Hey, there are no guarantees in the lottery. Atlanta has to send a pick sooner or later. We still have two picks in the first round at 24 and 29, and can try to trade up to get Acie Law.

Wow.
What a week to be a Suns fan.
My stomach can’t take anymore kicks to it. Stop. Please. The next thing you know the Suns will trade Amare and completely ruin me.
As Peter Krause said on one of my favorite all-time TV shows, Sports Night :
“Sometimes you just stand there, hip deep in pies.”
It sure feels like I’ve been hit with an entire bakery full of them. And I know all the Suns fans out there agree.
So not only did the Suns get hosed by the NBA and lose to the Spurs in six games, but our one big bright spot was a little draft pick from Atlanta if they didn’t end up with a top 3 spot in the lottery.
They had a measly 11% chance to get the 3rd pick.
You know it already. They got it. Wham, another pie!
It was going to be a saving grace. We’d walk away with the 4th overall pick, grab a sweet young talent and things would start looking up again.
Well, now it down to offseason moves. Who will stay, who will go? Will there be a trade? Can we get Kevin Garnett without losing Amare, Nash or Barbosa? Will I win the lottery this week? Will my boss suddenly grant me an earlier retirement with a totally unforeseen pension?
Doubtful.
Especially not this week.
I bet that hurts you whiny pieces of ! Serves you right, for turning what could have otherwise been a great series into the biggest fest of the season. Man, I just realized Suns fans have definitely surpassed the Mavs on my hate-those-pieces-of- -o-meter!
EDIT:
DISCLAIMER: I realize not EVERY Suns fan is a blind homer like the people in that board. We've had some alright contributors from the Suns fan base, but I do believe you people are the exceptions to the rule. This goes for Mavs fans as well.

Listen...I've seen a lot of boards, my own, and this one, and tons of others...let me tell you, we're ALL homers most of the time.
I know Amare and Boris were at fault for leaving the bench. I admit that and that's fine.
But the rule sucks and I'm bitter about it. Is it right? Maybe not. If it happened to you guys, would you be mad and bitter? Probably, because I would think you are a TRUE fan to your team and support them through thick and thin.
We're all fans of our teams...we stick up for them, we support them and that's the way it is
And after getting dumped by the Spurs again, the only bright spot on the horizon was the draft...and we didn't get that either
Anyways, thanks for reading my blog and posting it here...I feel flattered

Heh. It's pretty easy to look down your nose at fans of another franchise when your own hit the lottery jackpot twice in years of dominating big men. The Suns have just missed twice -- once on a coin flip in 1969 for Kareem and another to the Spurs in 1987 for David Robinson.
Take away two dumb luck twist of the ping pong balls and what are the Spurs sounding like today? Not bragging about 3 championships, that's for damn sure.
Yes I agree, we're all homers in one way or the other, but the difference between US and YOU is that WE don't ban people for expressing their point of view. I don't mean troll, I mean simply stating an opinion in a polite manner. You people ban anyone that has any opinion other than "the Suns got robbed", "the Suns are the best" etc. That is BLIND homerism.

That is because no reasonable person could dispute that the Suns got robbed.
... you just described every team in the history of the sport! Great reasoning there bro! Let me tell you something, I'm not looking down on the Suns, I'm looking down on their fans!! For a period of two weeks we here have seen you people belittle the Spurs' accomplishments simply because you disagree with one controversial call (which wasn't even controversial in the first place IMO). Suns fans have ed so loud, and for so long that now the Spurs, the most consistantly successful franchise in all of pro sports, are now in danger of being considered "dirty"... and for what?? for a foul that wasn't that bad in the first place!
What you people have proven is that you are without a doubt, the most consistantly annoying, irritating bunch of whiners in this league. Go cry some more on your bad fortune, and leave us "dirty" yearly le contenders to our mischievous ways
no son, the Suns didn't get robbed, they robbed themselves!
OH
Actually, that is not entirely true.
Yes, some of you come over and have been okay...but while you see one guy get banned who was legit, we've banned 100 others who have done nothing but bash the Suns and want to cause problems. Some of these guys get banned and then reregister.
You have to understand we were getting more traffic that we usually get and we try to keep it somewhat under control.
I know we've probably banned some people who didn't deserve it, and I'm sorry about that, but the reason isn't because we think the Suns are the best, yadda, all that crap you just said, it's because we have A LOT of trolls come around this time of the year.
What exactly did you people do to get cursed so?
* Lost out on Kareem by a coin flip
* Got everyone's hopes up in 1976 only to flame out
* Garnered the best record in the West in 1980-81 only to flame out to a sub-.500 team
* Saw your team ripped apart by a cocaine scandal
* Lost out on David Robinson by one slot
* Had your hearts ripped out by John Paxson in 1993, completing an 0-3 home stint in the Finals
* Choked two years in a row against the Houston Rockets (is Mario Elie still in your nightmares?)
* Saw Backcourt 2000 collapse in a flurry of injuries and wife-beating
And now, just when it finally looked after Game 4 like the Suns had finally gotten over the hump against the Spurs, a freak incident causes your team to be crippled for a crucial Game 5, and lose the series.
Now your team is in a salary-cap bind that can only be loosed by weakening the team, and pretty much ending hopes of a le in the Steve Nash era.
You thought you had a coup to get Atlanta's draft pick and reload seamlessly, but you crapped out despite 8 to 1 odds in your favor.
Apparently God hates the Phoenix Suns. What did you do to incur his wrath? How do you live with knowing the Suns will never win it all in your lifetime, and will fall short in the most excruciating way possible time and time again?
I think you raise an interesting issue about Suns fans whining, but the reason you think it's so bad is because those complaints were echoed by almost EVERY major sports person in the country...... you just described every team in the history of the sport! Great reasoning there bro! Let me tell you something, I'm not looking down on the Suns, I'm looking down on their fans!!

