Seasons of Discontent

Unless you live under some sort of bridge (in which case you’re probably a hobo…or a troll) you know that the Suns didn’t trade Amar’e Stoudemire at the NBA trade deadline.  Now Amar’e will be going into the summer with the opportunity to opt out of his contract and leave the Suns with nothing.  Of [...]

Apparently this trade is close to happening.  If you’re not a big fan of clicking links I’ll just lay it out for you:
Suns recieve:
J.J. Hickson & Zydrunas Ilgauskas
Cavs recieve:
Amar’e Stoudemire
On Friday night, Bright Side of the Sun touched on a possible deal that would bring Hickson and Big Z to Phoenix, but it also [...]

If you believe what you read in the papers (and I always do because the media has never lied…ever) the Suns really want Sixers swingman Andre Iguodala.  Apparently really, really bad.  Why you may ask?  Well he’s a pretty good all-around player – he can score, rebound, pass, and defend.  Not a bad combo right?

Well, well, well Phoenix-area professional basketball team – look what you’ve done.  If you’d asked me exactly a week ago if I thought there was any hope whatsoever for the 26-21 Suns as they played Dallas before heading off on a 4 game road trip (featuring 3 Western Conference contenders no less) I would have [...]

Due to the recent stretch of Suns games in which they’ve blown leads of 24 (Bucks), 13 (Heat), 16 (Rockets), 19 (Kings), and the team’s 10-11 record since December first I’ve begun to view the season with a bit more of my standard pessimism – and taking a peak at the Western Conference standings it [...]

I couldn’t really call this a end of 2009 wrap, nor a look-ahead to 2010 so I’ll just go ahead and call it exactly what it is – a run-down on some of my thoughts and feelings on the Suns through 36 games.  It’s a smattering of unorganized thoughts – I know that’s your favorite.

If you read this site you know that my love for Michael Beasley has been well-documented.  However, since we’ve only had this blog since April of last year you are likely unaware of the fact that (like so many Suns fans) I’m not a big Boris Diaw fan.  So thanks for this Beaz (and might [...]

During the first quarter of the Suns Monday night win over the Lakers I remarked to the fine folks sitting next to me that we shouldn’t be expecting much from Jason Richardson over the course of the game.  Living up to expectation, J-Rich scored 4 points on 1/6 shooting (1/5 from three) which led me [...]
