Last night the Heat beat the Suns with a pretty balanced scoring attack. But, this is a case where the stats are kind of off. Even though DWade didn't have to carry the team, the Suns don't play consistent defense, so Cook got open shots, most of their shots were open and easy. Daequan Cook can ...

Cleveland
This past friday I went to Cleveland, to do an appearance for Topps. I did something that I have never done before, go to a card convention. It was called The National. There were alot of people there for trading cards and other sports memorabilia. It was really cool. Most of the time i was with ERIC from Topps, he is a cool dude. They made everything harmless and I had fun....
NBA Age Rule Impacts Ohio State

Swift to join Suns tonight
Despite the fact that the vast majority of the Fanster Suns Community didn’t approve the move it looks like the Suns have indeed signed Stromile Swift for the remainder of the season.
According to the Arizona Republic Swift is expected to join the Suns in Miami on Wednesday. That will be ...
Suns vs. Heat Gameday Thread, and Q&A With Peninsula is Mightier
Well, this game certainly is going to be interesting. I, for one, am most excited to see how the Suns bounce back after a tough loss in Orlando last night. Perhaps equally interesting is debating how many points Dwayne Wade will score on us, along with how Shaq will be received in Miami for ...

Rumor: Carlos Boozer Set to Join Wade, Beasley in Miami ('09)
Dorell Wright's guaranteed two-year deal left the Heat with a little more than $50 million in 2009-10 contracts for 10 players (only Daequan Cook's $1.3 million is at Miami's option). That means ? unless multiyear deals are dumped ? the Heat likely will have a little more than $11 million next summer (if Shawn Marion isn't re-signed) to pursue a free agent such as...
Daily Debate: Who’s better, Barkley or Wade?
Today’s daily debate question is simple. We’ve all seen the T-mobile fave five commercials (feel free to send us money for the plug) starring Suns great Charles Barkley and the Heat’s Dwayne Wade. With the Suns in Miami we felt it was time to ask, Who is the better player Charles Barkley during ...
Stoudemire won't return for playoffs
The out-for-the-season diagnosis for forward Amare
Stoudemire initially left a sliver of hope that the Suns star could return for the
playoffs should they qualify. Out means out. And "season" means, "See you next
season." "Not this season, not at all," said Dr. Pravin Dugel, the Valley eye
surgeon who operated on Stoudemire's detached retina...
Why the Suns Will Make the Playoffs; and Why I’m Not Panicking
I wrote a post a few months back outlining the Suns favorable schedule through January and February, and how they can gain ground in the West if they take care of business. Well, that didn’t happen. They had their first losing month in 5 years (January) and despite getting some solid wins in ...

Suns Sign Forward Stromile Swift for Remainder of 2009 Season
The Suns on Wednesday, signed forward Stromile Swift for the remainder of the 2009 season. The PF, who spent most of his career in Memphis, but most recently in Houston and New Jersey, will add some power and size for the small Suns squad. Swift is certainly no Amare Stoudemire , but he can run the floor and should be on the receiving end of many alley-oops from the Phoenix guards...
Magic Set Spell On Suns Win 111-99
In the words of my virtual baby sister, and one of the finest writers of any genre to grace the Internet; Carolyn from And One ”Somewhere Thomas Wolfe is smiling” (Warning: if you hear any screaming in the Greater Cleveland Area within 24 hours of publishing this game recap, it will most likely ...
Blazers 107, Pacers 105 Re-Thoughts
There's an elephant in the room and I don't like it so let's turn to it. I feel no need to dissect the foul call. As a fan I don't think you ever want to see a game decided at the line. For a Pacer fan I can imagine it was just an impossible pill to swallow. But when I've learned that when ...
