• Girl In A Coma Coming to Mesa

  By Martin Cizmar If you like Joan Jett – and judging by every karaoke night I’ve attended in the last year, you do – you might want to check out Girl in a Coma, coming to Hollywood Alley on December 3. Hailing from San Antonio (I’ll do it for you, Phoenix: booooo Tim Duncan sucks!) the all-girl group is signed to Jett’s Blackheart Records and has that grrrly pop-punk thing down pat. “Clumsy Sky” is catchy little chunk of radio-ready rock ‘n’ roll with vocals that are much m

• Glad 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

• How 'Bout Them Billionaires?: Phoenix Suns at Dallas Mavericks Tonight

  Take it from a Dallas native and lifelong Cowboys nut: Beneath its bluster, Big D is an insecure little kid of a town. It compensates with a need for domination that, in sports terms, produces cartoon megalomaniacs like Jerry Jones and Mark Cuban (pictured). Cowboys owner Jones is the World's Richest Redneck, and he reigns over the Britney Spears of pro sports franchises. Mavericks owner Cuban is 50 going on 12. The multi-billionaire is currently facing a lawsuit on allegations of small-stakes

• Merry Effen Xmas, Phoenix: San Antonio Edges the Suns With a Buzzer-Beater

  This year's Phoenix Suns are playing better than ever. They've looked good in the last six games. Unfortunately, they're 3-3 in those contests against (save for the New York Knicks) good teams. Turnovers have killed the Suns all season, and while they've gotten better at protecting the basketball lately, ham-handed botches are the main thing separating them from the NBA's elite. Their 16 turnovers last Saturday were good enough against the Denver Nuggets, who had 21. B

• Weekend Split Against Two Bad Teams: Suns Lose to Minnesota at Home and Beat Toronto on the Road

  Remember that February 9 beat-down win over the formidable Dallas Mavericks at US Airways Center? It was easy to believe that the Phoenix Suns had turned it all around after they toppled a top Western Conference opponent by 28 points, to hope (Barack Obama's favorite word) that they could contend for a championship this season -- after all. Then, what a mess! They were fortunate to win against the terrible Los Angeles Clippers and the decent Atl

• Tougher San Antonio Spurs Find a Way to Beat the Phoenix Suns -- Again

  This time, it wasn't a heartbreaking three at the buzzer that pushed the San Antonio Spurs past the Phoenix Suns. It wasn't a cheap-shot foul by a Spurs sub against a Suns star. It wasn't Suns turnovers killing any chance Steve Nash & Co. had of winning the game. It wasn't less-than-All-Star play by 2009 All-Star Game starting power forward Amar'e Stoudemire. It was just the Spurs doing what they do so well -- hanging tough when it counts. The final score was 11

• 2009 NBA All-Star Game: Defense (For a Change), Jumpshots, and Forced Drama

  Kobe and Shaq are once again BFF. Awwww. The only thing the sports media love more than a good feud is a half-assed gesture to end it under meaningless circumstances. So it was that Kobe and Shaq were forced to awkwardly hoist a trophy together at the 2009 NBA All-Star game, just as they did back when they were three-time champions together, long before Shaq dissed Kobe in every medium available, including a famous freestyle in which the big man repeatedly rapped, "Kobe, tell me how my as

• Phoenix Suns Go 0-4 on Road Trip, Losing in Final Minutes to Hated Spurs on Sunday

  nba.com Tony Parker owns the Suns this season.There's only bad news about the fading Phoenix Suns, whose chances of making the Western Conference playoffs get slimmer by the game. The sad thing is, the Suns could've won every one of the past four road games in Orlando, Miami, Houston, and San Antonio. They were in each game until the home team overpowered them in the fourth quarter. Which's what good teams do. They find a way to win. The Suns best showing came against the

  ​The Phoenix Suns are in the process of reducing their players to NASCAR drivers with a new deal that allows corporate sponsorship of their practice uniforms and practice court.The team announced today that they have struck an agreement with The Annexus Group, a Phoenix-based annuity design firm, that puts the company's logo on the right shoulder of the team's practice jerseys.Oh, and remember the team's practice court? Well that's now "The Annexus Practice Court."We know the economy sucks, bu
