September 19, 2008Dust Bowl Blues: Phoenix Suns at Oklahoma City Thunder
Recent headline: "Clippers Crush Thunder." Let's hope it's "Suns Burn Thunder" (don't think about that too literally) after tonight's game. But we digress: In what mad otherworld does the NBA's perennial doormat, the L.A. Clippers, crush anybody? Well, on November 19, the mantle of NBA's worst was seemingly passed from the hapless Clips to the laughable Oklahoma City Thunder when the Clippers thrashed OKC at home, 108-88. That term "at home" is a sticking point for non-Okie NBA fans, 'cause i
November 25, 2008Glad Tidings, Our Ass: San Antonio Spurs at Phoenix Suns on Christmas
Anyone else miss the good ol' days, when the Phoenix Suns and San Antonio Spurs were locked in a bitter struggle for ideological supremacy (and home-court advantage in the playoffs)? When the Lakers and Hornets were laughable, and the thought of a return to form for the Boston Celtics was like something out of science fiction? Now potential bugbears lurk around every corner for the NBA Finals hopeful, and there's a fresh threat every night of the week (like Portland's Brandon Roy, who single-ha
December 24, 2008Return of the Joker: Shaq-Less Suns at L.A. Lakers Tonight
98-119. 115-122. 106-98. 124-130. 92-105. Alas, these are not Steve Kerr's winning lottery numbers. They're actually grim statistics reflecting an alarming trend: the full-on revival of the Los Angeles Lakers as a major pain in the Phoenix Suns' butt. And they may be an even bigger pain in the posterior tonight with Shaquille O'Neal out of the lineup to attend his grandmother's funeral -- unless Coach Terry Porter returns the team to the days of old under Mike D'Antoni. That is, runs up e
December 10, 2008Rocky Mountain High: Denver Nuggets at Phoenix Suns Saturday Night
Ah, chemistry. In the NBA, acquiring talent and getting your talent to properly combust are the real tricks of the trade. But what looks good on the drawing board -- like, say, the Denver Nuggets' pairing of body-modified human pinball machines Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson (see image below) -- more often makes you wanna rip your hair out by the roots. That's what happened in the Mile High City after the high-scoring Tattoo Twinkies stopped scoring so high and got smoked in the first
December 19, 2008Grim Forecast: Arizona Cardinals at New England Patriots Sunday
The Arizona Cardinals got hammered by the Giants, dismembered by the Eagles, and just plain embarrassed by the Vikings. In between, they clinched the NFC West, guaranteeing themselves a home playoff game on the first weekend in January. It would be nice to go into the playoffs with momentum, and a win over New England would certainly give the Cardinals cred. But if they can just pull themselves together and grab that playoff win, wouldn't you trade it in a heartbeat for a 5-0 record agai
December 19, 2008Luck of the Draw: Arizona Cardinals vs. Atlanta Falcons in NFC First-Round Playoff on Saturday
"Charmed" seems an odd descriptor for the 2008-09 Arizona Cardinals, who lost -- no, were crushed in -- four of their last six regular-season games. Yet here they sit, all warm and snuggly at 9-7, hosting a first-round playoff game at home in the Red Zone. Meanwhile, a couple of teams they lost to by a combined score of 61 points -- the New York Jets and New England Patriots -- sit idly at home. The Patriots finished 11-5, and are only the second team in NFL history to finish with that record
January 2, 2009All the Young Dudes: Phoenix Suns vs. Indiana Pacers Tonight
Though they've been hauling the boat anchor in the Eastern Conference's Central Division all year, the Indiana Pacers -- including third-year superstar-in-the-making Danny Granger (pictured above) -- aren't your prototypical NBA doormat. Another year (two, max) and Indiana Coach Jim O'Brien should have these young guns challenging the Cleveland Cavaliers and Detroit Pistons for Central Division supremacy (especially if the Cavs' LeBron James jumps ship to the Knicks in 2010, as he's u

September 11, 200910 Things Under $10 This Weekend: Pirates, Psychobillies, and Creepy Bunnies
The Bay Area's Nobunny will terrorize the Trunk Space on Saturday night. There are gonna be two kinds of people in the Valley this weekend: Those who can afford to go to Fall Frenzy, and those who can't. Given the $50-$60 price tag for tickets, its to be expected that a few thrifty types might consider looking elsewhere for entertainment over the next 72 hours.

A writer at a Web site called Examiner.com has a beef with New Times and has called for our (gasp!) expulsion from the state of Arizona. Get in line: Many have demanded this over the years.In an article written yesterday, the Examiner's "libertarian examiner," Daniel Heller, got pissy over an event notice for a book-signing written by Night & Day Editor Clay McNear.In the opening of McNear's piece, he says, "For a place with an overall IQ of about 32 -
