Steve Nash, Immortalized
Our obsession with corn is well documented, which is why this cornfield image of Steve Nash made us so happy....
Miss Teen South Carolina Has Discovered The Map To Our Hearts
She captivated the nation with her controversial stances on maps, and "the Iraq, everywhere such as." Yesterday we showed you the video of her performance at the Miss Teen USA Pageant, and like the rest of "U.S. Americans," you instantly fell in love. Now, here's more of Miss Teen South Carolina Lau...

That'll Be All, Suns
If you love fast-paced, up-and-down, uptempo basketball, I hope you have a DVR ... because if you're craving anything of that ilk, you might have to watch the conference finals at about 4 times the normal speed....
Once More, With Feeling (And Amare)
We've been accused of overstating the backlash David Stern will face if the Suns lose tonight — if there's a Game 7, you can make an argument that it all evened out, though we're not sure we necessarily agree with that either — but it's clear that everyone (save for, of course, Spurs fans) will be h...
Playoff Blogdome: Spurs-Suns, Game 5
Views from around the Web after last night's pivotal Game 5 between the Spurs and Suns ......
Suns Lose In Worst Way Possible, For Everybody
As many have already pointed out, last night could not have gone any worse for ... well, for just about everybody involved in the Suns-Spurs series. A blowout victory for the Spurs would have been painful, but at least it would have been quick, and we all could have convinced ourselves that the Suns...
The Spurs Fan Solution: Sit Duncan!
The guy from Spurs blog Pounding The Rock had it exactly right this morning: The worst part about Amare Stoudemire's (and Boris Diaw's) suspension tonight is that it immediately makes the whole game illegitimate. If the Spurs win, it won't feel like they earned it, and they've instantly become the b...
A Game 5 Without Amare. Tragic.
Well, the suspensions from the Suns-Spurs Game 4 finally came down last night, and one thing was assured: Nobody, probably not even the Spurs, is happy about it. Robert Horry, Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw will all miss tonight's Game 5, which means that the Suns will be at a clear disadvantage be...
The Suns And Spurs Won't Stop Punching Each Other, And It's Awesome
Did you ever wonder just how entertaining those old Knicks-Heat slugfest series could have been had, you know, the actual basketball being played was even slightly tolerable to the eyes? That what this Spurs-Suns series has become: Two amazing teams who play entirely different games trying to force ...
Last Call To Keep Any Of These Close
The general consensus, to this point, is that the Jazz-Warriors and Pistons-Bulls series are pretty much over: The favorites up 3-1 with two home games to close it out. Well, if the Nets and Suns can't hold serve tonight, they might be well be in the same position....
The Suns Have Made Tim Duncan Into A Bully
In the press conferences following the Spurs/Suns game yesterday, the same reporter asked both Tim Duncan and Mike D'Antoni if they thought the series was physical....
Easy Pickings In The Eastern Conference
We mean no offense to a fan base that has to be ecstatic, but has an NBA team ever won its first six playoff games in less impressive fashion than the Cleveland Cavaliers? The Arenas-less Wizards folded fast, and, last night, the Nets looked like they really weren't up for much more basketball, than...
Steve Nash, Definitely A Bleeder
There are all kinds of disappointing ways for a tight, close NBA playoff game to end. A key player can be thrown out, a team can self-destruct, a naked man can run on the court ... there are all kinds of ways to transform a potential classic into a missed opportunity. But one of the worst has to be ...
Free Darko Playoff Pants Party: Suns Vs. Spurs
Even though there are still two first-round series still going on, the second round starts tomorrow. Two matchups are set already....
Kobe, Carmelo, Iverson ... Exit Stage Left, Please
Before last night's Suns-Lakers Game 5, Henry at True Hoop looked at just how much the Lakers would change in the offseason if they lost, which, of course, they did. So now it can start. Trade Kobe! For Shaq! Or whatever: We can't imagine Phil Jackson will enjoy being a part of this for too much lon...
Lakers Make It Just Interesting Enough To Ultimately Disappoint
In a way, we kind of agree with what Free Darko wrote in their playoff preview for us: This could end up being the one playoff series in which, if the Lakers lose, Kobe Bryant might get a pass. But he's not gonna be able to pull it off if the Lakers, you know, actually make it close. A four-game swe...
Open Thread: Suns Vs. Lakers
Somehow, this manages to be an intriguing series, despite there being really only one possible outcome. It's overwhelmingly likely that the Suns will beat the Lakers, since all those animosity and bad feelings are probably going to go to waste....
