It is no secret that the Suns aren’t a very good basketball team right now and they might have hit the lowest point of the season after yesterday. They had to come back from a 18-point deficit against the lowly Los Angeles Clippers and fell short in their comeback losing 108-103. The Suns wasted great [...]

Jared Dudley had a career high 27 points in his second straight start, but a poor third quarter was too much to come back from for the Suns as the San Antonio Spurs won 118-110 on Monday night. Phoenix held a one point halftime lead, but were outscored 40-24 in the third quarter. Besides Dudley’s 27 [...]

It might have been a different date, but the Suns 1o6-99 loss to the Trail Blazers last night felt real similar to the game that the two teams played to start off the season. Like in their first matchup, the Suns had control of the game in the first three quarters, but a poor final [...]

Steve Nash’s 20 points and 17 assists and a lopsided third quarter gave the Suns an easy 125-108 victory over the Washington Wizards on Sunday night. Suddenly, the Suns have won three straight and are starting to play good ball. Nash probably had his best game of the season on both sides of the court. [...]
