Wake me up When the Playoffs Start

So the Suns dropped another stinker in Sactown to Mike Bibby's Kings 107-100. The Suns have become way too complacent and they just don't have the fire that I'm used to seeing. Win one, they're back on track, drop a bomb and they're spiraling toward oblivion. Can't we just get the playoffs…

Oberto clearly did not want to go in the game against Fortson, so Pop…

Carter still stinging from jab by Jordan?

Vince Carter was pretty chilly Saturday night, when I asked him how he’d react if Michael Jordan recruits him in free agency this summer. I doubt that he would, Carter replied, and you could almost see his breath for the...
