Now that Mike D'Antoni has departed for the Big Apple, and with last season's trade of Shawn Marion for the Big Shaqtus, it appears we have reached the end of the "seven seconds or less" Suns era. It was an exciting and entertaining four-year run, but it was never validated with an NBA title. The comparisons to [...]

What would you do if you were forced to choose between having to fund Charles Barkley’s gambling or wash Jason Giambi’s thong after an extended slump? For Suns fans that decision is easier than picking a team to root for in the western conference finals. Kobe and the Lakers versus Duncan and the Spurs. [...]

Once again, the Suns game into San Antonio firing at all cylinders. They looked good. They looked poised. They looked like a bunch of ticked off, slighted, emotionally-driven avengers who had nothing but victory on their agenda. And then the first half ended. Going into half time leading the Spurs 61-54, [...]

Michael Finley's 3-pointer tied the game at 93 with 15 seconds left in regulation. Tim Duncan's first 3-pointer of [...]

End of the Phoenix Suns bench. Pick a game. Any game. Sean Marks: I can't believe Skinner is getting a few minutes tonight. Eric Piatkowski: Forget all that shit, look at that blond in the fourth row. DJ, you think they're built for speed or [...]

(AP Photo/Lance Murphey) Amaré Stoudemire, starting at center in place of the resting Shaq, scored 28 points (10-for-13 shooting) added 11 rebounds and 5 assists to lead the Suns past the Grizzlies 127-113 last night in Memphis. Sandwiched between Dallas on Sunday San Antonio today and Houston on Friday, the only real danger of [...]

(2 votes, avg: 5 out of 5) Loading ...It's been another good week thus far for the Suns. Can't argue with the results that much, two more victories were notched. Sure, the game in Seattle featured a staggering amount of turnovers but the Suns were able to impose their will in the 4th quarter and take care of business.The suddenly reeling Rockets are in [...]

IsC8m3vG3dg This video is rather humorous. It's great to see Amare and Nash yucking it up and having a good time, especially at Craig Sager's expense. But take a closer look. Focus on Amare in particular. Notice anything different? That's right, he isn't wearing his jersey. If you watch Suns basketball night in and night out, this is a [...]

Thankfully, tonight's opponent is the Seattle SuperSonics, an astonishingly bad team with an aversion to playing defense. See: Denver, 168 points.As Coach D said, this one is a "professional game," meaning the Suns need to [...]

Are you liking the Shaq trade now?The Suns have strung together five straight wins and are showing the versatility we were hoping the trade would bring. Things started to turn in the loss to Utah. That loss really was the last straw because the bad defense hit bottom giving up 41 in the fourth [...]

(Photo by Barry Gossage/NBAE via Getty Images) Well, what a difference a week makes. A week ago, going into a pivotal game against the hated Spurs (Sterns), the Suns were a team in disarray, having just blown a 9-point lead going into the 4th quarter against the Jazz, and getting outscored [...]

(Photo by Barry Gossage/NBAE via Getty Images) A family friend was good enough to give me a ticket for last night's Suns/Jazz game. As always, I had a great time. Unfortunately, much like my last trip to US Airways Center, the visit ended with an absurd bank shot, heartbreak, and plenty [...]

It was a pretty good showing by the Suns, and I was very encouraged by some of the things i saw. A lot was made about what exactly Shaq would bring to this Suns team, on and [...]

The Suns are now a power team. All of Shaq's title teams have feasted on points in the paint and behind the line because defenses double and [...]

Welcome to the Valley Shaq. Now get healthy, get motivated, and start playing some defense. Everything I wrote last night about this trade? Crumple it up, throw it out, and forget about it. Pending a physical this afternoon, Shaq is going to a Phoenix Sun. Better get ready for the show. I still have major, major concerns [...]

It's once again time for the NBA All Star game. Too bad the starting lineups tend to be a giant popularity contest that doesn't reflect a players stats for the season. Case and point the fact that neither Steve Nash nor Amare Stoudemire will appear in the starting lineup. Sure I'm [...]

Tick tock. You’re an NBA team. You’re in Phoenix to play Suns, the highest scoring and most explosive team in the league. They have 2-time MVP Steve Nash, the Matrix Shawn Marion, and reigning Sixth Man of the Year Leandro Barbosa just to name a few. That’s ok you think, [...]
