Phoenix Suns Fall From Grace Alvin Gentry, Amare Stoudemire, Basketball, Featured, Leandro Barbosa, LeBron James, NBA, Phoenix Suns, Shaq, Steve Nash, Suns News, Writer Portal | (0)
On my last post, I basically anointed the Suns to be one of the best teams in the NBA. Not surprisingly, within 48 short hours the Suns proved they are in fact not to be considered an elite team despite an excellent November. The Phoenix Suns were absolutely atrocious versus Mike D’Antoni’s New York Knicks. The Knicks if you haven’t noticed this season are the worst team not named the New Jersey Nets. Yet coming in with only 3 wins, the Knicks put up 71 first half points against a defenseless Suns team and ended up getting blown out 126-99. ...

Phoenix Suns: Best Team in the NBA? Alvin Gentry, Best Team in the NBA, Featured, Los Angeles Lakers, MVP, NBA, Pacific Division, Phoenix Suns, Steve Nash, Steve Nash Assists, Suns News, Writer Portal | (0)
14-3, it looks like a 1st half NFL score; in actuality it is the Phoenix Suns record after 17 games this season. With every passing victory, the non-believers out there have gone into hiding. What is amazing about this early season run is the fact is that 11 of the first 17 games have been on the road. The Suns are the only team remaining in the NBA with an undefeated record at home (6-0). This bodes well for the Suns in the 2nd half of the season as they will only have 26 road games left after this brutal 22 ...

Japanese Game Cards Are Nash-ty Featured, Phoenix Suns, Steve Nash, Suns News, Writer Portal | (0)
Deviating from the serious tone of this season’s analytical type posts, I found perhaps some of the oddest renditions of NBA players I have ever seen. Apparently a Japanese Neo-Geo system platform fighting game has NBA superstars dressed as various characters. Below is a picture of Phoenix Suns Point Guard Steve Nash AKA (Nashty). Sadly, Nash looks like a mixture of Paris Hilton and Brock Lesnar. I have also attached a link in the picture below to the original article with various NBA players in odd fighting character poses. Simply odd is all I can say, but at the same time hilarious. http://lastangryfan.com/2009/11/crazy-super-terrific-nba-cards/ On a serious note, ...

Play Like A ButterFly, Get Stung By A Hornet Amare Stoudemire, Charles Barkley, chris paul, Detroit Pistons, Featured, NBA, New Orleans Hornets, Phoenix Suns, Suns Basketball, Suns News, TNT, Writer Portal | (0)
With the revitalized way the Phoenix Suns have been playing this season, a match-up with a Hornets team without Chris Paul seemed like a sure victory. However, the Suns decided to leave their intensity at home and were defeated 110-103. This is relatively disheartening considering the fact the Phoenix Suns blew out the New Orleans Hornets just over a week ago by 20 points with a healthy Chris Paul. What was the difference in this game? The thing most Suns fans were skeptical about coming into this season; the ability and willingness to rebound the basketball. The Suns were pounded on ...

Suns Gunning for 1st to 10 Wins Alvin Gentry, Amare Stoudemire, Channing Frye, Featured, Houston Rockets, Phoenix Suns, Robin Lopez, Suns News, Writer Portal | (0)
After a significant letdown in the eyes of many versus the Los Angeles Lakers, the Phoenix Suns were able to rebound against the Toronto Raptors 101-100. In the Lakers game, Amare Stoudemire had one of the worst 1st quarters I have ever witnessed from one player. Amare got caught up in a rivalry with Andrew Bynum which amounted to the Suns being down 7 and Amare shooting 2-11 in the quarter. However, Amare rebounded quite amicably against the Raptors putting up 30 points for the first time since the fateful Los Angeles Clippers game last season that resulted in a ...

Next Test: Lakers Featured, Grant Hill, Jared Dudley, Kobe Bryant, Lakers, Phoenix Suns, Suns News, Writer Portal | (0)
The Phoenix Suns coming off of a complete annihilation of the New Orleans Hornets fly to Los Angeles to take on Kobe Bryant and his Lakers this evening. Last night’s brutal beating of the Hornets caused two major occurrences: the first being the termination of Byron Scott and more important to the Suns they were able to rest their starters for almost 2 quarters. Of course, Byron Scott being terminated was more attributed to their ineptitude in the playoffs last season vs. the Denver Nuggets and the fact they have started this season with a paltry 3-6 record. However the ...

Phoenix Suns Are Scorching The NBA Amare Stoudemire, Channing Frye, Featured, Phoenix Suns, Robin Lopez, Steve Nash, Suns News, Writer Portal | (0)
The Phoenix Suns continued their white hot start this season by defeating the Washington Wizards yesterday 102-90. Perhaps as impressive as the victory was the fact 4 out 5 of the Suns starters had double doubles yesterday. Steve Nash, who is currently leading the NBA with 11.9 assists per game had more assists (17) than the entire Wizards team (15). The Suns are now 6-1 and have some legitimate tough road wins under their belt. This is especially important for this Suns team considering 17 of their first 26 games are on the road. The Suns are 3-1 thus far on ...

Yes The Suns Are 3-0, But Temper Your Excitement Amare Stoudemire, Channing Frye, Featured, Grant Hill, Karl Malone, Phoenix Suns, Steve Nash, Suns News, Writer Portal | (0)
Yes, the Phoenix Suns are 3-0 after the first week of the NBA Season. Yes, the Suns are running and gunning thus far to a tune of 117.3 points per game. Yes, the Suns are shooting over 50% from three point land including Channing Frye at a 65% clip (13-20). However, have the Suns played any real competition yet this season? The answer is most certainly a resounding No. After missing the playoffs last season for the first time since Steve Nash’s second coming, fans have been somewhat weary in regards to their expectations for this years Suns. However, that haze ...

Suns Were Playing 5 on 6 In 2007 vs. Spurs Connie Hawkins, David Stern, Featured, Kobe Bryant, Phoenix Suns, Raja Bell, Referees, San Antonio Spurs, Suns News, Tim Donaghy, Tommy Nunez, Writer Portal | (0)
With the release of the scorned Tim Donaghy’s tell all book this week, Suns fan’s past suspicions have been confirmed. It seems that in fact referee Tommy Nunez, who was the group supervisor for the 2007 Suns vs. Spurs 2nd round playoff match-up had a vested interest in the Spurs beating the Suns. Below is an excerpt from Donaghy’s book regarding this series: My favorite Tommy Nunez story is from the 2007 playoffs when the San Antonio Spurs were able to get past the Phoenix Suns in the second round. Of course, what many fans didn’t know was that Phoenix had ...

The Pre-Season Finale and Season Beginning blake griffin, Channing Frye, Featured, Goran Drgaic, NBA, Phoenix Suns, Steve Nash, Suns News, Suns Predictions, Writer Portal | (0)
The Suns conclude their pre-season schedule tonight in Vancouver, Canada vs. the Portland Trailblazers. This is the Suns 2nd match-up vs. Portland this pre-season, with the Suns winning 110-104 in Portland. In the last meeting, the Suns defense actually looked solid and carried them to the victory. However, tonight’s game will likely be played with a little more intensity as it is the final tune-up before the regular season begins. The Suns face the Los Angeles Clippers Wed, Oct. 28 7:30pm TV: My45 HD Radio: KTAR 620 AM in the Staples Center. This will be the 1st regular season appearance of ...
