Phoenix Suns’ Eric Bledsoe destroys Clippers’ Jared Cunningham

Well that’s not nice. Late in the third quarter of Wednesday’s preseason game between the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Clippers, Suns guard Eric Bledsoe had the ball near the three-point line. Looking to shake defender Jared Cunningham, he started dribbling hard to his left before pulling up to shoot a three. Cunningham, unfortunately, was […]

Could the Phoenix Suns trade Gerald Green?

The 2014-15 NBA regular season hasn’t started yet, but undoubtedly you’ve heard references to the number of guards the Phoenix Suns have on their roster. In case you’re wondering or scrambling to a roster to find out just how many backcourt players the Suns have, the answer is seven. Of the seven, only one will […]

Phoenix Suns need to ‘bring it at all times’ to win this season

PHOENIX, Ariz. — For a first impression, the Phoenix Suns failed to impress. Sure, there were some bright spots in the preseason opener against Brazilian club team Flamengo. Isaiah Thomas’ 18 second half points off the bench comes to mind, even Eric Bledsoe’s 15 points on 7-of-10 shooting or Marcus Morris’ 10-point, seven rebound, four […]

Grant Hill thinks expectations will be a challenge for 2014-15 Phoenix Suns

Life in the Western Conference of the National Basketball Association is rough. Just ask the Phoenix Suns, who came out of nowhere to win 48 games during the 2013-14 season. Most years, 48 wins will get you into the postseason. Hell, last year in the East, that number would have given the Suns the third-most […]

That was until Friday, the final day of two-a-day workouts at Northern Arizona University. Power forward Anthony Tolliver hurt his right hand. “Just really […]
