Steph Curry Running Away Before His Threes Go In Is Rude, Wonderful, And Demoralizing
Last night’s Warriors-Suns game was silly with highlights, even by Golden State’s inflated standards; Brandon Knight hit five audacious three pointers in the third quarter to give the Suns a double digit lead; Mo Speights went all Dirk and kept his squad in the game during that run; Leandro Barbosa ...
Markieff Morris Doesn't Look Back, Even After He Slips Off His Hoverboard
The Suns traded Markieff Morris to the Wizards today, in what was the most significant trade during a dull NBA trade deadline. The forward, who openly said in August that he wanted to be traded, went through the parking lot on a hoverboard....
Markieff Morris And Archie Goodwin Fight On The Suns Bench
Phoenix Suns teammates Markieff Morris and Archie Goodwin got into a screaming and shoving match on the bench during the first quarter of tonight’s game against the Golden State Warriors. The fight, which happened during a timeout, didn’t seem to be captured by either the Suns’ or the Warriors’ broa...
Report: Suns Fire Jeff Hornacek
Is it still a Woj Bomb if no one’s awake to hear it, and it’s not particularly surprising news anyway? Late last night, Yahoo Sports reported that the Phoenix Suns have fired head coach Jeff Hornacek, and it feels like a mercy killing at this point....
Suns, Hawks Combine For Some "Interesting" "Basketball"
The Suns beat the Hawks yesterday, but only after the two teams decided to take a break from basketball to just kind of run around like a bunch of puppies in the snow....
Roy Hibbert, Who Is Still Around, Dunks And Dabs
Roy Hibbert’s transformation from dominant NBA center to dilapidated coat rack was completed a long time ago, but the big guy is still taking the floor for the Lakers every night, racking up seven points and six rebounds per 26 minutes of stilted run. Every now and then, he even does something notew...
The Suns Are A Wreck, And The Owner Is Blaming "Millennial Culture"
It wasn’t so long ago that the Phoenix Suns were one of the NBA’s feel-good stories. Jeff Hornacek took a weirdly constructed lineup, featuring a two- and then three-headed point guard monster, and turned the Suns into one of the more exciting young teams in the league. But the roster’s been rejigge...
Mirza Teletovic Hits Absurd Game-Winner While Falling Away From The Basket
Mirza Teletovic helped the Suns top the Bulls 103-101 with this quite unlikely game-winner with just 0.3 seconds left. Check out the angle of Teletovic’s body right before he takes the shot: it’s not ideal form but it worked....
Grizzlies Beat Suns On Buzzer-Beating Reverse Alley-Oop
As game-winners go, a 180 reverse alley-oop over and around a pair of defenders at home on a Sunday where your local NFL team scored 42 points and won is about as good as it gets. That’s what happened for the Grizzlies today....
Brandon Knight Spins His Defender Like A Top
Brandon Knight is a solid player who has had the misfortune of being on the wrong end of a few memorable plays. With that in mind, it’s nice to see him clowning on someone else for once:...
Markieff Morris Says He Won't Be A Sun Next Season, Demands Team Trade Him
In an interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer Tuesday, Phoenix Suns power forward Markieff Morris got straight to the point: he has no intention of playing in Phoenix next season, and the Suns should trade him sooner rather than later....
Warriors Top Suns In A Bonkers Final 30 Seconds
The first 47:30 of the Warriors-Suns game was mostly forgettable, but the final half minute had as much drama as you could ever hope for. Down two, the Warriors got four cracks at the basket—good defensive rebounding, Suns—with Stephen Curry finally nailing a three with eight seconds remaining: ...
Steve Nash Announces His Retirement
Steve Nash is retiring from basketball, he announced in a story on The Players' Tribune titled "Life After Basketball." After thanking a couple dozen people, from coach Don Nelson who told him "'If you're a dominant fucking player — dominate!'" to his family, Nash wrote that he is excited to try som...
Knicks Player Accidentally Does Something Good
The Knicks experienced a rare moment of good fortune in Sunday's game against the Suns, when Alexey Shved threw up a no-look shot in an attempt to draw a foul from Archie Goodwin. Somehow, the ball went in, giving Shved the chance at a three-point play....
Hassan Whiteside: Alex Len Mad "Because I Just Kept Dunking On Him"
Who knew the Heat and Suns loathed each other so much? Monday night's game was chippy—Markieff Morris flagrantly fouled former teammate Goran Dragic, and a few minutes later, Hassan Whiteside and Alex Len wrestled on the court. (Officials ejected Morris, Len, and Whiteside for their roles.) After th...
Isaiah Thomas Stares Down Suns Bench, Says It Was All In Good Fun
The Celtics played in Phoenix tonight, giving Isaiah Thomas an opportunity to go at the team that traded him less than a week ago. He dropped 21 points and seven assists (albeit on 6-16 shooting with five turnovers) on his old teammates, but really took over the game in the final two minutes. He sco...
Goran Dragic Is Not Hiding His Disdain For The Phoenix Suns
Suns point guard Goran Dragic isn't the first player to ever forcefully request a trade, but most guys in that particular situation tend to keep their public comments as vanilla as possible—"I just want to play basketball, that's all I care about"—while maneuvering behind the scenes. Not Goran Dragi...
Goran Dragic Just Hosed The Suns
The NBA trade deadline is coming up fast—tomorrow, at 3 p.m. EST—and we've now got one very big name to watch: Goran Dragic, who reportedly told the Suns he won't be re-signing with Phoenix this summer. That means if suddenly screwed GM Ryan McDonough wants to get anything for the star point guard, ...
The Phoenix Suns Have Lost An Awful Lot Of Games On Buzzer Beaters
The Phoenix Suns are humming along okay, barely ahead of New Orleans and Oklahoma City for the final playoff spot in the West. But they would be in a much better position if they hadn't gotten punched in the gut at the buzzer approximately a million times this season. A Blake Griffin three? An o...
