This is a game that should put the Suns back on the right track.  I think this for two reasons:

 The Rockets are a good team so the Suns will bring their A game.

I’m predicting a 15 point win.  Will it happen?  Who […]

“And we’re going to overtime! No, the Suns win!” –Tom Leander, who was really paying attention to the game, apparently
I should probably be madder about this game than I am. The Suns let yet another “underdog” team take them down to the wire, and barely managed to hang onto a one-point […]

a) We’re both very tall.b) We have both won conference championships.c) We both attended ASU and VCU.d) Both a and c.e) None of the above.
The answer is “d,” and congrats to my fellow Devil/Ram for helping his team to a conference title and automatic NCAA berth. Bravo Wil, heaps of praise for you. (Oh by […]

I like to take my son to one game a year.  But at this point, he’s only 6 so I don’t really want to spend an arm and a leg since we usually leave after the third quarter dunks by the Gorilla and crew.  I never do that normally but when you’ve got a 6 […]

Keys to the game?  I really don’t know.  To […]

There is always a lull in Tempe after a game against UofA, so here’s a few links to keep you entertained while your boss is in that meeting.
* Insomniac’s Lounge has it’s nominees for the proposed Cheerleader Hall Of Fame. Why yes, of course Courtney Simpson is in it.

Every time the Coyotes travel to the Canadian provinces, Jeremy Roenick finds himself in the midst of it. He ditches his team because he wants to sulk inside a restaurant, to have a beer and to be depressed that he is not playing.
Then, management tries to assuage the guy by saying stuff like “You […]

I sat down to watch the Phoenix Suns play the Atlanta Hawks and told my dad, “Someone’s going to need a monster game to beat them.  The Hawks always seem to save their best for the Suns.”  But my prediction was that Shawn Marion would post the numbers.  And with 21 points and 7 rebounds, […]
