Phoenix Suns win opener on the road

Date November 1, 2007

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 […]

Purple back in the house

Date November 1, 2007

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 […]

Phoenix Suns take down the Denver Nuggets

Date October 26, 2007

Amare Stoudemire opened the game with a solid post move and then a jumper.
And man, his jump shot is beautiful now. He caught the ball in transition on the left side of the floor, about four feet inside the three-point line, and nailed a great, fluid shot.
Despite a sluggish start, the Phoenix Suns eventually beat […]

Grant Hill leads Suns in defeat of Clippers

Date October 19, 2007

The Phoenix Suns blew out the L.A. Clippers 118-97 and Grant Hill scored 21 points on 8-9 shooting.
All in the first half.
He’s truly becoming the player I thought he could be for this team. He played 21 minutes and only left the game because, as Paul Coro writes, he got “hit in the butt” early […]

Phoenix Suns lose to the New Orleans Hornets

Date October 13, 2007

After the big start to the preseason with all the praises for Grant Hill, Shawn Marion, Shawn Marks and D.J. Strawberry, I was so pumped that I jumped at the chance to watch Saturday’s game live.
On a side note, the Official Phoenix Suns Ticket Exchange is a sweet place to find tickets to games. Not […]

Nothing but good news for the Phoenix Suns

Date October 12, 2007

Paul Coro has me practically giddy after reading his latest article.
I’m headed to the Phoenix Suns preseason opener Saturday night to see most of this for myself, but from what Coro writes, this team is just shaping up to be perhaps the best we’ve seen yet.
Maybe I’m just excited about the season coming, but honestly, […]

Phoenix Suns beat Sacramento

Date October 12, 2007

The Phoenix Suns opened the 2007-08 season with an exhibition game in Sacramento.
The first quarter score: 29-18
What did you expect? They are already running and it’s early in October. I can already feel the excitement building inside of me for NBA season. Probably doesn’t help that the Diamondbacks lost Game 1 and cast a shadow […]

Phoenix Suns preseason kicks off tonight

Date October 11, 2007

The Phoenix Suns travel to Sacramento for an exhibition games against the Kings.
Brian Skinner has a bruised hip and wont be playing. KTAR this morning had a clip of Mike D’Antoni stating that the team would likely play “normally” the first three quarters, and then rest the starters in the fourth.
I talked to a friend […]

Phoenix Suns news and notes

Date October 10, 2007

Phoenix Suns training camp finished earlier this week and according to Steve Kerr’s blog, it was a huge success with some good stories.
The biggest one in my eyes in Shawn Marion, who scored 30 points and grabbed 10 boards in their intra-squad scrimmage Saturday. He played with a ton of energy and enjoyed being around […]

Suns camp nothing but smiles

Date October 3, 2007

Paul Coro wrote a chipper little report from camp this morning, reporting that Shawn Marion is all smiles and having fun getting back into shape. Steve Kerr reportedly had a great talk with him about the issues he had with the “team”.
And Mike D’Antoni seemed okay despite revealing that “It is not dead that he […]
