When the Suns and the Denver Nuggets announce their plans today to play an exhibition game at a tennis stadium in Indian Wells, Calif., next October, it will mark the first NBA outdoor game of the league's modern era.
The stadium is enclosed, and features rows of swanky suites and many other creature comforts of an NBA arena.
But the weather — wind and maybe rain — will be a factor for the first time.
Good idea or bad idea?

7:00pm Mountain Standard Time, on ESPN. Mark it down as the beginning of the Experiment in the Desert, also known as Shaq debuting with the Suns. And make no mistake, it is an experiment.
Despite all the (now) glowing reviews about the Shaq trade by most fans, the majority of local media, and a smattering of national media, this trade is an experiment. And it's either going...

The NBA took notice of the NHL's successful Winter Classic, and is planning to play a Suns-Nuggets exhibition game outdoors at the 16,100-seat Indian Wells Tennis Garden in California. I like that the NBA's imitating the NHL's concept for an outdoor game, but they should go a step further, and take a page out of And1's book. Let's see two teams suit up on a streetball court.

I think tonight's game will be very exciting. And although Shaq is getting up in age, I think he still has what it takes to help his new team get to the play-offs. But we'll see how well the Suns gel together pretty soon.

Anyway that was a big win for us. Also Kmart being my favorite player you have been playing great. Keep up the good work guys.

This game frustrated me to no end watching it. The Celtics played no defense. The announcers were awful. And worst of all, this had to be the worst officiated game in NBA history. There were just so many bad calls that it would be impossible to name them all. It was like one bad or no call after another. In all fairness, not all of them were against the Celtics. The Nuggets got some...
