A Summer of False Promise

Break out the Hall of Fame ballot, Blake Griffin had 27 and 12 in last night’s summer league game.  I know that’s what you are thinking Clipper fan but hold your horses.  Adam Morrison is averaging 22 and 5 and Robin Lopez had 24 and 16 in his first game. If that isn’t enough to [...]

Falling in Love with Earl Clark

Now that I’m a Suns season ticket holder for the first time I feel a bit of extra investment in the team and their moves – basically I don’t want them to completely suck this year.  The Shaq move was good, and I’m hoping they don’t deal Amare but to be completely serious,  I don’t [...]

The Two Jakes

On the eve of the NBA Draft, I wanted to take a look back at one of the more hilarious post-draft press conferences in recent Suns history.  I am speaking of the one-and-only Jake Tsakalidis, who responded to ESPN’s draft day questions with two words:  “Free” and “Strong.”  The “free” related to his ability to extricate himself from his [...]

Arnie Spanier is a Genius

NBA Nightcap – May 19th Edition

Well, it’s Conference Finals time – this means the Nightcap is about to get even sexier.  Bet you didn’t think that was possible. Lakers 105 Nuggets 103 – Simply put, the Nuggets gave away a golden opportunity (Puns! -Ed.).  With the chance to take a 1-0 lead in their first conference finals since 1985, Denver [...]

Random Running Diary: NBA Draft Lottery Selection Show

How could I have possibly been asked to ignore the NBA Draft Lottery solection show? Bad teams + ping pong balls + Suns = running diary time. The festivities began with NBA Shootaround at 5PM : :00 minutes – Apparently NBA Shootaround will be a mix of a Nuggets/Lakers preview and a lottery preview. Stu [...]

NBA Nightcap – May 17th Edition

After a two day hiatus the Nightcap returns with love in our hearts. Lakers 89 Rockets 70 – The good Lakers showed up, or the bad Rockets, honestly I have no idea, either way the Lakers won.  This game was never close as it took Houston over 5 minutes to get their first point and [...]

Humorless NBA Does Not Find Jokes to be Funny

On April 10th, Ohio State walk-on benchwarmer and blogger Mark Titus decided to forego his senior season and put his name in the NBA Draft. Perhaps a little strange for a guy with 8 career points in 30 career minutes right? Clearly Titus, who in his blog “Club Trillion” exhibits a pretty hilarious sense of [...]
