Note to Suns: free throws are free
The Suns got their butts handed to them in rebounding last night, to the tune of 56-38. It’s an obvious weakness and a problem, but they aren’t going to overcome their lack of size every night. Let’s leave it at that and hell, chalk up last night’s performance...
Pick and Roll: taking us into December
As we all know, next Thursday is Thanksgiving. From the looks of things, my schedule is pretty full of playing football, eating, watching football, napping, eating, drinking, napping, watching football, eating, drinking, eating, and well, eating. As such, Pick and Roll will not...
Suns suffer first “bad loss” of the year
A 10-2 NBA team should probably beat a 4-8 NBA team, right?
Before you decide, consider that just 8 days earlier, the 10-2 team beat the 4-8 team by 20 points. Since then, the 4-8 team’s best player injured his ankle and is out for about a month.
Well, that 10-2 team paid a [...]
The Sports Retorter: The “How To” edition
Today one of my favorite basketball magazines and websites, SLAM, announced that their next issue will be their “how to” issue. It will feature articles by NBA stars, fans, trainers and broadcasters describing how to do various basketball related activities. For example...
R.I.P. Uga VII
Over the past two seasons, we’ve been able to spend a good deal of time with some great Georgia Bulldogs fans.
A chunk of us were lucky enough to make the trip down to Athens and be embraced by the warm hospitality of Georgia fans.
Of course, one of the staples of Georgia football...
Why are the Suns cursed on TNT?
The Suns play on TNT tonight for the second straight week. Last week’s loss to the Lakers marked the fifteenth straight time they’ve lost in front of the cable network’s national audience. The question is, why?
The answer? Bad luck, poor play, a curse? Your guess...
Haren finishes 5th in NL Cy Young voting
Tim Lincecum of the San Francisco Giants won his 2nd consecutive National League Cy Young Award in one of the closest votes ever, beating out St. Louis right-handers Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainwright, who finished 2nd and 3rd, respectively. Only ten points separated the three pitchers...
Crystal Balls Week 12 - A showdown in Tucson
When you looked at the Pac-10 schedule back in the summer, I bet you didn’t circle the Oregon-Arizona game in Tucson as the game that would determine the conference’s representative in the Rose Bowl.
Well, it’s boiled down to that.
The Ducks, with one conference loss...
Brownie Points: Can the Suns get even better?
Nobody asked, but …
* Isn’t funny how Mark Mangino’s current and former players are now coming out of the woodwork to carve him up now that Kansas has lost five games and are out of the major bowl hunt?
I’m not saying Mangino didn’t do what he’s accused of. It just seems like it [...]

Suns head to the “Big Easy” to face Hornets
Eight days ago, the New Orleans Hornets came to Phoenix and endured a good, old-fashioned beatdown from the Suns, 124-104.
The next day, Hornets’ management decided it was time for a change, and they fired head coach Byron Scott, who had a 203-216 record in 6 seasons, and was...
UNLV Wants WHO?
Last September, I, along with about 55,000 of you out there, stood in stunned silence as the UNLV Rebels shocked the Pac-10 and knocked off Arizona State 23-20 in OT at Sun Devil Stadium.
It was supposed to be a landmark win for UNLV head coach Mike Sanford as he turned that program...
Who To Start? It Won’t Be Brock
Amidst the excitement of a 3-0 start and a trip to New York City for ASU men’s basketball, the guys on the gridiron still have two games to play.
Lest we forget, considering the team’s current four-game skid.
The question surrounding this Saturday’s afternoon tilt...
Coyotes Bounce Back with Win Against The Wild
It was a real nail biter as the Phoenix Coyotes took on the Minnesota Wild Wednesday night. Playing much cleaner (they lost their fondness for the penalty box) stronger and with Bryzgalov in net, my Yotes looked like a whole different team than Monday night but it was a real back and...
Coyotes Fans..You Don’t Know How Good You’ve Got It
With all the recent promotions that the Coyotes think tank have put together, it’s come to my attention just how lucky us Yotes fans are.
Let’s start with our pricing. At just $15 for an upper level ticket we are the lowest priced team in the league with tickets elsewhere...
Men’s Basketball Recruiting Outlook
Editors Note: We have a new basketball writer here at Pitchfork Nation. His name is Eric Salisbury, and he’s taking the ‘ole college try at this blogging thing. He may get a bit wordy for the blogosphere, but he was one of the few to storm the court when we beat...
Forget Shane Battier, the Suns have their own “No-Stats All-Star”
Back in February Michael Lewis, author of Moneyball and The Blind Side, wrote a special piece for the New York Times entitled “The No-Stats All-Star”. The title wasn’t a knock on the player it featured, former Duke star and ACC player of the Year Shane Battier, rather...
STBNL Wednesday - The Suns keep on rolling

Shades Of January Emerge In Devils Win
January 17 seems like an eternity ago.
On an otherwise unremarkable Saturday afternoon, the day before the Valley was whipped into a frenzy over the Arizona Cardinals advancing to Super Bowl XLIII, the Arizona State Sun Devils did the unthinkable.

10 @Sun Devils You Should Follow
James Harden - @jhard13 - Usually posts on which city’s mall he is shopping at that day. Entertaining nonetheless.
Jeff Pendergraph - @TheRealJP31 - Will be a bit more fun to follow once he recovers from hip surgery.
Herb Sendek - @HerbSendek - Does a great job of keeping...
Suns streak past Rockets in 4th
Let’s face it…Tuesday night in Houston looked like it would be a long one for the Phoenix Suns.
The Rockets came out on fire, hitting 5 three-pointers in the game’s first six minutes to build a 34-22 lead over the Suns after the first quarter. And when rookie Chase...
