Note to Suns: free throws are free
The Suns got their butts handed to them in rebounding last night, to the tune of 56-38. It’s an obvious weakness and a problem, but they aren’t going to overcome their lack of size every night. Let’s leave it at that and hell, chalk up last night’s performance as an ...

Suns suffer first “bad loss” of the year
A 10-2 NBA team should probably beat a 4-8 NBA team, right? Before you decide, consider that just 8 days earlier, the 10-2 team beat the 4-8 team by 20 points. Since then, the 4-8 team’s best player injured his ankle and is out for about a month. Hornets' rookie Darren Collison ...
