Suns Complete Home/Away Sweep VS. LA Clippers

The Suns completed a Away/Home sweep on consecutive nights against the short-handed LA Clippers on Friday night. After blowing the Clippers out in LA on Thursday, the Suns were primed for a letdown, but they held tough in the 4th quarter at home for the...

Lakers Block Out the Suns, Put Questions on Phoenix' Roster

I can't blame the Suns for laying a Christmas egg yesterday... hell, I wouldn't want to work either. That being the case, I doubt the LA Lakers wanted to work either, but at least they played a worthy game. The Lakers' win over the Suns puts Phoenix only...

Suns Battle Western Powers

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...

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...
