Suns cruise through the Grizzlies

That would be 8 in a row now 127-113

Without Shaq in the line up due to a hip contusion, the Suns scored at least 30 points or more in 3 of the 4 quarters. It was an equal contribution from each starter and bench player that made this a pretty easy night for the Suns even without Shaq in the middle. With the exception of Amare, who had a STAT kind of night with 28 points and 11 rebounds. This was the 8th win in a row against the Grizzlies and a very big win going into tomorrows game against the Spurs because if everyone contributes like tonights game, the Spurs will not have a chance.

Suns go into Memphis Tuesday

This game should be a blowout Tip off 5pm pst 8pm est

The Suns should have no problem beating a team that has allowed more than 110 points on average the last 10 games. Not to mention that the suns have beaten them 7 games in a row by about 15 or so points each time. This would be a good momentum game before they play San Antonio the the next day on Wednesday.

9 Points in the 4th Quarter!?

Suns fire extinguished in 4th Loss 105-98

All I can say is wow! What the hell happened in the 4th quarter. The Suns led the whole game holding off Dallas every time they tried to surge, mostly matching buckets but with the Suns mainly winning by ten or so most of the game. Then the 4th quarter came, the Suns only scored 2 points all the way until there was a little over 4 minutes left in the game. They managed to squeeze out 7 more points in the remaining time to get a grand total of 9. They practically missed every shot they put up and plain lost all grip of the game all together. The Suns really need to beat these big teams in the west because if this is what we have to look forward to, then we are in trouble.

What a beat down!

Can't say that I am surprised Suns Win 117-88

The Suns once again proved they are going to be a tough team to beat when they are healthy and running. The Suns after one quarter were up by 16 and that was pretty much the game. The Suns dominated the whole game, leaving no doubt on what they have their eyes set on. Its not just getting passed the first round or second round. Its all about the ring this year! Even in garbage time, they were still firing 3 pointers even being up by about 30 points near the end of the game. The Suns don't just want to win, they want to beat you down and not let you forget about it. Grant Hill showed fans that he was just fine, putting up 16 points and 10 rebounds. Every single player on the team at least scored a bucket or more. Amare Stoudemire's MVP season continues with 24 points 9 rebounds 2 blocks. (one shown on left)

Allen Houston to the Suns next season?

Allen Houston to the suns?

Allen Houston visited Phoenix to check up on his old team-mate Grant Hill and to talk to the best medical training treatment staff in the NBA. There is speculation of Houston possibly returning to the NBA next season to play for the Suns. I don't exactly buy the hype myself. Don't get me wrong, it can be a good fit, because one thing Allen Houston can do is shoot. He would be another threat for the suns on the outside, kind of like a Craig Hodges of the bulls. Coming off the Bench to hit some crucial baskets might be what the Suns may be thinking if they go through with this. In any case, I still think this is just hype. ( For those of you who don't know who Craig Hodges is, he was part of the first bulls dynasty team in 1991 as a three point specialist.)

Grant Hill may play against T-Wolves

Grant Hill expected to return to lineup

Grant Hill may play on friday against the Timberwolves, stating that he feels good enough at practice today. This means with Hill back in the lineup, Barbosa is going to see more time on the bench. In my opinion he should probably make sure he is 100% before he comes back. We can't afford to lose him playoff time when the games really count.

Look into fridays game against the Timberwolves

Fridays game vs Timberwolves tip off 7pm pst 10pm est

The Suns go into the game looking for blood after barely losing to the Nuggets the last game. Every win/loss is crucial in the western conference. This should be a pretty easy game for the suns. The Timberwolves average roughly 95 point a game, 28th in the NBA.
