Are The Suns Really Still Alive? Amare Stoudemire, Channing Frye, Featured, Jared Dudley, Los Angeles Lakers, NBA Playoffs, Phoenix Suns, Phoenix Suns Zone Defense, Steve Nash, Suns Basketball, Suns News, Suns Zone Defense | (0)
My last post basically notated the fact that the Suns would be golfing after this Lakers series. Down 2-0 in the series, the Suns looked listless and without answer for the Lakers size in the paint. As an avid Suns fan, I had simply given up hope. Could anyone really blame me for being cynical after all the crushing defeats of Suns playoffs past specifically in recent years? Then came a simple adjustment that seemed to fluster the to this point dominant Lakers; a college gimmick: The 2-3 zone. The modified 2-3 zone defense that is allowed in the NBA for some ...

Why I Hate the San Antonio Spurs Bruce Bowen, Featured, Greg Popovich, Mike DAntoni, NBA Playoffs, Phoenix Suns, San Antonio Spurs, Suns News, Suns Playoffs, Suns Predictions, Suns vs. Spurs, Tim Duncan | (0)
Hate. Defined as an intense hostility and aversion usually deriving from fear, anger, or sense of injury. In the case of my hatred of the Spurs relative to the Suns it is definitely all of the above. Any casual sports fan is aware of the battles that the Suns and Spurs have engaged in over the last decade. However, it is difficult to classify this as a vicious rivalry because the Spurs have come out on top over and over. Tonight, is the beginning of the end for the San Antonio Spurs. Once again, the same people on ESPN that ...

After game 1 of the series between the Sun and Trail Blazers, many including myself thought that this was the same old Suns team since Steve Nash arrived. Historically, a dominant team in the more up-tempo regular season, they tend to have problems in the playoffs as the game slows down and defense is the primary focus. Games 2 and 3 however eased concerns as they dominated each game winning by 29 points and 19 points respectively. However even after the trend of the last two games, the Blazers can even up the series by winning today. The Suns need to ...

On Sunday night, I had the pleasure of sitting in a suite for Game 1 of the Suns vs. Blazers series. This was my first playoff game, so I anticipated a ruckus crowd and a lot of intensity from the Phoenix Suns. However, on the contrary I saw neither of these things in Game 1. There was actual a point in the 4th quarter when the Suns were down 99-92 with 1:45 left in the game and literally thousands of fans began filing out of the arena. I understand it was a late Sunday night game and people had the ...

52-28, 2 days ago the Utah Jazz, Denver Nuggets and the Phoenix Suns were all deadlocked with this record; tied for 3rd place in the wild Western Conference. The Denver Nuggets were able to break this tie by defeating the Memphis Grizzlies Monday night. However, the Nuggets luck in terms of scheduling ends there, as they had to fly into Phoenix yesterday to face the Suns. The Suns were able to easily vanquish the Denver Nuggets 123-101. This appropriately has left the Phoenix Suns vs. Utah Jazz as a duel for 3rd place in the Western Conference. As I have mentioned in previous blogs, this would ...

What are the Suns Capable of in the Playoffs? Amare Stoudemire, Basketball, Featured, NBA Playoffs, Phoenix Suns, Steve Kerr, Steve Nash, Suns News, Suns Playoffs, Suns Predictions | (0)
Its been awhile since I last posted. Perhaps this was in silent protest to the Suns not trading Amar’e Stoudemire, or the fact that I have a 3 week old Suns fan at home. Either way, let’s have a quick recap of the last 2 weeks of Planet Orange. Amar’e Stoudemire remains a Phoenix Sun:Despite the fact that Amar’e will likely opt out of his contract at the end of this season, Steve Kerr and Robert Sarver were unable to find a deal that was even close to market value for Stoudemire. The Cleveland Cavaliers seemed to never really be interested in ...
