It's also cool, because my Earl Clark-fan friend can see him play online, if she wants to.New JMZ video! I'd like to find video of his dunk.

In the aftermath of the second and third dunks in a WNBA regular season game, I've been thinking about the reaction of (most of) the (male dominated) media a bunch. So I wrote up (what turned out to be) an angry rant, and thought I'd post it.First of all, if you watch a basketball game without any dunks and don't enjoy it *because* of the lack of dunking, you don't actually like basketball at all

The SunsThursday's game was a big win. I didn't get to see a lot of it, but I appreciate that even after (or while) adjusting to Shaq, they can still get out there and play small ball with the Warriors.All that, and 4 technicals. I kind of love that (as an isolated incident), because it shows an injection of spirit into the team that's been lacking this year. I hope it continues, although

Now they need to keep it going.Recaps: Associated Press, East Valley Tribune, Arizona Republic.According to the Republic, the Suns have been improving on both ends of the floor.Grant Hill is doing better on defense. I guess he feels like he has something to prove. (Also in that

The weird thing about the Suns' shortcomings after the trade (to me) is that Shaq seems to be a pretty terrible defender. I knew he was a good inside offensive presence, and I knew that he wasn't about to shoot the three--but I figured that he would be able to stop the opposition down low. So far I'm not seeing it.Paola Boivin has an excellent list of things that need improvement for the team

Another disappointing game on Saturday night. They need to pick it up. If they're only 2.5 games in front of the 8th ranked Warriors, it's entirely conceivable that they might not even make the playoffs. Sad, but true. Really sad.The Suns aren't just interested in adding Gordan Giricek, they're are also interested in Tyronn Lue. Also, apparently Shaq's been practicing a lot lately and D'Antoni

Brent Barry went back to the dark side. It looks like Gordan Giricek will be the newest member of the team, but that's not 100% yet. According to the first two articles, even though Sam Cassell got waived by the Clippers, he's almost definitely not going to Phoenix, but instead will most likely become a Celtic.I was linked to this by a friend, and it is kinda amusing even if I don't know

Last night's game sucked. I didn't read any recaps, and I probably won't.I'm starting to slip from my position of acceptance that the Shaq trade was a good idea. It looks like Scott Bordow of the East Valley Tribune agrees with me.The most interesting part of that article for me was the statement that Memphis’ Rudy Gay went off for 36 points Tuesday; that doesn’t happen if Marion has a crack at

It's not a huge win, but the Suns beat the Memphis Grizzlies last night 127-113. It's nice to see a W after Sunday's game of doom. Interestingly, the Arizona Republic's recap almost seemed as though it were about a completely different game. A game in which the Suns played really poorly. Whatever. In a world in which the Suns can lose to Minnesota twice and Miami once, I'm glad for any win

Sometime this morning we should know if Brent Barry will be wearing purple and orange.The after-shocks of Sunday's mind-numbingly embarrassing 116-86 loss to the Pistons. I'm divided on this. Yeah, they need to have some time to build a cohesive team, but at the same time Shaq's mouth appears to be writing checks that his body (and the team as a whole, it seems) can't cash. I guess we have little

(This is taken directly from an email that I just sent to someone. It was written before I read any game recaps. I still haven't. In case that's pertinent somehow.)The easy thing to say is "The Timberwolves wanted this game more than the Suns," but like I said: that's the easy way out.Here are the reasons that I think the Suns lost tonight (in no particular order):* Corey Brewer coming off the

Finally the Varejao situation is taken care of! I was pulling for him to play for the Bobcats for a couple reasons. First, because I could go see him play the Suns next year. (I can't go see them in Cleveland, because my Cavs loving cousin probably wouldn't like it if I rooted against his team.) Also, the Bobcats organization is in favor of players playing for their national teams. The Cavs are

Seattle officials filed a lawsuit Monday to keep the SuperSonics from leaving town, saying the team's profitability in much-maligned KeyArena "has less to do with KeyArena than perhaps the Sonics' ability to defend the high pick-and-roll."As an aside, I love love love funny lawyers.

This Finals have been talked about a lot in terms of contrasting styles. It's the Bad Girls of Detroit vs. the Running-and-Gunning Mercury. During the Eastern Conference Finals, some of the announcers were saying things about how the style of play wasn't very pretty or entertaining. The Phoenix team was obviously set up as the contrasting style.In this season (34 games) and the first two rounds

Well, I missed my last Mystics game of the year. That's the only bad news of this part of the season right now.

