The Phoenix Football Suns


I was idly thinking about the football season, and my mind started wandering back to our beloved Suns.  I began to think of our players and how they compare to their pigskin counterparts.
  Feel fr\ee to trash my comparisons, add new ones, and it's on to the Super Bowl, er NBA finals!  (All in good fun)

Who is going to get the eighth spot in the West?

 

With all of the moaning and groaning going on, and the curious trend of fans of other teams posting here (Warrior, Blazers, Spurs, Lakers, etc.), I thought it prudent to create a reasoned discussion on our chances in the upcoming season.  Specifically, the eighth spot, which I believe is ours barring injuries.

Gutless Suns succumb to Mavs' bullying

I hate to say it, but the Suns' refusal to stand up for a teammate is what I think sparked the loss

Draftees in the NCAA tournament

At the risk of being accused of giving up the season, I thought it prudent to start a thread on the players that might be available to us with our pick, which will either be #14 or #16.  Since the end of the regular season is a month away, and the tournament is upon us, we should at least know what we are talking about when we discuss the options.  Courtesy of the stumbling economy, I find myself out of a job, which will enable me to see most of the games.

Rodney Rodgers news

I will always remember him in his Suns days.  He had a great 6th man year before we traded him to the Celtics for Joe Johnson.

Selling draft picks

I know many here think D'A wouldn't have played these guys, but I think it is time for Sarver to acknowledge the grave damage he has done to the franchise in selling draft picks...

Flagrant fouls. Does the penalty fit the crime?

Flagrant fouls have become a joke in the NBA, and it is time to come up with an idea to reduce or eliminate them,  This is not hockey.

Player combinations: what makes them great?

Recently Shaq said in a Paul Coro article that he and Kobe were “the best one-two punch in the history of the game”.  That got me thinking.  We need some definitions here.  For instance, is this for one season, or for a whole career?  How do you measure the career stat?  Most championships?  Also, what defines a great one-two combinations?  A point guard/center (5/1)?  Two forwards (3/4)?  A 2/3 combo?  Let’s look at some candidates.

Clips and Sonics trade

Apparently the Clippers are so enamored with Riussell Westbrook, they traded with Seattle to make sure they get him.  #4 goes to the Clips in exchange for the #7 and next years #1.  Seattle wants Brook Lopez.

Guess that meant the Barbs for #7 and Maggette is by the boards.  Now LA keeps Magette and loses perhaps the #15 in a weak draft next year.  Do you think we missed out?  Maggette may have been just a rental, but the pick might have been Joe Alexander.
