To steal a quote from some friends I know: ... When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before. -- Jacob August Riis ... The triumph on this scale, the second round sweep of a 4-time NBA Champion by a team that did not even make the playoffs last year is a thing

True story: Back at the end of the 2003-2004 NBA season, Erick Dampier and Steve Nash became free agents.  Erick Dampier was coming off a never-to-be-matched-again career year in Golden State averaging 12.3 ppg and 12.0 rpg.  He looked like a beast of a big man who had finally broken through.  Steve Nash was a good-but-not-great point guard coming off a fairly average year with the Mavs averaging 14.5 ppg and 8.8 apg ...

Practice today for the Suns ran longer than planned. The general mood of the team seems pretty serious. There's no high-fiving jocularity going into the season ... We got our first look at Jarron Collins. He seems to be about the same size as Channing Frye. Not a particularly wide body maybe a bit longer. He was a nice interview and talked about doing what he's asked to do. You can see why he lasted so long in Utah. He's a pro ... Collins also is a long time family friend of the Lopez family. He

With The Big Trade a done deal the Suns are now the proud owner of Ben Wallace's expiring $14m contract. Few people think that Ben can contribute on the floor and many more are listening to Wallace's own words about potentially retiring. That doesn't mean that Big Ben is without value to the Suns in the form of trade bait ... The word from a few places that haven't yet risen to more prominent sources is that the Suns want to now trade Wallace's contract to the New Orleans Hornets for Tyson

Nothing against the current Suns, but when we think of basketball in Phoenix, our thoughts still turn to the halcyon days of Kevin “KJ” Johnson, “Thunder” Dan Majerle, “Sir” Charles Barkley, and Danny “Giant Asshole” Ainge. Still, sometimes we want to watch ...
