Suns mistakes cost them game & season

In last night's 92-87 loss to the Spurs which eliminates the Suns from the playoffs, Phoenix showed they're still not ready to compete at a championship level. There's plenty of blame to go around: Costly turnovers with the game on the line - The Suns...

Suns Breakdown Late, Fail to Close (Twice) in 2OT Loss

VS. Game 1: Suns 115, Spurs 117 (2OT) The Suns made some huge mental mistakes down the stretch in both regulation and OT, including a 24-second violation and a charging call (both while leading). They failed to seal the win and as a result, head back...

Suns Preparing for Battle w/ Spurs in Round 1

Admit it... you would probably prefer that the Suns played another team in the 1st round and saved the Spurs for later in the playoffs. Unfortunately, the basketball gods have chosen to give us the most intriguing matchup of the playoffs - right off the...

Suns Lose, Spurs Advance to WCF

While you do have to give credit to the Spurs for their dominance in Game 6, its EXTREMELY HARD not to think of how the series would've been if Amare & Diaw played in a home, Game 5. As it was, the Suns only lost by 3 points. If those two players...

Suns Lose to Spurs in Game 5, 88-85

There's really not a lot to say about Game 5, other than the Suns put together an extremely valiant effort to win without Diaw and Stoudemire. San Antonio's starting 5 was just too tough down the stretch and Phoenix couldn't hit a shot. Leandro Barbosa...

Suns Triumph in Big Game 4 Win Over Spurs

The Suns just wouldn't let it happen in Game 4... no way they were going to lose another game and go down 3-1 in the series. Withstanding the Spurs slow, methodical play for more than 3 quarters, Phoenix took over the last half of the 4th quarter en route...

Suns' Defense (Yes, Defense) Leads to Game 2 Victory

It's not that often that the Phoenix Suns can attribute a victory to the defense they played on the opposition, but Tuesday night's Game 2 win over the San Antonio Spurs definitely goes to the defense. Not only did the Suns put a stop to the red-hot Tony...

Spurs take Game 1 from Suns... Leave Nash bruised & bloodied

Not a bad start to what looks to be a great series - Suns vs Spurs - round 1 goes to San Antonio 111-106, but just barely. Had Steve Nash not been removed from the game because of the excess blood, the Suns would've stood a much higher chance of winning...

Suns Defeat Lakers 119-110, Take Series 4-1

Pardon this short post today, but I don't have a lot of time to write about the whole game or analyze it in too much detail. For those of you who read this regularly though, I wanted to get the latest score up so you didn't have to go anywhere else to...

Suns Leave the Stove on, Take off in 3rd Quarter to Shut it off

Ok, so the Phoenix Suns didn't really leave the game after the 3rd quarter of game 3 against the LA Lakers , but it sure seemed like it. After ending the game with a 31-17 lead, the Suns virtually disappeared and let the Lakers have their way with them...

Mavs come back & eliminate Suns

Game 6 didn't start out in Dallas ' favor, but it sure turned quickly in the 2nd half as the Suns 7-man rotation ran out of juice. Phoenix couldn't miss in the 1st quarter and led by double digits after only a few minutes. The heavy playoff schedule for...
