Seasons of Discontent

Disclaimer – I realize how unpopular this opinion is going to be.  And frankly…I don’t really care. I’ll make this short, but due to my recent purchase of Bill Simmons’ Book of Basketball and a recent ESPN 30 for 30, I’ve got to get it off my chest – the only reason we are still [...]

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 [...]

How could I have possibly been asked to ignore the NBA Draft Lottery solection show? Bad teams + ping pong balls + Suns = running diary time. The festivities began with NBA Shootaround at 5PM : :00 minutes – Apparently NBA Shootaround will be a mix of a Nuggets/Lakers preview and a lottery preview. Stu [...]

After a two day hiatus the Nightcap returns with love in our hearts. Lakers 89 Rockets 70 – The good Lakers showed up, or the bad Rockets, honestly I have no idea, either way the Lakers won.  This game was never close as it took Houston over 5 minutes to get their first point and [...]

On April 10th, Ohio State walk-on benchwarmer and blogger Mark Titus decided to forego his senior season and put his name in the NBA Draft. Perhaps a little strange for a guy with 8 career points in 30 career minutes right? Clearly Titus, who in his blog “Club Trillion” exhibits a pretty hilarious sense of [...]