Well that's that.I'm probably not going to pay too much attention to the rest of the playoffs.That being said, the WNBA season started last night. So there's still more basketball that I care about! Yay! I got to go to the Mystics opening game and was pleasantly amazed by it.Alana Beard is currently out for a sore shoulder that she suffered while playing for Team USA this spring. Without her,

I just woke up early from a dream that had me posting reasons that I'm angry at Barbosa. About how he's been lost and unable to connect on anything. Which is all true. And I am angry, but I think I'd rather not post about that.I want to post asking why in a game like last night's, we played without Jalen Rose or Marcus Banks. A shooter like Rose with fresh legs? A player who has purportedly

Congrats to the Bells! They just welcomed their first child (a boy) into their family.Everyone seems to be ok, because Raja is playing tonight in game 5.Yay Raja and Cindy (and the little Bell)!

Dear LeBron,Your team just swept the first round of the playoffs against a very depleted team. The God pose might be a bit much. Just maybe.Trying to be helpful,JeanI have been having a bit of trouble thinking of things to say about the playoffs lately. Mostly I just want to say that I so totally called the Warriors playing the Mavs hard and maybe even winning the best of seven. Everyone's

The Suns play game two with the Lakers tonight. I'm very excited, although apparently we haven't won a game two in the last five series that we've played. That's ok, I have faith that today they'll pull through with relatively few headaches.And then tomorrow it's a double header of games that I care about (even if mostly marginally). First up Denver will hopefully beat San Antonio's ass again.

Last night's games could not have gone any better for me.Golden State buried Portland guaranteeing that they make the playoffs. The Lakers beat Sacramento, meaning that Golden State gets to face off with Dallas in the first round. (Note this date, I was rooting for the Lakers.) And then the Clippers lost to the Hornets, which just reinforces the other two outcomes and gives the Hornets a nice

So now the magic number is one. Well unless the Spurs lose to the Mavs today. In which case the magic number is two. As in the number two seed clinched.The game last night against Utah was so much fun. I love seeing them just take over a game. I also love when Barbosa is the top scorer off the bench.I'm also amazed with Nash's 18:0 assist to turnover ratio. There's a math geek imaginary

First of all, I'm linking to a few Barbosa articles that made my day yesterday (regardless of the outcome of the Spurs game).This article is about the "race" for 6th Man of the Year. Mostly it's a nothing article, but the head to head stats at the end are kinda interesting. I didn't see anything too surprising or notable in them though. Just kinda interesting.This one is also about the 6th Man of

Contrary to a post that I wrote last month, until this morning I hadn't yet tried my hand at shooting my basketball (or anyone else's basketball for that matter).So yeah. I'm not very good, which was my prediction. I'm gonna keep going out there and trying, but I don't know what my chance of improvement is without help. I got 5 baskets in a half hour. I had a lot of fun though. And really in

Here I am watching Flip Wilson and eating a bowl of Steve Nash Wheaties before bed.I thought I'd pop in and post something before this afternoon's game of stress.On my way home from work this morning I stopped at CVS for something that I needed and (as I always do) checked out Slam Magazine. It's far too busy and overwhelming in terms of layout, but it's the only magazine that they have there

I don't have a lot to say about this one. The Kings really wanted it, and we seemed to want it a little less. The two shoulda-been-threes (one from Bell and one from Barbosa) didn't help, but they didn't lose the game.Barbosa was just amazing. 17 straight points! A franchise record. They seem to be coming in 17s this year, what with that and the 17 game win streak.I know I'm way late in

Well, even if the rest of the day sucked, we got another satisfying win tonight against the Kings to help wash the taste of last week out of our collective mouths.Again D'Antoni went 10 deep on the bench again, albeit barely. Stat had an amazing game. 33 points and 21 rebounds? When the man puts his mind to it, he's unstoppable. Yeah, the Kings were missing Ron Artest, but I have little sympathy

I just bought a basketball. It's a WNBA regulation sized outdoor ball. Let's hear it for the Oatmeal and Orange! I'm about to go to bed, and when I wake up, I'll be calling the curling club and finding out about when I can try it, and then heading off to try my hand at free-throw shooting.Or at getting frustrated and gaining more respect for Steve Nash and his 89.5% free-throws. Whatever.As for

Man, starting a blog is intensely intimidating. Especially a sports blog for someone like me (I'm very new to sports). So I'm going to start with something simple.This picture is a good illustration of what drew me to care about this team. Yeah, their ball handling, speed, and talent are amazing (the end of this past week notwithstanding)--but what I love about them is how well they get along.
