Game Recap: Suns take down Nuggets in Mile High City AGAIN, 104-97!

Isaiah J. Downing-USA TODAY Sports The Phoenix Suns got a much-needed victory to make up for the subpar performance in San Antonio. It was a Kevin Durant masterclass on both ends of the floor. The Suns’ superstar had an efficient 30-point game complimented by 13 rebounds and five blocks on the evening. “We had a good practice and film session yesterday and we were ready to play,” said Kevin Durant postgame on ESPN. Thad Young stepped up, providing 18 quality minutes, finishing +15 with 6 points and 9 rebounds. The Suns played a steady 48 minutes of basketball...

Arizona Diamondbacks: April confidence poll

Photo by Steve Boyle/MLB Photos via On the eve of the season, how are we feeling? March results Last time we checked in, spring training was kinda sorta beginning to get under way, with the early stages of the position battles just warming up. But there was still not very much actual data to go on, with barely a week’s worth of games, and as usual, anyone you know was typically gone by the end of the fifth inning. Unsurprisingly therefore, we did not have a great deal of change in the numbers between the beginning of February and the start of March. Here’s what we...

Suns-Nuggets to watch for’s, as their season series is tied 1-1

Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports A few to watch for’s, headed into the rubber match of the season series with Denver. Last time out against the Denver Nuggets, Phoenix put together one of their best post All-Star performances, in Denver. The reigning champions have lost just one game, on the much-spoken on left-handed hook shot game-winner from Kyrie Irving in Dallas, since that matchup with Phoenix on March 5th. They’re 9-1 since their March 5th matchup with Phoenix, ranking 3rd in offensive rating (123.1), 7th in halfcourt offensive rating (106.1), 10th in defensive...

Photo by H. Armstrong Roberts/ClassicStock/ Our annual opportunity for the SnakePit writers to cover themselves in glory. Or not. Disclaimer: everything which follows was written before the sudden appearance of a wild Jordan Montgomery on our roster yesterday. In the light of that, you probably want to bump up everyone’s projections below by 2-3 wins. We polled the writers last year, and both myself and Dano In Tucson nailed the win total for the D-backs at 84. We’re back to defend our co-title this year, and the other 12 members of the SnakePit team have also...

It’s time to accept who the Phoenix Suns are this season

Daniel Dunn-USA TODAY Sports Monday night was just another reminder. I was looking for something to say about the Suns’ most recent loss, a crushing and pathetic loss to the Victor Wembamyama-less San Antonio Spurs, and I realized there is nothing more to say; this is who the 2023-24 Phoenix Suns are. Inconsistent, disengaged, and lethargic are a few words that describe the talented team. The Suns remain a mystery when the stakes are the highest and lowest. You have better luck getting an entire March Madness Bracket perfect than predicting if the Suns will rise to...

Surveying the Diamondbacks landscape after the Jordan Montgomery signing

Photo by Harry How/ That was unexpected. There had been rumblings about the D-backs being among the suitors for the services of Jordan Montgomery. But with the team payroll already at an all-time high, these seemed to be implausible rumors. I mean, MLB Trade Rumors had him the #6 free agent on the market this winter, projecting a six year, $150 million contract for the Scott Boras client. But like other Boras clients, the market was badly misjudged by the agent, and the pitcher remained unemployed. Now, two days before Opening Day, Montgomery has become the last...
