Weekends are my most productive time. Plowing through piles of laundry, eliminating clutter and whipping up a few dozen cookies are all in a Sunday's work. This past weekend I came across the copy of Free Throw I grabbed back in November when the Phoenix Suns played host to the New Orleans Hornets. At the time, save for Steve Nash, I knew none of the Suns by name so stats and polls [...]

Tonight is a game the Suns should not lose, but Phoenix always seems to let those kind of games get more competitive than they should be. Barbosa's back too (finally), and has the gall to demand a minimum amount of playing time after chickening out of the Lakers game. Am I being too harsh saying it like that? Personally, if you ditch out on an important game and then [...]

Charles Bukowski, my favorite writer, once wrote: Drinking is an emotional thing. It joggles you out of the standardism of everyday life ... It yanks you out of your body and your mind and throws you against the wall. I have the feeling that drinking is a form of suicide where you're allowed to return to life and begin all over the next day. Substitute the word "Drinking" [...]

Steve Nash is back at it with another Meathawk production and this time, well he's got a package for Robin Lopez. It's a little odd, a little off the wall and completely Steve Nash. Good to see Robin Lopez show some personality too. If only he were a little more like Nash, he'd be on SportsCenter more.

It's a question we can seriously consider in the wake of Amare's sustained tear: is he the best power foward in the league? Thanks to Keaton wondering this aloud, we ponder both the answer and the gravity of the question. Plus, we give thanks to Robin Lopez for doing a better job than Shaq bringing out the best in Amare. That's not to say we don't understand if you disagree. [...]

NBA 2009: Lakers Beat Jazz 113-100
Much was made of Lou Amundson’s 11 point, 10-rebound effort off the bench against the Lakers, and deservedly so. He succeeded where Robin Lopez (zero rebounds in 19 minutes) failed miserably, and the hope that Lopez would give the Suns a better chance against the bigger Lakers fizzled quickly amid fouls and other poor decisions. But in a much more [...]

A couple inconsolable Suns fans pick apart last night's lost to the Lakers, breaking down the good (Amundson and Co.), bad (Lopez's no-show) and ugly (crunch-time no-calls). Has Lou earned more playing time, and does Channing Frye's versatility open the door for that to happen? Plus, we open the mailbag and address a S.M.O.L. critic. E-mail your take on where the Suns go from here to sevenminutesorless@fanster.com, and we'll read [...]
