Phoenix Suns Get Torched By The Dallas Mavericks, 93-87
Holy crap, Batman, no Dirk again; well Carlisle had announced prior to the New Orleans game that the big German would miss at least 4 games, and this was only the second one, but the Dallas Mavericks got themselves together and followed their leader of the night, which happened to be Shawn Marion.

Celtics vs. Mavericks: Toughness counts
At some point, the Celtics evolved (or devolved, if you will) into an upside-down version of their former selves,. They are now a team that treats the regular season like a regular season, rather than a team that treats the regular season like a set of 82 death matches, like the 2007-08 Celtics did.There was a joy to watching that Celtics team compete, partially because we weren...

Draft. Resign. Cut. – From High School Straight to the NBA
Darius Miles. Jonathan Bender. Sebastian Telfair.
All there players jumped straight from High School to the NBA and were lottery picks.

We would draft Jonathan Bender, resign Sebastian Telfair...

2011-2012 NBA Preview: Phoenix Suns
The 2011-2012 season brings some interesting prospects for the Phoenix Suns. No longer are they considered one of the few teams across the league that have a legit shot at winning a NBA championship, but they are also probably aren’t bad enough to be considered one of the worst teams and get a top five pick in the draft.
Phoenix will once be headed by the veteran duo of Steve...

ESPN’s Chad Ford Ranks Phoenix Suns Offseason As One of Worst
In a condensed offseason from the lockout, the Suns were pretty much quiet making moves. They bought out Vince Carter’s contract, brought back Grant Hill, locked up rookie Markieff Morris and signed short-term deals with Shannon Brown, Sebastian Telfair and Ronnie Price.
ESPN’s Chad Ford, who has been a heavy critic of Phoenix in recent years, voiced his displeasure over the...

PHOENIX -- First-year Phoenix Suns point guard Sebastian Telfair knows he's not expected to be Steve Nash. He's right, but that doesn't mean he won't try to be.
With the NBA's schedule shortened and condensed by the lockout, Telfair's role as backup point guard takes on an amplified importance, particularly in the Suns' fast-paced offense.

Suns' Sebastian Telfair offers full-court pressure
Notes: Sebastian Telfair knew where he wanted to end up so that he could learn from Steve Nash, be in a pick-and-roll system and perhaps have the first playoff role of his career in the city his cousin, Stephon Marbury, once starred.

Lack of Overall Roster Turnover A Big Plus for Phoenix Suns
Because of the lockout that lasted 149 days, teams across the NBA are left scrambling to make roster moves in order for preparation of the regular season which gets under way in a few weeks.

The falling apart of the three-way trade that would have delivered point guard Chris Paul to the Los Angeles Lakers may have assisted the Phoenix Suns' quest to participate in the 2012 NBA playoffs.

For this edition of MLM, I asked for the opinions of my fellow writers here at Beantown Banter. Your fabulous owner, Stephen Bailey, suggested Raef LaFrentz. So I said, what the hell? Let’s do the Raefer.
LaFrentz played in Boston from 2003-06 after being traded there from the Dallas Mavericks in a package that sent beloved star Antoine Walker to Dallas. Needless to say, Raef...
