Simmons on the 2007 Suns
If you don't like Bill Simmons, then I'm sorry, but there's not much I can do to help you.
This time around, Simmons looks at the 2007 Phoenix Suns and he ranks them waaaay up there.
Not only is it an interesting read as usual, but there are some of the quality Simmons moments you've come to expect:
If this were a rock band, Marion would be the drummer -- the guy who's killing himself every night and resigning himself to a couple of solos per concert.
[Raja Bell is like] "[Bruce] Bowen after two shots of tequila and a slap to the face"
In a related story, the Suns are 26-2 in their last 28 games. Here were their two losses:Anyway, get over there and have a read.
Dec. 22: They lose to the Wizards in OT (144-139) in a game that Arenas tied with a 3-point play in regulation, then Nash missed a wide-open 3 that could have ended it.
Dec. 28: They lose in Dallas by two (101-99) when Nowitzki made a jumper with 0.1 seconds left.
With two reasonable breaks (Nash making the 3-pointer, Nowitzki missing the jumper), the Suns could be working on a 28-game winning streak right now.
