Phoenix Suns

Welcome to the rest of  the NBA season. With the All-Star break in our rear-view mirror, things are starting to get serious. They’re heating up. The Heat are heating up. Playoff berths and positions are on the line as the Association prepares for the latter quarter of its campaign. And so is lottery order, which [...]

This is kind of awesome. P.J. Tucker of the continuously surprising Phoenix Suns was fined $5,000 by the NBA for his second flopping offense, the league announced on Wednesday. Video of his flop can be seen below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNOwlxIi2kI Funny thing about Wednesday, though: It was also the day before the NBA’s Feb. 20 trade deadline, [...]

It’s almost here. No, not real life pocket-sized lightsabers. Those are still a ways off. The NBA trade deadline. That’s what almost here. Thursday at 3 p.m. ET , the deadline will come to pass, at which point, the Association’s power structure could experience a seismic shift, inciting disorder into an already-crazed season. Or, more [...]

Happy (almost) NBA All-Star Weekend everyone. Something is in the air, and it’s not love. Well, maybe a little bit of love. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, after all.

This one’s all about you. No, not you, Steven Tyler, lead singer of Aerosmith. I know you’re reading, but this isn’t about just you. It’s about all of you, the fans. Imagine the worst version of yourself; the absolute most-insufferable supporter of your favorite NBA team. Then times it by 10. Or more. That’s what [...]

Judgment day has arrived. Kind of. Halfway through the 2013-14 NBA season, most of us feel like geniuses. We know stuff now, you see. Real stuff. Important stuff. Which teams will make the playoffs for sure? We know that. Which teams are absolutely terrible? We know that, too. Why exactly is the Eastern Conference reaching [...]

That stench wafting through your home and into your oversized nostrils is coming from the NBA. Although it’s difficult to pinpoint what it actually is, we’re above confusion: it’s clarity. We’ve reached that point of the year where the Association’s happenings finally make more sense than whatever outfit Robin Thicke is wearing these days. Injuries and [...]

Addition by subtraction. Depletion by addition. That’s been the NBA’s prevailing theme this season. So many teams aren’t where they’re supposed to be. And I mean so many. Can anyone explain the Phoenix Suns, lottery-dwellers of 2012-13? Though they added Eric Bledsoe, they traded away Marcin Gortat and Jared Dudley. Now they’re among the Western [...]
