Re: Amare Stoudemire's Ring of Honor Ceremony

I found this somewhat interesting, although Career Win Shares rewards long careers (A.C. Green, Chandler, Young) and penalizes players with relatively short careers (Amar'e, Westphal, KJ). Also, some of these guys (Shaq, Carter, J. O'Neal) were only Suns long enough for a cup of coffee. Some interes...

Re: Amare Stoudemire's Ring of Honor Ceremony

D'Antoni is a strong possibility, and certainly deserving. Still, it takes a while to get all the Sarver stink scrubbed off the franchise and correct all the things he ignored. Do you know if Jerry has ever come out and said anything regarding Robert Sarver, or selling the team to him in the first ...

Re: Amare Stoudemire's Ring of Honor Ceremony

They weren't ready tonight at tipoff. Allen didn't give them squat and without Nurk in they don;t have any big bodies to clog the paint.

The really need to consentrate on roster construction this offseason.

Re: Amare Stoudemire's Ring of Honor Ceremony

If you look around the NBA I think retured numbers fall in four different catagories. First is the "MVP Type" - Players who played at the level where they were considered for the award or perhaps even won one - Suns: Charles Barkley, Steve Nash Then the "All-NBA Type" - They wer...

Why didn't any of the Nash teams make it out of the west?
Mostly the lack of defense. Nash and Sotudemire were never strong defensively.

Re: Around the NBA: Week 19 (2/26 - 3/3)

It almost happened again. If you guys watched the Mavs @ Cavs game tonight, towards the end you see Green pull down Darius Garland and no foul was called. Cavs were able to get the time out, but no ref blew the whistle for the foul. Straus hit the game winning three from halfcourt. It turned into a...

When we moved out here from Michigan in '83 Val Vista was the last exit on the 60! Look at it now! When I was in high school in 1980 or 1981 desert parties we held around where Union Hills Road is now. Bell Road was for all practical purposes the north end of the urban sprawl. Al long trip from hom...

Old heads Young punks How many here remember when North High was on the northern edge of Phoenix? North HS opened in 1939 and the homes around Osborn Road (just north of North HS) were built in 1940. I guess you could really consider that to still be the north part of up to about the mid-1950's bec...

Re: Game Day: Lakers (31-27) @ Suns (33-24), Sun 2/25/24

I think winning cures most ills. People like winning. Winning is always more fun than losing. Almost all the team was new this year along with the coach. I think it’s hard to throw a bunch of guys together with a new coach and expect them to gel like they have been together a long time. I think I s...

Re: Game Day: Lakers (31-27) @ Suns (33-24), Sun 2/25/24

The '04-'10 run will just never be topped. Such wonderful, fun, awesome teams. Highlight of my Suns fandom. Other would say the same for 1970-72 or 1976-83 or 1988-95. It all depends on your age. I enjoyed the Hornacek-KJ-EJ-Chambers-Barkley-Majerle years and the Nash-Stoudemire-Marion-Barbosa year...
