Louis Amundson and Teammates Laugh at Stereotypes Cherokee Parks, Chris Andersen, David Lee, Jared Dudley, Jarron Collins, Keith Van Horn, Lou Amundson, Suns News, tyler hansbrough | (0)
by Chris TomassonFiled under: Lakers, Suns, NBA PlayoffsWe'll see if during the West final, Lou Amundson's Phoenix teammates are calling him "Luke Walton.'' There's an ongoing joke on the Suns between the white Amundson and several teammates, namely Jared Dudley and Jarron Collins, who are both black. It comes from when the athletic Amundson was hoping to get drafted in 2006, and the 6-foot-9 forward noticed he only was being compared to other white guys. "There's always white guy comparisons,'' said Amundson, who ended up not getting picked out of UNLV but made the NBA as a free agent and is now ...

Suns’ Lopez Ready to Battle Lakers Bigs Alvin Gentry, Amare Stoudemire, Andrew Bynum, Jarron Collins, Lamar Odom, Pau Gasol, Robin Lopez, Suns News | (0)
by Chris TomassonFiled under: Lakers, Spurs, Suns, NBA Playoffs SAN ANTONIO -- The Lakers are big. Robin Lopez is big. The Lakers are long. Lopez is long. So it looks like good news for Phoenix that the 7-foot, 255-pound center anticipates he would return from a back injury by the start of a likely Suns-Lakers West final, one that could get under way in about a week. "Oh, yeah,'' Lopez said after Sunday morning's shootaround in preparation for the evening Game 4 of a West semifinal against San Antonio. "I could probably give them a few good minutes against the Lakers.'' The only way it ...

Loss of Robin Lopez Could Be a Big One for the Suns Amare Stoudemire, Channing Frye, Jarron Collins, Robin Lopez, Steve Kerr, Steve Nash, Suns News | (0)
by Brett PollakoffFiled under: Suns, NBA InjuriesThe Suns have won 21 of their last 26 games, and are currently riding a seven-game winning streak. They're unquestionably playing their best basketball of the year, and seem to be peaking at just the right time with only nine games left in the regular season. Phoenix is a team -- with its league-leading offense, much-improved defense, and deeper-than-expected bench -- that could do some damage in the postseason that few would have predicted before the season started. But that's only if everyone is healthy when the playoffs begin, and right now, it doesn't ...

For those of you that had not heard the news in recent days, Robin Lopez is expected to miss at least 2 weeks with a bulging disc in his back. In my all life watching sports, I have not seen a player with this injury return on time as anticipated. The Suns have been playing spectactularball as of late; winning 21 out of the last 26 games. With Lopez in the lineup, the Suns had actually moved up to 13th in the NBA in rebounding differential at +.8 per game. On Sunday, the Suns faced a beleaguered Minnesota Timberwolves team ...

Three-Point Shootout Contestants Literally Looking Up to Frye Channing Frye, chauncey billups, Daequan Cook, Danilo Gallinari, Jarron Collins, paul pierce, stephen curry, Suns News | (0)
by Chris TomassonFiled under: Suns, NBA All-Star GameChanning Frye will be shooting for big men everywhere in the NBA's All-Star three-point contest. Then again, it depends who you ask. Phoenix's 6-foot-11 Frye will be just the second center to take part in the 24 contests. The only other one was Sam Perkins in 1997. Other competitors named Friday for the Feb. 13 contest in Dallas are defending champion Daequan Cook of Miami, All-Stars Paul Pierce of Boston and Chauncey Billups of Denver, Golden State's Stephen Curry and New York's Danilo Gallinari, a forward who is the second-tallest in the event at 6-10.
