Nash Reaches 1,000 Game Milestone Alvin Gentry, Steve Nash, Suns News | (0)
by Brett PollakoffFiled under: SunsPHOENIX -- Steve Nash played in his 1,000th career game on Sunday, helping his team to an easy 120-106 win over the New Orleans Hornets. Until a couple of days ago, Nash wasn't even aware of the approaching milestone, one he now shares with only nine other players who are active in the league. "I didn't even know," Nash said. "If you would have asked me two or three days ago, two days ago, before [a reporter] said to me, 'this is your 1000th game,' I couldn't have guessed if it was 600 or 900 or whatever. ...

Gasol Gets Physical, Gentry Gets Ejected in Lakers’ Win Over the Suns Alvin Gentry, Kobe Bryant, Lou Amundson, Pau Gasol, Ron Artest, Suns News | (0)
by Brett PollakoffFiled under: Lakers, SunsPHOENIX -- The Lakers and Suns battled in a competitive back-and-forth contest on Friday, one which L.A. ended up winning by a final of 102-96. Both teams had large runs against the other, and really, even despite an abysmal second quarter from the Suns, Phoenix had its chances down the stretch.But after the Suns had erased all of a 15-point third quarter deficit to take a brief one-point lead with just over nine minutes to play, when the game started to get back away from them, that's when Alvin Gentry lost his cool, and lost ...

PHOENIX — In many respects Friday’s game against the Lakers felt like a playoff game. Heck, that notion was even written on the whiteboard in the Suns’ locker room before the game. With Los... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Age, Injuries Catching Up With Nash Alvin Gentry, Deron Williams, Steve Nash, Suns News | (0)
by Brett PollakoffFiled under: Suns, NBA InjuriesPHOENIX -- At 36, Steve Nash is playing some of the best basketball of his career. He leads the league in assists at 11.3 per game and has his Suns overachieving in the eyes of many, currently sitting fifth in the Western Conference playoff picture. But just how much longer Nash can continue to play at such a high level remains to be seen -- especially late in games, when both the fatigue of the season and the cumulative effect of playing through abdominal and back injuries begins to take its toll. In Thursday's loss to ...

Amar’e Stoudemire Leaning Toward Not Opting Out of Contract Alvin Gentry, Amare Stoudemire, Steve Kerr, Suns News | (0)
by Chris TomassonFiled under: Suns, NBA Rumors, FanHouse ExclusiveDENVER -- Amar'e Stoudemire offered some bright news Wednesday to fans of the Phoenix Suns. In an interview with FanHouse, the Phoenix forward said he's leaning toward not opting out of his contract this summer. Unless he were to sign an extension before then, that would mean he would put off his free agency from next summer until the summer of 2011. "I can opt out this summer or I can opt in, which means I'll be back another year (for $17.69 million)," said Stoudemire, speaking after the morning shootaround in preparation for Wednesday ...

by Brett PollakoffFiled under: Mavericks, SunsPHOENIX -- If the Suns are serious about trading Amar'e Stoudemire out of town before next month's deadline, they sure didn't do themselves any favors on Thursday.

That meant that Stoudemire, who ...

The Suns Assure Us No Lead Is Safe Alvin Gentry, Amare Stoudemire, Basketball, Featured, Jared Dudley, Leandro Barbosa, NBA, Phoenix Suns, Steve Nash, Suns News, goran dragic | (0)
In the Suns 105-101 victory over the hapless Milwaukee Bucks last evening, a disturbing trend continued with the Suns once again coughing up a double-digit lead. The Suns starters amassed a 36-15 lead after the first quarter of play. In the case of many teams, this would be a prime opportunity to get the players on the end of the bench some work and rest the starters before embarking on a road trip. This of course is the not the case with the Phoenix Suns. They have coughed up sizable leads in their last 4 games: Sacramento (20) Houston (16), ...
