Lets get this over with right away. The overhyped Superman vs Superman Jr was bust. Unlike when LeBron and Wade hooked up for their epic battle Monday night , when these behemoths lock horns they are dependent their team mates getting them the ball.
The result was both of the monster of the ...

the Phoenix Suns have become Shaq's team. Except they...
haven't. Or maybe some days they are. Then they aren't. It's like the weather in the mid-west, if you don't like the answer just wait five minutes and it will change. Again. And that's the story of ...

SLC Dunk —
Good news in the Association last night for the Jazz. Let's get the reax from Boozer.
SUNS 99 @ MAGIC 111
The Jazz get a little distance between themselves and the Suns. Am I the only one sick of the whole Superman thing? Between the All-Star game, the dunk contest, and now Shaq/Howard, it's a little old. And frankly, it's a little WWE.
RAPTORS 97 @ ROCKETS 107
We're going with the mixed reaction on this one. We lose a ...

A Devil of an Idea
phoenix.fanster.com 3/11/2009 — This is what I imagine the Suns’ whiteboard may have looked like this morning.

They were energized and motivated and were playing with a joy that has been missing for a large ...
Suns finish "easy streak" with improved balance
brightsideofthesun.com 3/22/2009 — When we looked at the schedule a week ago and saw four games against teams with worse records then the Suns we assumed it would be a fairly easy streak. Especially coming off the previous 6 straight losses all at the hands of statistical betters.
None of us expected the wins to come in the ...
