with replacements a sophomore can replace a rookie (and vice versa), so it is no longer 9/9.

    Miles Plumlee Snubbed for All-Star Weekend Rising Stars Challenge

    Who? I had to look it up. The guy is averaging 5.8/3.4 in 15 mpg. But, he was a rookie so he got in. Which begs the question, since they are already mixing up the teams, why not just select the best 18 players from either class as opposed to 9 rookies, 9 sophomores.

    Dragic will participate in the All Star skills challenge

    It is unfair, but not all that surprising. In the eyes of the general public, and apparently also NBA personnel, Lillard and Davis were always destined to be perennial all-stars and are now on the verge of becoming elite franchise players, whereas Dragic is just having a really good season and...

    Suns explore deal for Pau Gasol

    LA Times appears to believe that the Suns did offer one of their first-round picks, but the Lakers want a higher one. http://www.latimes.com/sports/basketball/nba/lakers/la-sp-lakers-gasol-20140204,0,4631302.story?track=rss#axzz2sHjtIvdK I don't like the idea of using picks in a trade for...

    2014 NBA Draft

    I think that statistic is pretty telling. And it's not merely busts but players who are completely out of the league in less than 10 years since being drafted in the lottery. 1 out of 3. The number of lottery picks who failed to meet expectations but are still in the league will be much...

    Suns @ Pacers 1-30-14

    And I was going to be content with 3-1 on the road trip. 4-0 in five nights? I don't even remember Nash's Suns do that. This team just seems to have great chemistry and work ethic. They don't take a lot of plays off. As for Dragic, he was probably auditioning to play Kobe's part in the...

    Suns @ Cavs, January 26, 2014

    With the loss, Cleveland fell to 16-28 on the season, but still just two games out of a playoff spot. Incredible. We might have a team 10 games below .500 make the playoffs this year. Great come back, btw. The Suns are playing 4 road games in 5 nights, but the first three opponents have...

    Suns vs Lakers - The Return of the Marshall

    Indeed. Green can be a much more consistent shooter with the mid-range shot than the three point shot. I hope he learns from this.

    Captain Phillips

    Very entertaining and well-made. I liked that they didn't make the Somalian pirates completely one-dimensional. There were some great exchanges between Hanks and Muse. Now, how accurate was it in the portrayal of Philips? Here's an interesting CNN clip...

    Suns @ Pistons 1-11-14

    Ugly game that the Suns somehow managed to come close to winning in the end. However the formula for beating the Suns is becoming apparent on this road trip. Teams are taking care of the ball much better, making it difficult for the Suns to run off of turnovers. Without that, the Suns can't...

    Bledsoe out for the year?

    So he "may possibly" return this season. That doesn't sound too encouraging. Normally there's some kind of a timetable. Perhaps we'll know more later.

    Suns @ Timberwolves 1-8-14

    Nowadays I can only watch the games a day later after work, but I also do my best to avoid finding out what happened. So far I only failed once, accidentally catching the score. It's a nice luxury to be able to skip through commercials and game stoppage time.

    OT: Lakers sign Kendall Marshall

    Marshall with 20 points (8/12), 15 assists and 6 boards against Utah.

    Kings @ Suns 12-13-13

    Remarkable how similar Dragic's and Bledsoe's stats are for the season: PPG APG RPG SPG FGM FGA 3FGM 3FGA FT% MPG Dragic 19.0 6.2 3.1 1.0 6.6 13.3 1.3 3.6 79.8 34:57 Bledsoe 19.2 6.3 4.1 1.7 6.7 13.6 1.3 3.6 80.2 34:12

    Raptors @ Suns 12-6-13

    I was watching the Raptors broadcast and they spent the whole game praising the Suns.

    Trail Blazers @ Suns 11-27-13

    It's one of those rare games that goes completely against everyone's expectations, both pre-game and during. The Suns have now beaten Blazers twice by double digits, while losing to them once by one point on the road. Remarkable, given how well the Blazers have been playing.

    Suns @ Heat 11-25-13

    Suns had 32 3-point attempts (nearly 40% of total shots taken), converting on only 25% of them (they shot 49% from within the arc). I would have liked to see a little more effort getting the ball in the paint and trying to get easy buckets. It is not like the Suns were really trying and Miami...

    Suns at Blazers

    Right now, this team doesn't look like a team capable of losing enough games to compete for one of the top draft picks. The roster is simply not bad enough. For starters, they would have to significantly worsen their defense and Bledsoe would definitely have to step down his game a notch or...

    2014 Free Agents

    It just occurred to me that this past off-season the Suns didn't sign any free agents (undrafted rookies don't count). I don't remember that ever happening before in Phoenix. They still managed to completely remake the roster with only five players returning from last season.

    Philly & Phoenix are a combined 5-0

    Just shows how unpredictable the draft really is. I don't remember anyone here saying that the Suns should have taken MCW at 5. Of course if he keeps playing like that and it leads to more wins, then Philadelphia can forget about adding another superstar in next summer's draft.
