On Saturday night, the Phoenix Suns will face the Denver Nuggets outside at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden (home to Pacific Life Open--one of the major events on the men's and women's pro tours) in a pre-season match-up. This is only the second time in NBA's history that a game will be played outdoors. The first being a 1972 preseason game where the Suns defeated the Bucks in San Juan, Puerto Rico at a baseball stadium.

He wants to be the champion. That falls into the category of the Stoudemire brand and also the Phoenix Suns brand. We want to be champions, whatever it takes to do it."

Now that the NBA offseason is nearing a close, and, thankfully, training camp will begin in a matter of weeks, I’m going to take the next few posts to begin to delve into the Pacific Division, the moves that each team made, how I think they’ll fair, etc.

Well, until last night’s beat down of the Spurs, in which Boris Diaw nearly dropped a triple double and Amare Stoudemire was held to single digit points, Phoenix championship hopes looked about as bright as Flava Flav.

Tom O'Hara of Illinois finished the indoor mile in under four minutes 44 years ago today.
Yikes!
Myself, I keep an eight-minute pace and I've never just tried to race a mile. It might be an interesting undertaking, if you're into punishment from the pavement like myself anyhow.

s did when they traded for Pau Gasol and felt that they had to try and one up the Lakers. The Phoenix Suns went out and took a huge chance by trading for Shaquille O’Neal and the Mavericks traded away half their team to acquire Jason Kidd. With the trading deadline this week I would not be surprised if western conference teams are not done playing deal or no deal. With the number one seed and the number nine seed being separated by a mere four and a half games, every thing is going to be magnified for the next two months. Every single game is going to matter and a three game losing streak, for anyone, could have that team on the verge of missing the playoffs. After months of boring basketball the west is here to save us.

Am I the only soul on this planet (besides Steve Kerr) who thinks the Shaq deal is good for the Suns and bad news for the Lakers? My feelings went from "euphoria" when the Lakers got Pau Gasol to "grave concern" upon hearing the news that Shaq was back in the West.

Apparently the Miami Heat and the Phoenix Suns have agreed on a trade that would send Shaquille O'Neal to Phoenix in exchange for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks. I believe this is simply a knee-jerk reaction to the Los Angeles Lakers' acquisition of Pau Gasol (a brilliant move by L.A., by the way) and do not see how this trade can make sense from the Suns' vantage point.

Hey Lakers fans!
Don't stop believing. It's a Journey!
Yeah. Ouch.
Brown had more turnovers than boards last night, but you know what? Booing the kid is not going to do a damn thing but make matters worse.

Sam Cassell of the Los Angeles Clippers who dropped a cool 32 points, 6 boards and 7 assists on the Phoenix Suns last night. And thanks to my Aunt and Uncle, I was able to have excellent seats at the game.

Over the holiday week, the Lakers made some serious statements. They told the Phoenix Suns that they are for real this year, that their beginning of the season win wasn't a fluke. They also upended a Utah Jazz team finally getting it together, finally looking like the squad that made it to the Western semis last year. Those were beautiful statements. Of course, there was Phil's tie (which I personally liked). And then, curiously, there were the short shorts.

The Lakers were facing elimination by the Phoenix Suns and Lamar’s future with the Lakers looked like a foregone conclusion that he wouldn’t be with them by the start of the 07-08 training camp.
