Phoenix Suns 135, Minnesota Timberwolves 127 — Frye’s career night

April 12th, 2011 · 18 Comments

PHOENIX — Channing Frye had been suffering through an April to forget heading into Monday’s matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Frye averaged 8.5 points on 35.8 percent shooting from the field and 28 percent three-point shooting during the first six games this month, so of course it makes perfect sense that Frye would go berserk with [...]

Phoenix Suns 102, Utah Jazz 101 — Frye en fuego

February 16th, 2011 · 17 Comments

PHOENIX — You might not know it by his results, but Channing Frye does not believe in the hot hand theory.
Whether he’s shooting 1-for-7 and 2-for-11 as he has in the past few weeks or 12-for-16 as he did in Tuesday’s 102-101 win over the Utah Jazz, Frye always tries to shoot the same shots [...]

Dallas Mavericks 106, Phoenix Suns 91 — No Nash, no chance

There aren’t many NBA teams that can get outrebounded 49-32, allow 68 points in the paint, surrender 20 offensive rebounds and come away victorious. But then again, there also aren’t many teams that can shoot the three ball like the Phoenix Suns.
The Suns overcame their defensive and rebounding ineptitude by drilling the two-time defending champion Los [...]

Phoenix Suns drop first preseason game in Sacramento

October 5th, 2010 · 7 Comments

The worst thing one can do when evaluating a preseason game is to just glance at the final score.
So “Kings 109, Suns 95” doesn’t do this one justice.
The Kings played this one with largely regular season rotations, whereas the Suns played it like it was, well, the first game of the preseason.
Playing many of their [...]

Five keys to the rest of the West Finals

May 27th, 2010 · 10 Comments

So we have a series. Contrary to popular thought entering last weekend, discussing a potential Suns-Magic Finals could end up being more than an avenue to taunt the way the rest of the nation seemingly was already gearing up for Lakers-Celtics.
But reading through some local LA articles makes me think this series is something other [...]
