Sadly, Suns Head Athletic Trainer (and Steelers fan) Aaron Nelson will not have tickets to the Super Bowl this Sunday.
Suns Head Coach Alvin Gentry brought him a fancy, new jacket. Can the Steelers bring him another NFL championship? [Read more...]
Lineup Changes Here to Stay… Vs. Nets, Anyway
January 19, 2010 By
The Suns’ starting lineup changes in Monday’s getaway game in Memphis weren’t enough to salvage the 0-4 road trip, but that doesn’t mean the team is “one and done” when it comes to juggling the roster spots. [Read more...]
Hey! Another Road Trip
December 16, 2009 By
See this image? After the one-game jaunt to Portland for Thursday's contest, Suns road trips will seem like a distant memory... at least until after the December 25 game.
For a team that obviously loves playing at home, the Suns have certainly spent enough time away from there this season.
Expect that trend to change… well, after yet one more road trip, anyway.

Suns chances good this season
September 30, 2008 By
“Who can look into the seeds of time and see which will grow and which will not?” Shakespeare complained in one of his crankier moods.
Well, sports bloggers, that’s who!
So, without further ado, the seeds envelope please.
Well, okay, a little more ado. A year ago at this time the word to the wise for the excited citizenry of Planet Orange was, “Calm down.” This year it’s “Cheer up.” [Read more...]

When last season ended with that loss to San Antonio, and Mike D’Antoni departed for Gotham, it was hard to be optimistic.
All the talk was about the Suns’ aging core, the “failure” of the trade for Shaquille O’Neal, and the futility of the run-and-gun system in the playoffs. Sourpusses (like me) predicted a downturn in fortune and some years of rebuilding. After all, how much could the team change?
Well.
Step One, hire Terry Porter as Head Coach. A pro’s pro as a player, he’s got the respect of everyone on the team. Heck, after all the times he tortured the Suns in the playoffs as a member of the Portland Trailblazers, I certainly respect him. He knows defense, he knows offense. He can teach. And he’s committed to playing a deep rotation. [Read more...]