It wasn't just Suns fans whining, it was most of sports. Dan Patrick, Barkley, Bill Simmons, etc.
Include all of them too in your complaints.
And yes, we whined...and complained. But listen. I know Raja Bell plays a bit dirty sometimes, flopping and whatnot, and I know Bruce Bowen and Ginoboli do that same stuff.
The thing is, we are fans of our teams. We're always going to love the guy on our side.
And while the decision to ban our guys was the right move and call by Stern, I find it hard to believe that you intelligent fans can't see how hard that was on us.
Horry does what he did, and we lose two guys. Our guys were dumb for getting off the bench, but it still sucked that it happened because of what Horry did.
Anyways...I wish you could see our side of it. And I do think the Spurs are a great, great team. Duncan is so underrated as an MVP-type player...he's been solid for so long and people just glaze over him and look at Nash, James, Kobe, etc.
Well, I thought I was fairly well-behaved here and wrote nothing but kind words for the Spurs. The fans who were banned at ASFN could barely hold their contempt for the Suns.
I'm not sure why you singled out Mike, other than you're just miffed you've lost a place to flex your improperly inflated ego. The fact you took the time to write out this gloat here is evident your own brand of homerism needs to stay among Spurs fans. Anything like this on my board and I would've banned you, too.
hey stfu, all you guys do is , i think i've met one suns fan online that i've liked, and it's not you. so 99% of you are whiney little ho's who make mark cuban look like a grown man.
ALL you guys went out like pussies and you continue to go out like pussies.
Well, that was totally uncalled for...hey stfu, all you guys do is , i think i've met one suns fan online that i've liked, and it's not you. so 99% of you are whiney little ho's who make mark cuban look like a grown man.

Psh that's nothing. I root for the Arizona Cardlinas.
I didn't single out Mike, I don't have a clue who he is, other than the fact he mods over in that board. I was just rejoicing in the Suns fans misery, and Mikes little article there just happened to be the first example I could find.
By the way, I was banned from your little board, and I showed nothing but respect for your team. I introduced myself politely and you people nearly chewed my head off simply because I registered.
As for my improperly inflated ego, it comes from a decade of my team consistantly being among the best in pro sports, where, pray tell, does your's come from?
You have no respect for other people's opinion. Here's a little example of what gets you banned in your board.
I'm not making this up, this was the actual post that got one of us banned from your siteSeries ends in SA on Friday.
Good run by the Suns, though. Be proud of your team!

yes... entirely objective. I guess you like your subjectivity with NBA rulings as well as message board rules huh?Addendum:
Not just blatant trolling, however, those who insist are claiming that us Suns fans do not have a illegitimate gripe and contest any remarks in that regards will be banned. We have every right to rant/vent. This ruling is emphatic expletive, expletive.....
yet another example of what it takes to get banned in your board. Yes, indeed, preposterous that he should say that
by the way... I REST MY CASE!
I'd like to think I've got a few more years under my belt, and the Suns make one great run at least once a decade. That said, we've just about run out of methods at undoing the curse. People wonder why the Suns have been so committed to running the ball for so long -- it's because we've always been just shy of landing a legitimate big man. Rather than settle for mediocre with a conventional attack, the Suns have been plucky in putting together strong teams that run the ball. It's why the Suns have been so consistently successful over the years without actually winning it all: Management has always been able to overcome those obstacles to put a winner on the floor. It just hasn't figured out how to put a champ-een on the floor.
I give all due credit to the Spurs. NBA history is replete with teams who've squandered great fortune of talent, even occasionally with great big men. Ewing never won a championship. The Spurs have held it together, though, so my hats off to them.
Notice how I haven't insulted you Mike, and if you bothered to lift my ban from your little board, I would gladly have a civilized conversation with you over there. Question is, can you handle it?
Karma sucks doesn't it Suns... eat it.
What I hate is the sense of en lement that Suns fans have. Regular season records to not equate with NBA les. Just ask Mavs fan.
If it makes you feel better, go make youself a Suns t-shirt with something like "the REAL champions" on it or something. But, for now, just go away.
Good post!
