Steve Nash Should be Furious With the Phoenix Suns

I was watching ESPN’s NBA draft coverage this morning when the most alarming story came across the screen. The Phoenix Suns had been holding talks with the Minnesota Timberwolves about sending Steve Nash in trade for Minnesota’s number two pick.
I was furious and Nash should be as well. Anyone who has read my previous columns knows I make no bones about being a Nash homer, but even the most passive Suns fan should be appalled by this. Thankfully, talks have ended but that doesn’t unring that bell. (more…)

It is never easy to watch the playoffs with the Suns not participating in them. Despite the Suns missing the postseason for the second time in three seasons, there have been a lot for Phoenix fans to enjoy over the last couple of months of postseason play.
Of course, the early exits by the hated Spurs and the Lakers are at the top of the list. It always hurts whenever the Suns miss out on a postseason chance, but it stings a little less when the fans of those teams suffer. God knows they have provided us Suns fans enough suffering over recent years. (more…)

Now that the season is over we come upon another season of tumult. The burning question is do we reload or rebuild. There is a core that can be built around but before construction, there must first be deconstruction.
Last season the question was keep Amar’e Stoudemire or let him walk. This season the same question lingers over Steve Nash. What should the Suns do this offseason? Here is a player-by-player breakdown of The Greg One’s plan for Suns improvement, starting at the top. (more…)

The Suns are already looking toward next season, but more than half of the NBA will be playing games this weekend to fight to play well into June for a chance at a NBA championship. I am going to look at each first round series and give my thoughts and predictions for each. Don’t hold me to these predictions when these series are over. I am no Nostradamus after all.
Phoenix Suns Drop Fourth Straight Game
With the playoffs all but out of reach, the main thing that the Suns have to do is compete night in and night out to close out the season. They did it for 36 minutes tonight against the Thunder, but laid a stinker in the fourth quarter in their 116-98 defeat for their fourth straight loss.
Going into the fourth, Phoenix only trailed OKC by six, but a quick run in the first couple of minutes of the quarter by the Thunder put the game out of reach for the Suns. At the 1:05 mark, lead official Ken Mauer ejected both Zabian Dowdell and Aaron Brooks out of the game in a move that you never see. The ejections will result in fines for both players. You have to feel for Dowdell, who is only making the league minimum. (more…)
