The Timberwolves had to have something positive to talk about after last night's mauling at the hands of the Suns. Too bad Robin Lopez was the victim. And we mean victim (see below). Still, aside from being a foolish poster boy, Lopez had a good night (along with everyone else wearing a Suns uniform). Devin likes the bench with Barbosa's scoring at its disposal, but agrees with Gentry that [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

There's no other way to put it...ASU soiled the bed in their first round Pac-10 Tournament loss to Stanford. Not only did co-host Travis Johnson take the loss hard, it made him physically sick. Travis joins Luke Lapinski and myself for the Friday edition of The Show To Be Named Later on Fanster.com.
Segment 1 (0:00) - ASU may have strangled its own chances for an [...]

Matt and Devin debate about the Suns' toughness, as well as what/who motivated Amare's trend toward that area. Was Robin Lopez a better influence for Amare than Shaq? Find out who you agree with, and send in your own opinion to sevenminutesorless@fanster.com.
S.M.O.L. is a Phoenix [...]

There are certain things that are viewed as universal "truths". The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. A week is seven days long. Nicolas Cage plays the same character no matter what the script calls for. The San Antonio Spurs are dirty and the Phoenix Suns are soft. I guess four out of five [...]
