Epic failure has a new home.

A few days ago a co-worker of mine in the salt mines asked me why I hadn’t yet posted anything about the Suns so far this preseason – my answer was because I hadn’t yet seen them either live or on TV. Now that I finally got to see a game I find it only [...]

We have shown you but a few of the sides of the Rubik’s cube that was and is Kevin Johnson. At this point there should be no doubt that he is a force but just in case you have doubts we present a montage to halt your nay saying. We bring you : KJ – A Force. A [...]
My love of NBA Summer League hoops is no mystery to faithful readers of SoD. The games are a pleasure to watch even though they are played at a relatively low and sloppy level and the foul limit sits at 10. Most teams have a roster filled with rookies (ex. Suns F Earl Clark), 2nd [...]
Break out the Hall of Fame ballot, Blake Griffin had 27 and 12 in last night’s summer league game. I know that’s what you are thinking Clipper fan but hold your horses. Adam Morrison is averaging 22 and 5 and Robin Lopez had 24 and 16 in his first game. If that isn’t enough to [...]

Now that I’m a Suns season ticket holder for the first time I feel a bit of extra investment in the team and their moves – basically I don’t want them to completely suck this year. The Shaq move was good, and I’m hoping they don’t deal Amare but to be completely serious, I don’t [...]

On the eve of the NBA Draft, I wanted to take a look back at one of the more hilarious post-draft press conferences in recent Suns history. I am speaking of the one-and-only Jake Tsakalidis, who responded to ESPN’s draft day questions with two words: “Free” and “Strong.” The “free” related to his ability to extricate himself from his [...]

I come to you tonight as SoD’s first international writer. With times being tough in the blogosphere we’ve decided to expand our little Mom and Pop operation on a global basis – either that or I’m here on business for my real job…I’ll let you decide. A lot has apparently changed since I last set [...]

I assume you’re surprised. As you may remember I once wrote about my dislike of Spanier due to his pension for yelling in the morning hours – well in the light of a few recent suggestions I’ve changed my tune. In the last few days Spanier has presented some ideas on his local radio program [...]
Well, it’s Conference Finals time – this means the Nightcap is about to get even sexier. Bet you didn’t think that was possible. Lakers 105 Nuggets 103 – Simply put, the Nuggets gave away a golden opportunity (Puns! -Ed.). With the chance to take a 1-0 lead in their first conference finals since 1985, Denver [...]

Just a quick note 5 minutes before the draft – While more common to the NFL draft (and Card’s draft picks in particular) the “winners” of the NBA draft can be saddled with a millstone around their neck, in the form of overpaid, underperforming high first-round draft picks. Paging Kwame Brown to the white courtesy [...]
