Steve Nash's appearance in a new episode of the Emmy Award-winning HBO series airs tonight (10:30 p.m. Arizona time). Nash joins athletes such as Michael Phelps and Tom Brady to shoot a cameo on the show. His scene was filmed in mid-May, the perk of a season ending a month prior to that.

Rob Mahoney of Two Man Game: "The Mavs could have allowed the Suns to create a bit too much significance out of the final five games of the season. Hell, they could have at least let Phoenix make a game out this singular contest, dubbed by Grant Hill as the team's 'World Cup.' But for whatever r...

In the clutter of the Suns' new offense, Steve Nash looks like a hummingbird trapped inside a sandwich bag. Last night against the Lakers, there was an eight-minute stretch over the second and third quarters when nobody except Shaquille O'Neal recorded a single point for the Suns. Amazing...

Opinion: Barnes back in gear after trying year

21 Nov 2008 00:00:00 PST

Written by showard-cooper@sacbee.com (Scott Howard-Cooper)
Now, though, Barnes is in a corridor that leads from the Suns' locker room to the US Airways Center parking structure, staring into the distance and contemplating the world that crashed down around him and the recovery that has improbably taken him to the starting lineup.

Shaquille O'Neal knew he wouldn't escape totally unscathed from the Suns' latest review at the NBA offices. He took the $25,000 fine for "verbal abuse of an official and failure to leave the court in a timely manner" in stride. "It's just like a tax. It's not something I worry about," O'Neal sa...

PHOENIX, November 16, 2008(AP) -- Shaquille O'Neal made an early exit from Amare Stoudemire's 26th birthday party. Stoudemire and the rest of the already short-handed Phoenix Suns did just fine without him Sunday night. Stoudemire had 29 points and 11 rebounds and the Suns overcame O'Ne...

Opinion: Shaq's comments ring hollow

15 Oct 2008 21:56:48 PDT

On Tuesday, Shaquille O'Neal called a team's decision to intentionally foul him when it has a 10-point-or-more lead "cowardly." His frustration is understandable. The tactic walks the fine line of sportsmanship and mocks the spirit of the game.

Opinion: The Best Failure Ever?

02 Oct 2008 13:20:38 PDT

Written by dberri
In the end, looking at what these players did last year - and given how Nelson doesn’t like to play young players - it seems likely the Warriors are going to slip in the West. And that means, it seems quite likely Golden State will once again miss the playoffs. So in that sense, it seems likely t...

Step Four, commit to Alando Tucker and DJ Strawberry. With Coach Porter’s stated mission to give playing time to more players, these guys are ticketed for bigger roles. And after watching them in the Summer League, I’m ready to see them take those roles on. Tucker can flat fill it up, remindin...

Suns draft review

Written by (author unknown)
Most did not realize the Suns had traded for Slovenian point guard Goran Dragic in the second round. The trade was made just a couple picks before San Antonio's 45th pick, which the Spurs used to take Dragic on Phoenix's behalf in exchange for the No. 48 pick (the Suns took Malik Hairston on San...

Opinion: The 2008 Playoffs: Where the Revival of the NBA's Two Flagship Franchises Happened

19 Jun 2008 23:24:00 PDT

Written by noreply@blogger.com (David Friedman)
The Celtics finished with the best record in the NBA (66-16), while the Lakers had the best record in perhaps the most competitive Western Conference race ever (57-25). The top two seeds have generally not both made it to the Finals in recent seasons but the Celtics and Lakers each vanquished tough foes to advance to the championship round, where Boston earned the right to hoist a 17th championship banner, denying Phil Jackson his 10th coaching title and Bryant his fourth ring as a player and in the process completing the one blank space on the Hall of Fame resumes of Garnett, Allen and 2008 Finals MVP Paul Pierce.

Opinion: Celtics Dominate Suns, 117-97

27 Mar 2008 03:51:00 PDT

Written by David Friedman
It is hard to quibble with anything that Stoudemire is doing offensively. He has added a reliable jumper to his repertoire and he has turned into an outstanding free throw shooter. Deft Nash passes certainly help him to pad his scoring totals but he'd be a great scorer with or without Nash. O'Neal is actually helping Stoudemire now at least as much as Nash is, because when O'Neal is in the game he is attracting a lot of defensive attention, leaving Stoudemire free to slash and cut. As Brown explained, "If you leave him (Shaq) you are giving up a potential dunk. It is hard to double-team big to big." That means that when Stoudemire gets loose, O'Neal's man cannot help because then Stoudemire could easily slip the ball to O'Neal for a dunk. Sometimes tha...

My dad likes the NBA, but he doesn’t follow it like he used to. When I was growing up in SoCal, we both followed the Showtime Lakers pretty religiously. Then, in 1988, we moved to Phoenix, and while I stayed fiercely loyal (ironic in hindsight, huh?) in the face of all the Laker-hating Suns fans...

Opinion: Jim Reeves: With one eye on ultimate goal, Mavs' vision can get blurred

20 Dec 2007 03:41:00 PST

Whether barely surviving yet another hairy night against the Suns -- Steve Nash airballed a 3 that could have tied it at the buzzer -- constitutes fun is debatable, but there's no question that the Mavs at least enjoyed renewing acquaintances with their old Western Conference rivals.
