Phoenix: Rising From The Ashes

Unless you played for the Phoenix Suns, you would most likely be lying to me if you said before the season that the Suns were going to make it to the Western Conference Finals. This has been one pleasant surprise of a season for the Suns. Their top 4 or 5 guys may not be [...]

The No-Look Pass Turns 1!

(REY-REY’S NOTE: I actually put this entry up on Nov. 24 but I just had it scheduled for Dec. 2 in time for TNLP’s first anniversary.) Happy Birthday to the one and only TNLP. It was pretty much over when David Diep told me that I should make an NBA blog. I didn’t think it [...]

The Answer to NY’s Problems?

So Mr. Answer himself, Allen Iverson, has reportedly told associates he will be signing with the New York Knicks. Now, before you scoff at the thought of any team wanting A.I. after his fallout with the Memphis Grizzlies, think about it. The Knicks’ starting PG is Chris Duhon. Yes, that Chris Duhon. Their coach is [...]

2009-10 Golden State Warriors Season Preview

Mike D’Antoni Is CAPTAIN PLAAANEEEET!!!

This is to honor today’s Suns/Knicks match-up. So my friends and I were watching Game 7 of the Lakers/Suns series of the 2006 Playoffs (the one where Kobe Bryant “stuck with the game plan”, which drew Charles Barkley’s ire). Anyway, then-Suns coach Mike D’Antoni was complaining about a call when my friend, Nick, yelled out… [...]

D’Antoni Is The Best Coach Today?

No, that’s not Ted Turner yelling CAPTAIN PLANET (which is what we loved to do whenever we saw Mike D’Antoni on the screen). But, yeah, I just had an NBA discussion with an old friend. He is convinced about one thing. Mike D’Antoni is the best coach in the NBA today. My friend felt he [...]

The Tragedy That Is The Suns

The Phoenix Suns that we know are run-and-gun. Exciting. Scoring machines. And they were one of the elite teams in the league. And Steve Nash was, or still is, one of my favorite players in the league. But now… I wonder what they’re doing with this bunch. They’re still pretty good but are they on [...]
