by Brett PollakoffFiled under: Suns, Trail Blazers, NBA Playoffs PHOENIX -- The historical statistics were slanted completely in the Suns' favor heading into their Game 1 matchup with the Blazers. Portland was 3-24 all-time in playoff series when losing Game 1, including a record of just 1-17 in the first round. And Phoenix was 15-3 all-time in series where the team has protected its home court with a Game 1 victory. If you're the Blazers, you fix all that by simply figuring out a way to secure a road victory to open the series. Behind a stellar offensive performance from Andre ...

by Sam AmickFiled under: Suns, Trail Blazers, NBA PlayoffsPORTLAND, Ore. -- The dead man walking couldn't have looked more alive on Thursday night. Kevin Pritchard was being Kevin Pritchard again, the Portland general manager mingling on the Rose Garden floor while wondering like the rest of the Rip City residents whether his team had one last punch in store. True to their fighting form, they did. So spirited was their 99-90 loss to Phoenix that the home crowd stood until the end as if the outcome was reversed, an insurmountable deficit and the end to a torturously-terrific season greeted in the final seconds ...

Blazers Must Survive Last Stand in Rose Garden brandon roy, Channing Frye, Jared Dudley, marcus camby, Steve Nash, Suns News | (0)
by Matt MooreFiled under: Suns, Trail BlazersDid you hear? They officially renamed "Murphy's Law" -- "Blazers Law." As in, "Anyone that can get hurt, will get hurt." The Portland Trail Blazers have proven themselves to be the most resilient team in 2009-2010. They bounced back from losing their star center Greg Oden (again), only to find their backup, Joel Przybilla, go down in a heap next to him. They struggled through front office drama, the integration of Andre Miller and Brandon Roy's knee surgery just as they were headed into the playoffs on a hot streak. They've done anything and ...

Filed under: Clippers, SunsLOS ANGELES -- Rebounding is all that Suns' head coach Alvin Gentry has been talking about during the preseason, and with his team being an undersized bunch who would rather try to run you off the floor than stand toe-to-toe and slug it out, that's completely understandable.But the emphasis on taking care of the boards had its consequences in the team's season opener on Wednesday, as Phoenix -- yes, the extended remix of the Seven Seconds or Less Suns -- managed just two fast break points in their game against the Clippers.The ultimate result, however, was a ...
