As painful as it was to watch our boys go down in a blaze of 17 game winning streak glory, I take solace due to the fact that it took a herculean effort from a former MVP and superstar to defeat the Suns 121-112. I'm not a fan of moral victories but I'll take a Phyrric victory out of this one.I…

The Phoenix Suns killed a bit of the Cavaliers' confidence yesterday when they swept the season series with a 115-100 win. The Cavs were baited into playing a game that they never should have agreed to and it was clear early that the Suns should take this game.The Cavs were playing well early and…

Tonight we played against one of the best teams in the NBA--The Phoenix Suns. Steve Nash finished his normal "day at the office" with 20 points and 18 assists. Kevin Garnett was dominant on offense and defense and finished with 44 points, a load of rebounds, and a lot of defensive plays…

When I was a rookie with the L.A. Lakers, I remember my teammate Tyrone Lue telling me that in his first year he had been through a lot. I can't even remember all of the stuff he told me, but it was something like he had been traded, he saw a coach get fired, and in one fell swoop he had an…

The Suns just moved into first place in the league with a Dallas loss to the Chicago Bulls last evening. It's about time someone took initiative. This was the first game, other than Suns games, that I was actually engaged with. I want to make an apology to Luol Deng who got a mouthful from yours…

One great thing about the Knicks is that we have good team chemistry where the guys all care about each other. An example of this happened when I returned from my suspension.I was not paid while I was sitting out, but my teammates got together and helped me out. Jerome James, Quentin Richardson,…

The Suns heart the New York Knicks, until they defeat and cripple them. The Suns had a good competitive game on their hands in the first half, Curry was unstoppable and the energy just wasn't there. They were playing uninspired, lethargic ball until a (probable) Nash tirade in the locker room at…

I was kind of nervous when I came back from suspension. My teammates and fans welcomed me back with open arms and it was fun and exciting to be back on the floor. There was some talk that I was rusty after missing 10 games, but I don’t think that was the case.I just wanted to play and get…

Sometimes emotions can flare in close games and that's what happened in tonights game against the Detroit Pistons at home. Right now I am in pain because Kevin Garnett got ejected and there is some speculation that the league might come forward with a disciplinary action for those of us…
