The Suns rallied in the third last night and put up a huge fourth quarter to lead the Suns to a win over the Pacers 103-92. One more road win against Philadelphia and the Suns become the first NBA team to ever sweep it's road games against the other conference. That sounds like a big…

Time to focus on playoffs

Now that All-Star weekend is behind us, it's time to focus on the second half of the season. Looking at the standings now, we are sitting on 23 wins, matching the number we had all of last season. I know we still have a long way to go, but I can’t help but feel excited about the improvements…

Serving up a special dunk

How can I top this? (REUTERS/Lucy Nicholson) The difficult thing going into the Slam Dunk Contest is how to top last year’s dunk where I leaped over Spud Webb. That will be tough! (Click here to see some of my dunk highlights) But I think I can top it, as I’ve got something special…

John Amaechi's Book

The purpose of this posting is to address a very talked about issue in the NBA as of today.  I read some comments online recently that got me fired up and I felt that I wanted to write about the John Amaechi Book that just came out.  I do not believe my blog is an…

Star struck by dunk judges?

The Slam Dunk Contest will be great fun in Las Vegas this year, as I’ll be trying to defend my title against three big guys: Orlando’s Dwight Howard (6-11), Chicago’s Tyrus Thomas (6-9) and Boston’s Gerald Green (6-8). They should be tough, but maybe the most distracting aspect of the…

Outside (My Head) Observations

7:00pm vs. Hawks TV: FSN AZ, NBALPThe Suns play the Atlanta Hawks this evening in a draft-lottery matchup of laughably epic proportions. Do we let the Hawks win so they're not so bad that they end up with a top three pick in next years draft when we get any pick outside the top three from the Joe…

Super Bowling party

I went to a great Super Bowl party that Eddy Curry hosted. He took us out to a White Plains bowling alley to watch the game and do some bowling. I had to show Eddy how to throw a strike! Actually, I’m kidding. Eddy is a really good bowler. He scores pretty high up there in the 200s. I’m more…

Flu-Like Symptoms

Not like these flu-like symptoms, but the real deal. I apologize to you my minions for not writing a recap of the Portland game the other night but you have to understand that I was incapacitated. I missed a majority of the game and didn't feel that I could accurately describe it. Sure, I could…

Amare Stoudemire Wins

The Phoenix Suns overcame a triple double from Carmelo Anthony and an injury to Steve Nash behhind a dominant performance by Amare Stoudemire to finish off the Denver Nuggets 113-108 in a make-up game. Nash's injury doesn't seem like a very serious one, it's sore, possibly from sleeping funny, but…

Suns Down Spurs

The Phoenix Suns battled back from an early first quarter deficit and very slow start to break away in the fourth quarter to win 103-87. They say that great teams impose their will and style of play on the other team. Last night San Antonio imposed their will early and made the Suns fight hard…

Technical difficulties

Another negative result of the fight vs. the Nuggets – and resulting suspension – is an increase in attention from officials. In my second game back, against Charlotte, I received a technical with 20 seconds left in the game, and all I did was joke around a couple of Bobcats.The game was…
