As I sit in my recliner watching Armageddon late Saturday night (with the rest of the family sleeping- I should be, too, but I enjoy the quiet house to wind down after a busy day), I realize that I am not as jacked up for the Suns/Spurs game in the morning as I normally would be. After all, for years, the Spurs have been the enemy, the Anti-Suns, Kryptonite. Tonight, I don't feel the same. [...]

It seemed pretty much like a normal, every day win for the Phoenix Suns.
Amare Stoudemire scored 25 points and Shaquille O'Neal added 16 points and 15 rebounds as the Suns beat Portland 111-98 at the Rose Garden. The win was the Suns' fifth straight, and it pushed their overall record to 45-22, which at the time, was just a game behind the Los Angeles Lakers in [...]

We didn’t expect the Suns to go 82-0, but the beat-down in Orlando Tuesday night was a wakeup call for people who think the Suns can just run themselves into title contention.
The Magic played without both wing players shooting [...]

I think what cinched it was a journalism convention I attended in high school. An old sports columnist was holding court in a seminar, describing his occupation to a group of wide-eyed wanna-be's.
“We’re the guys who watch the battle from the trees, then come down afterward and shoot the wounded,” he croaked enough to show off a coffee-stained smile.
Needless to say, I was hooked.
I couldn’t hit, throw, shoot, [...]

With the Charlotte Bobcats in town, fans' thoughts have turned to former Sun Boris Diaw.
Thoughts such as "if Porter was never hired would Diaw still be here?" and "if only Diaw were still a Sun, we'd have a power forward to fill in for Amare." permeate the collective conscious of Suns fans.
Some people, like my colleague Vince Marotta, go as far as to say [...]

Due to recent events, there's a lot of people that root for the Phoenix Suns who wish one Boris Diaw was still around.
Two and a half months ago, the trade that sent Diaw, guard Raja Bell and guard Sean Singletary to the Charlotte Bobcats in exchange for guard Jason Richardson and forward Jared Dudley was almost unanimously applauded. The Suns had been struggling offensively, and many [...]

Could Mike D'Antoni be plotting to reunite his Suns' roster in New York?
Prior to the Knicks' 93-89 win over the Charlotte Bobcats last night in North Carolina, D'Antoni had (predictably) nice things to say about Boris Diaw, the forward acquired by Charlotte in the deal that sent Jason Richardson to the Suns. "He's playing really well," D'Antoni said.
It's no secret that D'Antoni [...]

Here at Fanster.com, we’ll be spending the last few weeks of 2008 counting down the biggest sports stories in the Valley over the last 12 months.
After Mike D’Antoni bolted for the bright lights and dollar signs of New York (or was pushed out, depending on what side you’re on), GM Steve Kerr was looking for a new coach. A coach that would play a deeper [...]
