    Suns Rick Welts Admits He's Gay

    Agree the word "admit" is a poor choice. I'm pretty sure he's declaring it proudly, not "admitting" it. Also agree that I'll admire him even more if he'll help put together a winning team. Bonus prediction: the first openly gay athlete who's any good is going to make a fortune in endorsements.

    New line up, good or bad?

    Is the new lineup a sign that Carter and Brooks are leaving and Nash is staying? Would make sense to finish the season with the lineup that we plan to play next year.

    Hornets @ Suns

    Could not disagree more. I became a Suns fan because of Nash and I'll probably stop watching when he leaves unless somebody special comes in to replace him. But even for people who don't love the guy, I don't understand the eagerness to dump our best player. Gortat and frye are playing...

    The Playoff Race

    Wow. Didn't see that one coming at all. Did the Suns somehow not realize they had to win this game? I can always live with a loss, but I have trouble living with the team not even seeming to care about the game. I can't remember a big game, ever, where the Suns went down without a fight. No...

    2011 Off-Season Wishlist

    This thread is insane. Nash is one of the greatest passing point guards to every play the game, one of the greatest pure shooters you'll ever see, is a great team leader, and always plays with heart and guts. Even if the rest of the team sucked, I would watch to see him play. But the team...

    The Playoff Race

    I'm still optimistic that we will pass NO before the end of the season. They really should have lost to Utah last night, but Utah is actually one of the easier games they have left on their schedule. If all they can do is barely squeeze past Utah in OT, then I'm thinking they may lose a lot of...

    The Playoff Race

    We should know by April 1. NO schedule through April 1 is Utah, Phoenix (back to back), then Portland, Lakers, Memphis. That could realistically be five losses in a row. Meanwhile, Suns have NO, Dallas, Sacramento, Oklahoma (back to back), Clippers. Even if Suns only beat NO, sacramento and...

    The Playoff Race

    In the words of Yoda, "There is another." Forget about Memphis. With their schedule, if they are beating teams like Boston, they won't be the eighth seed anyway. The team to beat now is New Orleans. Suns are three behind them in the loss column, and they play them twice. If Suns can win both of...

    Suns at Lakers 3-22-11

    Playoffs are still very doable, at least if this team is as good as I think they really are. They are two games behind Memphis in the loss column, three behind NO. Memphis plays Boston, Chicago, Spurs in the next three games, plus two more against NO. If they lose the two against NO, then they...

    Suns at Lakers 3-22-11

    Not sure what some of you expect from the team this year but sometimes a courageous effort in an important game is all you can really expect. Any game that goes to three overtimes is essentially a tie. Thetragedy is that this team is clearly better than the 8th seed but may not quite have enough...

    Suns @ Pacers 02-27-11

    You gotta lot of nerve posting something positive about one of the Suns, man.

    I'm on board!

    Agreed. This has 10-game losing streak written all over it.

    Phoenix Suns - Current Evaluation 2008

    12 Games -- big deal I don't see why sitting Nash for 12 games is so unthinkable. Pick any 12 games at random. The Suns were probably going to lose 3-4 of those games even with Nash, and they'll probably win 3-4 of those games without Nash, so you're talking a net of 4-6 additional losses on...

    Lame fouls

    This thread is insane. Of course its legitimate to intentionally foul Shaq or anyone else if you think it will help you win. And I say this as a Suns fan. Just like it's legitimate to intentionally foul at the end of the game to try to stretch the game out. If Shaq doesn't like it, then he...

    Calm Down: A Series Doesn't Begin Until The Home Team Losses!

    Lots of doom and gloom around here, but things aren't as bad as they seem. 1. The Suns will certainly win Game 3 at home. (If not, I give up.) 2. In Game 4, the pressure will shift back to San Antonio, who will know that if they lose, they let the Suns back into the series. Coming off...

    Are the suns done?

    Of course their not done. They should be heavily favored to win Game 3, and that should give them some momentum going into Game 4. From there, things will look a whole lot better. Don't think of it in terms of winning 4 of the next 5 -- think of it as finding a way to get to Game 6. That...

    Grant Hill Gametime decision

    This really sucks. Game 2 may be the pivotal game of the series, maybe the playoffs, and its the one game that Hill will miss due to injury? In retrospect, playing him at the end of the season was a major mistake. Should have let him rest up.

    POP vs D'Anton

    I don't get this criticism of D'Antoni. Yes, Diaw and LB missed clutch shots at the end. Guess what? So did Amare (passing on jumper from FT to pick up charge instead) and Nash (missing FT in final minute that ended up costing the game). And how is Pop a genuis when, by his own admission...

    Thoughts from someone not able to see the game

    Very sane -- it probably helped that you didn't watch the game. With a few days' separation now, I can see that, yes, the Suns lost a chance to steal a game and take immediate command of the series, but in the big picture, I didn't really expect them to win Game 1. It's hard to see how the...

    NBA Championship: Beating the Odds

    Actually, I'm amazed at some of these odds: 1. Detroit's odds should be higher, simply because they (and Boston) are in the weaker east. They are much more likely to make the finals (they really only need to beat Boston), and so should have a higher chance of winning. 2. LA's odds should...

    Thursday's games

    Can anybody summarize the playoff implications of the remaining games for the Suns? I don't know who to root for or why.

    The Official Still Hating on Shawn Marion thread.

    I'm thinking this may be true of points as well. Shawn picked up 10-20 points a night from sheer hustle, but I'm starting to think that the other players are still picking up these points. The result is that even though you lose Marion, you don't lose most of his points or rebounds. Anyway, I...

    Shaq: Stoudemire is the best big man in the game

    I've pretty much hated Shaq his whole career, but this attitude is doing a lot to reconcile me to having him on the team.

    Farewell to Banks

    Lost in all of this is that the Suns finally got rid of Banks' contract. I'm not a Banks hater -- he seems like a decent guy and maybe he didn't really get a fair shake. But whatever the reason, there's no denying that the Suns were paying $5 million a year for basically nothing. So in...
