    Amare should be suspended. Boris should not

    First of all let me just say that this is a BS rule, and it should have been changed long ago. Let me also say that Amare Stoudemire is an idiot, and Iavoroni did not his job well, which in this case is to keep the players on the bench. The rule states that any player who leads the bench...

    Bickley - Finley deal could prevent rump roast

    I love the line about the Phoenix Suns being a crushed orbital bone away from an NBA title. I love to last year's team. I think it's possible they could have beaten San Antonio with a healthy JJ. While JJ certainly would have helped I have trouble believing they would have beaten San Antonio...

    Guys, help me win this argument

    On the ESPN Phoenix Suns message board the other day some guy posted that the best deal ever was the Bo Outlaw trade that supposedly brought the draft pick that the Phoenix Suns used on Amare back to Phoenix.

    Gambo's draft article

    Okay, I can understand concerns that Ike isn't a good fit for the Phoenix Suns up-tempo style of basketball. I disagree with that notion, but I can understand it.
