Blake Griffin Is Ready To Soar To New Heights
It was Thursday, May 19th, 2012. The large digital clock hanging on the locker room wall ticked down until tipoff. I had driven up to San Antonio earlier that week to begin covering the Western Conference Semi-Finals between the Spurs and the young, exciting and banged up Los Angeles Clippers. I was standing in front of Eric Bledsoe's locker, waiting to talk to the second year guard about his recent stretch of brilliant play. The room was rather quiet for a team with such large personalities. After getting blown out in the first game of the series, the team knew that they were...

Does Eric Bledsoe want to be a Phoenix Sun?
Eric Bledsoe's exit interview followed a pattern that has made me feel uneasy since his arrival in the desert and makes me question his desire to be a Phoenix Sun long term. Let's play word association. Try to answer this before reading on to see how your answer compares to mine. What's the first word that comes to mind when I say Eric Bledsoe? What was your answer (feel free to share in the comments)? Was it something relative to his electric, exciting style of play? Perhaps his ridiculous athleticism? My word is aloof. Just to clarify what I mean by that let me offer the definition of...

Phoenix Suns combo of Goran Dragic and Eric Bledsoe are slashing toward the playoffs
Opposing coaches game plan to stop Dragic and Bledsoe from controlling the game, but very few have succeeded at that task. The combo of Bledsoe and Dragic have won 19 of their past 25 starts, including 9 of 12 in the most important stretch of the season. Many national media, and even local fans, assumed the Phoenix Suns' rhetoric around intentionally pairing Eric Bledsoe and Goran Dragic in a small back court was lip service. For sure, the rebuilding Suns would trade one of the two talented point guards to remake the team in order to get back to the playoffs some day. I mean, who starts two...

The Evolution Of Phoenix Suns Guard Eric Bledsoe
A deep dive into how Eric Bledsoe's style of play switched up going from a role player off the bench to one of the faces of a franchise. One of the toughest aspects of being an NBA player is the adjustment from being a role player off the bench to taking a leading role in a starting lineup. This is a process Phoenix Suns guard Eric Bledsoe has gone through and as expected his game has undergone some changes. It's isn't possible for a player to perform the same way in 20 minutes a night as he would in 32. The majority of the alterations in Eric's game were to be able to withstand...

Hey, look... A podcast! Without further ado it is time for some Phoenix Suns podcast again! Who is excited? In this weeks edition Clipper Steve (Steve Perrin) joins the show again to talk about the success of the Los Angeles Clippers as one of the best in the west. The conversation dips and dives around the Jared Dudley-Eric Bledsoe trade, hindsight, dangerous playoff teams, and Steve's irrational fear of Grizzlies. The Memphis variety. All in all we keep circling the wagons back around to the topic that remains relevant from the beaches of LA to the deserts of the PHX: Who won the...
