The unofficial first half of the 2008-09 NBA season ended ignominiously for the Phoenix Suns in their 41st game of the season on January 23: a 98-76 mauling at the hands of Boris Diaw and the Charlotte Bobcats. Though Suns castoff Diaw and the Bobcats had something to prove, so did the Suns after equally humiliating previous losses to the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks. All the Suns proved, however, is what seems to be the rule in their first season under head coach Terry Porter: They can’t beat the patsies. They get yet another chance when the lousy Golden State Warriors visit U.S. Airways Center. The nationally televised game starts at 8:30 p.m.
Fri., Feb. 6, 8:30 p.m.; Wed., April 15, 7:30 p.m., 2009
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $16,750 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
