Editor’s Note: I thought this was an exceptionally well written diary so I moved it to the front page. Thanks, TexSUN, for writing it and putting so much thought into it.
Ok, the trade deadline has passed, the project that has kept me working late every night this week has been successfully completed, and the […]

For being the worst team in the league, the Celtics sure didn’t show it on Wednesday night.  But I think I figured out what their problem is (please note - I know this is nothing new - it’s just something I noticed because I don’t watch them a lot):  they just can’t finish games.  The […]

It was the best of teams.  It was the worst of teams.
Ha!  I’ve always wanted to use that line.  Anyway, it really is a tale of two teams tonight.  The Suns have the second best record in the league.  The Celtics have the worst record in the league.  The Celtics have won 13 games […]

The Phoenix Suns come off the All-Star break on the road against the Los Angeles Clippers.  Yes, I know the game isn’t until Tuesday.  But the masses want to talk about something dealing with the Suns and who am I to disagree?  It’s been a boring week.  I didn’t realize how much I loved writing […]

I went back and checked my recent entries just to see if I have been at all repetitive for the past two-three weeks.
Sure enough, I have.
Too many passengers, not playing for 60 minutes, few people playing hard each and every night (it’s the same people), and it’s to the point of wondering who wants out […]

I’m beginning to wonder whether it’s a conspiracy:  Fans vote for All-Star starters, coaches pick reserves, half of the reserves get “injuries” right before the All-Star game and the NBA has to get more reserves.
At first it just seemed like coincidence that so many of the players were hurt.  I mean you can’t really […]

Breathe in.  Breathe out.  Repeat.  That’s what Suns fans need to do tonight as the Suns play their last game before the All-Star break and hopefully the last game without Steve Nash, Boris Diaw and Kurt Thomas.
Kurt Thomas started practicing with the team again yesterday and indications are he should be ready for the […]

Thanks to reader TexSUN for pointing out this article on ESPN. It appears that Steve Nash will not be playing in Seattle on Wednesday and will also sit out during the Skills Competition and All-Star game.
I’m perfectly fine with this and have two thoughts:
If it’s a real injury, I definitely don’t want him aggravating […]

As expected, Ladislav Nagy was traded to the Dallas Stars this morning for Mathias Tjarnqvist and a first round draft pick. The underperforming “sniper” leaves with only eight goals with 33 assists and a minus 2 rating. Contract extension talks were not going well with the troubled forward so the Coyotes wanted […]

If anything else, the Suns played harder than they did against Atlanta.  But in the end, the result was the same.  A loss to the tune of 116-103.
As Suns fans, we are always impressed when they have all their starters in double figures.  I imagine the Bulls fans are also impressed with the fact […]
