Answer: Neither live in Arizona (but I am only sad about that regarding one of them)

What song sums up the Suns? According to this Canadian it's "Apologize" by One Republic. I don't know why but I continue to be surprised by the deep seated feelings of loss from NBA fans around the world (Canada being...international) for the Suns. I guess I am too close to it to understand what this team meant to them. The Suns were close to winning but they didn't win. They made some changes to try and get better. Didn't work. Move on. I am just not feeling the need to sum that up w/ a sappy song about loss and love

The Mercury will face the 4th seed in the West which will either be San Antonio or Minnesota. Both teams are tied with a 14-18 record and both have two games left. The ~~Lynx~~ Storm have the slightly easier schedule since they face the Monarchs and the injury depleted Storm while the ~~Silver Stars~~ Lynx also have the Monarchs and the Sparks. In the event there's a tie the Silver Stars have it. Are you hoping for another Phoenix vs San Antonio 1st round match-up or does the thought make you a bit queasy?

Stan, if you couldn’t resist politicizing a post on a basketball website, I think you were stuck for something to write. I see it elsewhere, of course, but not from the moderators.

As for Shawn Marion, if I knew whether he had grown up and would get along with Amare Stoudemire, I’d love for him to come back. If not, why bring back the problem that forced his trade?

As even Shawn can see, he put up his best numbers here in phoenix because of the aid of the system and Steve Nash. I think if he put that in perspective, he could very well return to superstardom in phoenix, but that will most likely never happen again in his career. :(

Your opinion

has been duly noted and filed as appropriate….btw, I am not sure what you mean by “moderator” but that is not at all what this site is about. This isn’t a democracy. I am not a facilitator. I am not here to be “fair and balanced”.

Hey, is this the point where I should type “you do know how the rest of the world views GW Bush, right?”

We specialize in misinformation around here. Facts and stats just get in the way.

"world view"?

It was slightly clever —

either an insult to Bush or a sarcastic comment about Phoenicians. Plus, it shows a lilttle of our “Prodigal Sun” angst. I thought it was a pretty good shotgun blast to catch so many celebrities with one quip.

Somebody is way too wrapped up in the healthcare debate to take that sentence as political commentary.

I’m referring to P-Stan’s comment over at PtR about Bruce Bowen. Not so much clever in it.

ahhh...

clever, based on a joke of which I have no knowledge.

the healthcare remark wasn’t aimed at you, but I didn’t want to do another post because I’m lazy

Point taken. I’d go elsewhere, but unfortunately, I don’t know a Suns forum with more news than this one. I guess all I can do about political abuse of a sports website is to not commit it myself.

So now I’m waiting for the axe to finally drop. Off with his head!

I'd prefer off with his hands

At least then I wouldn’t have to read another one of these whiny, woe is me posts.

at least the companies running the country are operating because the citizens buy their stuff

and, there are several “dictators” through the various intrerest groups. I’m pretty sure you can’t have more than one dictator, by definition.

so, you’ve got a group of organizations (run by various persons, not a despot) that are around because the citizenry patronizes them. there are worse forms of government

true. Kakistocracy is always the worst government. By definition.

This season will be even better as long as I'm drinking while watching!

Lamenting the Suns

I have seen several mentions around the web on ‘neutral" sites mourning the loss of 7SOL—it is kind of weird, but when you’ve been on board the bandwagon for decades it hits you a bit differently. I guess It was pretty sweet for “my team” to be the nation’s darlings for a few years there, but mostly those are years that you hope for as a fan—that your team is a legitimate title contender. Watching them win 75% of their games sure makes for a nice season of viewing, I’ll say that.

I’ll tell you what, too, I’d LOVE for Dubya to live in my neighborhood—watching him walk his dog home while carrying a bag of crap would never get old.

The Lynx have the slightly easier schedule since they face the Monarchs and the injury depleted Storm while the Silver Stars also have the Monarchs and yet another crack at the Sparks.

Hm, no, our last game is against the Storm.
