After the recent coaching change that the Phoenix Suns underwent, we find Lindsey Hunter at the helm of the team left behind by Alvin Gentry. Like with most coaching changes, teams’ rotations changes and sometimes players get fresh opportunities to prove themselves. One such player affected by this recent turn of events in Phoenix is Michael Beasley.
Much has been expected of Beasley after the Suns signed him this summer. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been much to rave about when it came to Beasley and his production for the team.

PHOENIX Steve Nash left a loser in his return to Phoenix. The Phoenix Suns, down 13 points in the third quarter, chipped away at the lead, helped by the fumble-fingered Lakers, then pulled the game out at the end with a 92-86 win Wednesday night at U.S. Airways Center. Michael Beasley broke an 86-86 tie with a driving layup with 44 seconds left. Then Kobe Bryant missed on a drive...

Last night the Phoenix Suns spoiled Steve Nash's return to the place he called home for the better part of the last decade by storming back behind the crazy hair and shot making of Michael Beasley. That's not the most important thing that came out of the Suns' victory. What's most important is that after years of suffering through the ugliest uniforms in professional...

The Phoenix Suns are trying to land Josh Smith. J-Smoov is so high on the Suns' wish list that the team will either trade for him during the season or attempt a sign-and-trade in the offseason, according to NBA writer Alex Kennedy.
Who would the Suns offer Atlanta? Just about anyone on the roster not named Goran Dragic.
Marcin Gortat? Yep. Jared Dudley? Uh huh. Michael...

Super cool Lakers game, huh? On a serious note, this game kind of reminded me of their win over the Hornets, except of course they lost. As they did against the Hornets, the Lakers moved the ball extremely well with Kobe (nine assists) being the primary facilitator. Like the Hornets, the Suns struggled through some extensive field-goal droughts during which they simply couldn’t...
