by Chris TomassonFiled under: Bulls, Celtics, Clippers, Hawks, Heat, Hornets, Jazz, Knicks, Lakers, Magic, Mavericks, Nuggets, Rockets, Spurs, Suns, Timberwolves, Trail Blazers, Warriors, Eastern, Western, NBA All-Star Game, Thunder Denver coach George Karl likes to say each All-Star squad should have 15 players, rather than 12. It's a great idea for the West this season, with there about to be some serious snubs. As for the East, 10 seems a better number this season in a conference that after the top teams has as much depth as the local park's kiddie pool. Perhaps the East should concede two spots to the West. Throw ...

Alvin Gentry: Right Now, Amar’e Stoudemire Is MVP Amare Stoudemire, Kevin Garnett, LeBron James, Manu Ginobili, NBA MVP, paul pierce, Ray Allen, Suns News, Tim Duncan, Tony Parker | (0)
by Brett PollakoffFiled under: Knicks, Suns, NBA AwardsPHOENIX -- Amar'e Stoudemire made his return to Phoenix on Friday as a member of the opposing team for the first time since bolting for a max deal with the Knicks last summer. Stoudemire has been playing as well as he did with the Suns -- if not better -- and has unquestionably been the centerpiece of the Knicks' turnaround so far this season. Stoudemire's play hasn't gone unnoticed by his former head coach Alvin Gentry. And in fact, before the teams hit the court, Gentry went as far as to say that Amar'e ...

Suns to Introduce Lon Babby as President of Basketball Operations Amare Stoudemire, Grant Hill, Hedo Turkoglu, Lon Babby, Ray Allen, Robert Sarver, Suns News, Tim Duncan | (0)
by Brett PollakoffFiled under: Suns, NBA TransactionsThe Phoenix Suns have called a press conference for Tuesday morning to make what the team is calling a "major announcement." Multiple reports, including those from the Arizona Republic and SB Nation Arizona are confirming that the team will formally introduce former agent Lon Babby as the President of Basketball Operations at that time. Babby has been a highly-regarded agent in the business for years, touting a client list that features the likes of Tim Duncan and Ray Allen, as well as the Suns' very own Grant Hill. Babby had 11 NBA clients on ...

3 weeks ago, Suns fans and writers alike were acting as if the sky was falling down on Planet Orange. The Suns lost their GM Steve Kerr to greener pastures over at TNT, their loyal front office executive David Griffin was let go and Amar’e Stoudemire signed with the New York Knicks for 5-years and $100 million. This was the same Steve Kerr that organized the Kurt Thomas, Shaquille O’Neal and Mike D’Antoni debacles during his tenure. However after one run to the Western Conference Finals his vilification was gone and he was now a savior of the franchise? Which brings ...

Spurs Don’t Need to Blow It Up George Hill, Gregg Popovich, Manu Ginobili, R.C. Buford, Richard Jefferson, Suns News, Tim Duncan, Tony Parker | (0)
by Chris TomassonFiled under: Spurs, Suns, NBA PlayoffsSAN ANTONIO -- In San Antonio, they remember the Alamo. But they don't remember many seasons like this one. Guard Manu Ginobili said something Monday that hasn't been heard much here the past dozen years. "We were not ever really a championship-caliber team,'' he said one day after the Spurs' season ended with a 4-0 sweep by Phoenix in a West semifinal. The Spurs went 50-32 but it was their worst record since the disastrous 20-62 injury-riddled campaign of 1996-97, which enabled them to accumulate enough ping-pong balls to win the lottery and get forward Tim ...

I started my last post with a definition, so appropriately I will start this one with a definition as well. Vanquish: to overcome in battle; subdue completely. The key word in that definition is completely. The Suns vanquished the demons of their past by sweeping the San Antonio Spurs 4-0. I realize these teams are not necessarily the same as the battles of year’s past, however the core remains the same. Steve Nash, Amare Stoudemire and Leandro Barabosa, all remembered the past too well coming into to this series. Last night, with the Suns having a commanding 3-0 series lead looked to ...

Nash Keeps Eye on the Prize, Sweeping Spurs Despite Injury Amare Stoudemire, Grant Hill, Gregg Popovich, Jared Dudley, LeandroBarbosa, Steve Nash, Suns News, Tim Duncan, Willis Reed | (0)
by Chris TomassonFiled under: Spurs, Suns, NBA Injuries, NBA PlayoffsSAN ANTONIO -- Steve Nash might be from hockey country, but this was getting a little ridiculous. Three years ago, the Spurs bloodied the nose of the Canadian in the playoffs and Nash's Suns suffered yet another frustrating loss to their rivals. Then Sunday night, just when things were going smoothly, boom, Nash gets hit again. On a drive to the hoop midway through the third quarter, San Antonio forward Tim Duncan's left elbow banged into Nash's right eye. Nash again was bloodied on the floor. "It just seems like everything, something always happens,'' ...

Spurs, Suns Ready for a Game 4 Fight Alvin Gentry, GreggPopovich, ManuGinobili, Matt Bonner, Steve Nash, Suns News, Tim Duncan, Tony Parker | (0)
by Chris TomassonFiled under: Spurs, Suns, NBA PlayoffsSAN ANTONIO -- Gregg Popovich was wearing a T-shirt with a boxer on the front. That must mean his Spurs, down 3-0 in a West semifinal, are ready to come out fighting, right? San Antonio forward Matt Bonner had donned a Boston Red Sox hat. Must be that Bonner wanted to let everybody know the Red Sox in 2004 overcame a 3-0 deficit, right? Well, not exactly. Popovich's shirt actually was in reference to Jesse James Leija, a local boxer who comes to Spurs games. And Bonner said his hat really wasn't anything out of the ...

by Bethlehem ShoalsFiled under: Bucks, Cavaliers, Celtics, Hawks, Heat, Jazz, Lakers, Magic, Raptors, Spurs, Suns, Trail Blazers, NBA All-Star Game, NBA Awards Mere hours ago, I asked how the public was supposed to make sense of conflicting NBA honors, and how this state of emergency was good for the league or its players. Then, like clockwork, the 2010 All-NBA teams went out. Now, I am at the point of boiling. First, there's the tension between All-NBA and All-Star. The case for: the All-Star Game is mid-season, divided up by conference, and must contend with the totally cross-eyed fan voting. Big names ...

Gentry on Tim Duncan Hitting Another Playoff 3-Pointer Against Suns Alvin Gentry, Suns News, Tim Duncan | (0)
by Brett PollakoffFiled under: Spurs, Suns, NBA Playoffs, The BonusPHOENIX -- Anyone who knows the recent playoff history between the Suns and the Spurs can't possibly forget the way Phoenix went out back in 2008. The Suns battled the Spurs to overtime in Game 1 and held a three-point lead with fewer than 10 seconds remaining when Tim Duncan hit an unlikely three-pointer to send the game into a second overtime. The Spurs went on to win the game, gaining an advantage in the series which the Suns would never be able to overcome. SUNS vs. SPURS Game 2: Box Score ...
