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 […]

Whatever happened at halftime of the games in which Phoenix beat the Cleveland Cavaliers is still going strong.
The Suns blew out the Charlotte Bobcats Tuesday night 115-83, giving them their second straight victory and improves their record to 3-1.
I also want to thank the wonderful Suns organization for stepping up to make their entire season […]

Fox Sports Net Arizona just reported that Amare Stoudemire wont play tonight due to a sore knee, the same one that he had the arthroscopic surgery on in October.
This cannot be a good thing and of course the idea of another microfracture surgery being needed is running through all our heads.
Not a great weekend for […]

Yup, that sums it up. I hope I never have to witness that again. A 119-98 thumping.
How do you possibly let things get so out of control that you are down 30+ to the L.A. Lakers in your season […]

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 […]

You hear athletes talk about how things don’t bother them, how they’ve moved on to face the task at hand, forgetting entirely things that happened in the past.
It’s nice to know that they still hold grudges, much like we the fans do.
Paul Coro’s blog yesterday had quotes from Steve Nash, which sort of eluded to […]

We should be thankful that Shawn Marion is back in the fold, playing hard and with the trade rumors a thing of the past. Who knows for sure what is going on with Marion, but from the outside it appears all that is behind him and the Phoenix Suns. The goal of winning a championship […]
