I’m usually one to see both sides of things and/or to find rational explanations for everything that happens in life. However, in watching the end of the Suns/Pistons game last night, I found myself yelling at the officials for their poor calls which benefited the Pistons everytime. Of course, the entire Suns team, coach D’Antoni and the announcers all felt the same way… the refs handed the game to Detroit. There is no question. Despite Detroit’s best attempts to hack-a-Shaq late in the game, the…(read more…)

The jury is still out on the Suns’ trade for Shaq, but the team is sure trying to show everyone that they’re better sans trade. Phoenix won it’s 7th straight game last night, this one against the Houston Rockets , who have struggled since reeling off 22 straight wins. Amare Stoudemire played fabulous, finishing w/ 38 pts and 13 rbs in the win. What was more amazing, was Amare setting a franchise record by hitting 20 of 20 free throws in the game. STAT credits the improvements in shooting to his extra…(read more…)

In mid-January, Andrew Bynum – the Laker’s only true big man – went down with an injury that was scheduled to keep him off the hardwood for eight weeks.

For regular readers, I apologize that I haven’t been covering the team as much lately… and there’s a lot going on for sure.

The Phoenix Suns are in a bit of a pickle… they couldn’t beat the Western Conference powers w/ Shawn Marion , so they traded for Shaquille O’Neal . The result… two ass-kicking defeats in a row to Eastern & Western Conference powers – Detroit & New Orleans. Ok, so maybe the Hornets aren’t a “power”, but they are playing well and did hand the Suns a crushing defeat last night. The Pistons… well, they just ran up & down, played slow & generally played a perfect game in dismantling…(read more…)
