With 19 games remaining in the regular season the Suns are only 1.5 games back of making the playoffs in the Western Conference. The Suns making the playoffs may seem feasible to the casual observer, however I am here to tell you they will not make the playoffs this season.
Out of the final 19 game... Comment - Like

Since the blockbuster deal that sent Suns stand-out Jason Richardson along with Hedo Turkoglu and Earl Clark to the Orlando Magic for Mickael Pietrus, Marcin Gortat and Vince Carter, Suns fans have waited patiently to get their first look at Vince Carter in Purple and Orange. In the meantime, the Su... Comment - Like

Through 23 games, the Suns are 11-12 and if the season ended today would be the 9th seed in the Western Conference and subsequently out of the NBA Playoffs. That is a pretty far cry from the team that was 2 games away from the NBA Finals last season. We all know the story about Amare Stoudemire ... Comment - Like

It is a different year for the Phoenix Suns, yet the story is the same as it was in the pre-season last year. ESPN once again has the Phoenix Suns not making the playoffs despite their improbable run to the Western Conference finals. The prediction of the “experts” going into last season... Comment - Like

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...

My last post basically notated the fact that the Suns would be golfing after this Lakers series. Down 2-0 in the series, the Suns looked listless and without answer for the Lakers size in the paint. As an avid Suns fan, I had simply given up hope. Could anyone really blame me for being cynical a... Comment - Like

Well that was a fantastic season wasn’t it Sun’s fans? First, the team exceeded expectations simply by making it to the playoffs. Then to beat the Blazers and Spurs handily to advance to Western Conference finals; Sun’s fans couldn’t be happier right? If one were to take a step back and ... Comment - Like

Before the San Antonio series 8 of 10 “Experts” on ESPN predicted that the Spurs would dispatch the Suns from the playoffs. This time around, this same panel of experts has 7 out of 10 picking the Los Angeles Lakers to defeat the Suns. Bill Plaschke of the LA Times wrote a recent article entitl... Comment - Like

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 rea... Comment - Like

Hate. Defined as an intense hostility and aversion usually deriving from fear, anger, or sense of injury. In the case of my hatred of the Spurs relative to the Suns it is definitely all of the above. Any casual sports fan is aware of the battles that the Suns and Spurs have engaged in over the last ... Comment - Like

After game 1 of the series between the Sun and Trail Blazers, many including myself thought that this was the same old Suns team since Steve Nash arrived. Historically, a dominant team in the more up-tempo regular season, they tend to have problems in the playoffs as the game slows down and defense ... Comment - Like

On Sunday night, I had the pleasure of sitting in a suite for Game 1 of the Suns vs. Blazers series. This was my first playoff game, so I anticipated a ruckus crowd and a lot of intensity from the Phoenix Suns. However, on the contrary I saw neither of these things in Game 1. There was actual a poin... Comment - Like

The Phoenix Suns and the San Antonio Spurs are the antithesis of one other. Good vs. Evil, Light vs. Dark, David vs. Goliath, Fire vs. Ice, Ying vs. Yang basically any diametrically opposed statement out there has been used when referencing the match up of these two teams. The Suns play an upt... Comment - Like

Sports 620 KTAR’s John Gambadoro is reporting that the Suns are on the verge of signing Dwayne Jones from the NBDL.
So who is Dwayne Jones? Jones played collegiately at St. Josephs. He is a 6′11″ Power Forward/Center that is averaging 17.6 points and 16 rebounds per game for the A... Comment - Like

With the return of Steve Nash to the Valley of the Sun in 2004, the Phoenix Suns have since reinvigorated the NBA with their fast-paced, high-scoring style of play. With the league struggling for an identity with the absence of polarizing figures such as Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird,... Comment - Like

With 11 games left in the season, the Phoenix Suns are a mere 1.5 games back of the 2-seed in the most incredibly competitive Western Conference I have seen in my lifetime. Last year, despite going 46-36, the Suns narrowly missed a playoff spot and were left for dead. In the off-season, the confiden... Comment - Like

I realize over the course of the last couple seasons, I have been hyper-critical of Amar’e Stoudemire’s inability to play defense and rebound on consistent basis. I always perceived this inconsistency to simply be a product of lack of motivation or desire. However over the course of the ... Comment - Like
