Parker, Duncan turn lights out on Suns; Spurs get Hornets next
Tony Parker scored 31 points, Tim Duncan added 29 points and 17 rebounds, and the San Antonio Spurs advanced to the second round with a 92-87 Game 5 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night.

Suns report: Getting inside
Despite averaging 58 wins over the last two seasons and reaching the Western Conference finals in 2005 and 2006, the Suns of "Seven Seconds or Less" fame have run out of time.

Suns report: Notes, quotes
--Despite Phoenix's earliest postseason elimination since missing the playoffs in 2004, general manager Steve Kerr felt his acquisition of Shaquille O'Neal leaned much more toward the "genius" side of his self-fashioned rating system than "moron

Rumor Mill
After the Suns were eliminated in five games by the Spurs, numerous sources indicate that Mike D'Antoni will not be back for another season as head coach. The Arizona Republic reports that D'Antoni has grown tired of the grind and the expectations of being Suns head coach, and may feel as though he's not getting enough support from the team. The story said D'Antoni may leave the Suns by choice, but with $8.5 million left on his contract, it is not likely that he'll be fired. It is expected that the Knicks, Bulls, or even the Raptors may be interested in D'Antoni should he leave Phoenix. (updated: 04/30/2008)

Seriously, that's going to be the only player that has any value when it's time for the Suns to pick. Suns have made some of the sorriest picks in the Draft. Example Zarko Caberckapa, Siergo Rodriguez, and Nate Robinson. We need a draft pick that will be the next great P ...(more)

Should the Suns start the rebuilding process now? As great as Nash is, the team appears to be headed in a different philosophical direction which stresses defense, and he has never been a great or even average defender. If the Suns could pick up Rose or Bayless, both of whom bring better defensive potential along with good offense, through ...(more)

This is just outstanding! First you blow 2 14 point leads on the road and fail to put away either one of them. Then you come home and right out the gate you find yourself down by 14. This is why the Suns will probably never win an NBA title. Now everyone knows why D'Antoni had no business being the head coach of this team. He can't even pr ...(more)

I feel f'n disgusted right now. We need to get Steve Kerr out of town. He got rid of Shawn Marion for Shaq to stop Tim Duncan. Well, look @ the stats. Tim Duncan wasn't even slowed down a bit. And the slow bricklayer was well slow and bricked a ton of ...(more)
