NBA: Dallas vs Phoenix Nov 4
Nothing gets the blood of Suns fans boiling quicker than mentioning the name Robert Sarver. From his first major deal, the botched Joe Johnson contract, he has done nothing in his tenure of Suns ownership to prove that he has any long term plan on how to run the Suns franchise. The current Amar’e Stoudemire situation proves as much. [...]

Hey, sorry about the two-day absence of STBNL. Pneumonia has a way of making you not want to talk...or laugh...or breathe really. But I've got the right drugs now to put this illness in its place--on with "The Show To Be Named Later" with myself and the big redhead Mark Weber. Segment 1 (0:00) - The well-rested and relaxed Phoenix Suns took the court at USAC [...]

Poor Rush Limbaugh. I really feel for the guy. After all, this is America; a place where spewing hatred, separatism and racial insensitivity should have no bearing on a man’s right and license to print money as an NFL owner. Getting on the radio and saying whatever you want about whoever you want without regard to accuracy or fear of reproach is the American way. It’s the very [...]

The buzz in the political world is the culmination of President Obama's first 100 days in office. As the pundits debate which campaign promises were failures and which were upheld we here at Fanster decided to put together our own panel to take a look at failed Phoenix sports campaign promises. After much research and many days of debate (OK, really it was minutes) our esteemed panel [...]

Photo: AP 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 [...]

Suns Clippers Basketball
Photo: Hector Mata/AP I know it's only two huge wins against the Los Angeles Clippers, who were without several key components of their already sorry team, but I'm liking the Alvin Gentry version of the Suns. Realistically, there's not much Gentry has done to change what the Suns are doing. Yes, he announced that the Suns were going back to a breakneck pace, [...]

The inmates are running the asylum. The players wanted Terry Porter gone, and so he is. The Alvin Gentry "era" begins tonight at U.S. Airways Center against the Los Angeles Clippers. There has to be a weight off the backs of the players, mixed with a dose of harsh reality. They wanted it this way. They want to run. There's 31 games left, and [...]

Steve Nash is Phoenix's darling, and with good reason. He's won 2 MVPs and has been at the controls of a team that had averaged 58 wins over the last four seasons, and twice advanced to the Western Conference Finals. This season obviously hasn't gone as smoothly for Nash or the Suns. Everyone is searching for someone to blame for the fact that the Phoenix Suns, a [...]
