“Sweet Lou”, as he has been affectionately referred to by fans, has quickly become a favorite Sun in the valley.  His energy, focus on defense, ability to jump out of the gym, and sheer athleticism have won him a solidified spot in the Suns rotation this season.  Much has been written about Lou this year (along with his ponytail) by […]

I simply, in good conscience as an Arizona sports fan, couldn’t have a blog that didn’t address the Cardinals hosting the NFC Championship game.  Just couldn’t.  Even if you’re not necessarily a football fan, this has to be talked about.
However, upon further examination, I realized this Cardinals team is eerily similar to our Phoenix Suns team […]

Previewing the Suns and Clippers game Sunday at 1:30, I was fortunate enough to speak with ClipperSteve of the fantastic Clippers blog, “Clips Nation.”  Be sure to take a look through their site, great stuff.  There is one passage in particular about the Clippers and Dunleavy playing a lot of matchup zone this year that’s a […]

Normally, after a gigantic win like this, I would do a long blog analyzing this game and what it means for the Suns.  But I’m so damn happy right now that I’m just going to bask in the win and relay a few stats.  Oh, and I’ll do my best to show my readers how happy […]

A rematch between the Pacers and Suns will take place Wednesday, this time in Phoenix.  Last time the two teams met in October, I think we can all agree that Amare had pretty good game…
To preview the game and give us insight on all things Pacers, I was lucky enough to speak with Tom of the fantastic Indiana […]

Unbelievable.  Just what the Suns needed - more distractions.  For a re-enactment of my reaction to seeing the Jason Richardson article, I called upon Dan Marino. 
I was on the phone talking to a client, surfing the web, and as soon as I read the headline…well…just watch below and you’ll get the idea of my reaction.  […]

This week as the Los Angeles Clippers visit the Suns, I decided to attempt to reach out to Kevin Arnovitz of ClipperBlog to see if he’d be willing to take part in a short Q&A regarding our respective teams.  With Ben’s Suns Blog being a vastly inferior site in comparison, I wasn’t sure what the response would be.  […]
