The Direction of the Suns ?!


By Steve Fan on June 29th, 2008

Robin Lopez is now a Phoenix Sun

nahyB7a6LVU Not sure which way the Suns are going, but at least Robin Lopez is very a funny guy. After watching his press conference I already love Robin Lopez! But...Lopez is at best an NBA bench player, maybe a solid pro for years but will take time to develop since the guy, based on what I know is very limited with the [...]

suns61208.jpg

Who says the Suns championship window has closed? Since the Suns unimpressive first round exit against the Spurs media and fans alike seem to think the Suns championship window has been slammed shut.

It could be worse Suns fans


By Greg Esposito on June 9th, 2008

vinnydelnegro6908.jpg

So some of you aren't thrilled with the Terry Porter hire. Sure he isn't a "big name" head coach but it could be worse. You could root for the Chicago Bulls. Not only have the Bulls had as long of a coaching search as the Suns but they've interviewed more candidates. Which is tough to believe [...]

By Greg Esposito on June 8th, 2008

kerr6808.gif

While walking through the Phoenix Bridal Show today I couldn't help but think of the Terry Porter hiring. Yes, I know. The fact that I admitted attending a bridal show means half of you have already dismissed my opinion and the other half want me to turn in my man card. Just stay with me. As [...]

Another One Bites The Dust


By Greg Esposito on April 30th, 2008

Nash in Spurs

Sure Mike D’Antoni may be out as Suns head coach but is it going to be enough from keeping the Suns championship hopes from setting? The vote from us is no. When you look at the Suns and possible moves during the off season they are very limited. The following contracts are on the book [...]

Steve Kerr Bust a Ryhme

The guys over at 100% Injury Rate tossed this over to me this morning...And there is nothing funnier to see than a current GM rapping in a 1980s. Period. Steve Kerr, Kenny Lofton, Tom Tolbert, Jud Buechler and Sean Elliott all grace the video (or should I say embarrass themselves). Gotta love it.[...]
