"M-V-P...M-V-P!" Phoenix Suns PG Goran Dragic will remember those chants "probably my whole life"
He used to hear those chants for teammate Steve Nash. Now, he is starting to hear them for himself. Goran Dragic is playing at an All-NBA level, and Suns fans are showing their appreciation. Big Time. Dragic was unlikely to play against the Pelicans all the way up to pre-game warmups where he tested his ankle. "You know Goran, he's gonna want to go," Hornacek said before the game. "We'll ask the training staff to try to get an honest answer out of him how much it hurts. But again, we can't rush him back and have it continue to aggravate." Hornacek spent the next few minutes talking about...

Goran Dragic's career night leads the Phoenix Suns past the New Orleans Pelicans
The Suns may still have some work ahead to escape their post-All-Star break funk, but at least they're not brow-beaten. Goran Dragic scored a career-high 40 points, erasing his five-day-old previous best of 35, and the Suns pulled away from New Orleans and forward Anthony Davis, he of the prominent uni-brow, for a 116-104 victory at US Airways Center.

Final Score: Phoenix Suns 116, New Orleans Pelicans 104
Goran Dragic set a new career high with points (40) despite barely starting the game due to a bad ankle that clearly bothered him. Yet he knew the Suns needed a win, and he delivered. The Phoenix Suns forgot to bring their defense to the game, and nearly allowed the Pelicans to take the upset. But then a little D (defense) and a lot D (Dragic) led the Suns to a big win. Not-an-All-Star Goran Dragic set a new career high for the third week in a row, reaching 40 points. Dragic also had 5 assists and 2 rebounds along with his points. On a bum ankle. That was clearly hurting. Markieff Morris...

Dragic unlikely to play for Phoenix Suns, while Anthony Davis is a "go" for Pelicans
In advance of the late night game on ESPN, it looks like the Pelicans will play their All-Star after injuring a shoulder in the last game on a rebound attempt, while the Suns may not risk playing Goran Dragic with a badly twisted ankle. Based on pregame interviews with the coaches, it looks like the Suns will be overmatched in terms of raw talent tonight on ESPN. First, Jeff Hornacek expressed pessimism that Goran Dragic would play tonight. "You know Goran, he is going to want to go," Hornacek said. "Again, we cannot rush him back and have it continue to aggravate. We will try to get an...

Phoenix Suns point guard Goran Dragic sits against Utah Jazz with sprained ankle
SALT LAKE CITY - When the game was on the line and the energy was flowing Tuesday night, Suns point guard Goran Dragic did not feel the pain and swelling of his right ankle like he did once he had to walk to the team bus and sit on a plane to get here overnight Tuesday. Dragic did not like sitting out Wednesday night at Utah any more than when he missed three games for spraining the other ankle in November, but it was necessary.

Suns pummeled 109-86 by Jazz as Goran Dragic sits
When Goran was ruled out before the game it was safe to assume the Suns had their work cut out for them. Instead they took the night off. The Jazz made short work of a team without their leader that looked like an Ish out of water. Recap The game didn't start as a bruising battle between defensive heavyweights. The Jazz were getting the shots they wanted early and by the first called timeout at 5:18 Utah led 18-13 by going 8-13 from the field and committing no turnovers. The first foul of the game wasn't even called until the back side of that timeout, though, which meant that the play...

Final Score: Phoenix Suns fall to Houston Rockets 115-112
Goran Dragic hit a career high 35 points, including 25 in the first half, but it wasn't enough as the Rockets came back from a 10-point deficit to rally to a win over Phoenix. The Houston Rockets read the Phoenix Suns scouting report and decided to take the game into their own hands. The Suns are good at defending the three-point line but give up a lot of paint points. So, the Rockets spent the entire first quarter passing into the paint, to the tune of 20 of their first 26 points. But then the Suns second unit, along with ironman Goran Dragic, went on an answering 29-8 run in the second...
