Phoenix Suns – Goran Dragic Handles All Star Snubbing Pretty Well
Life goes on even if the All-Star game doesn’t come calling, and the Phoenix Suns enjoyed the fire it breathed into Goran Dragic, who led his team to a very impressive 102-94 road victory over the Indiana Pacers.

Los Angeles Lakers – It’s Getting Sad & Depressing
One of the only bright spots in this awful season for the Los Angeles Lakers has been the constant fast-paced offense this team is trying to run, and watching Nick Young do his thing, which doesn’t always work, but is always entertaining to watch. As they lost their sixth in a row (and 12th in 13), Swaggy P being ejected was a big part of another step backwards for the team and franchise, who are going through a stretch no one in Tinseltown even remembers.

Phoenix Suns – Not Slowing Down For Anyone
So what if everyone said the Phoenix Suns are supposed to tank and be among the worst in the Western conference? Whatever Jeff Hornacek started doing with this team, it’s working beyond the wildest expectations, as Goran Dragic led them through a rough night for Eric Bledsoe to an impressive 107-88 win on the road against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Suns vs Nuggets – The Remarkable, Surprising Ride Continues
Sometimes it feels like the roles have changes between these teams. The Denver Nuggets aren’t horrendous like the Phoenix Suns were last season, but there’s nothing truly remarkable about them right now. The Suns? A year that should have been about rebuilding is turning into something very different, thanks to Jeff Hornacek on the sidelines and a bunch of mostly young players who didn’t read the memo about them supposedly tanking.

Phoenix Suns – Eric Bledsoe & Goran Dragic Keep Putting on Shows
Maybe it’s still too soon to declare the Phoenix Suns as “for real” and out of the tanking category, because things might change later on, but right now they’re not just winning. They happen to be one of the best shows in the NBA, mostly thanks to their dual point guard backcourt of Eric Bledsoe and Goran Dragic, leading the team to a 106-102 win over the Golden State Warriors.

Suns vs Lakers – Kobe Bryant Is Ruining It For The Others
It’s as if nothing has changed. Kobe Bryant is back, taking the same kind of shots, ruining the flow of team play the Los Angeles Lakers developed during his time off the court. The defense, with or without him, is probably more of a reason that the Phoenix Suns were able to win 114-108, as Goran Dragic found it very easy to put up one of his best games since arriving in the NBA.

Los Angeles Clippers – DeAndre Jordan Looks Like a Superstar for Once
When you give someone as athletic and big like DeAndre Jordan so many open looks next to the rim, there’s no reason he shouldn’t finish with a double double, despite his limited offensive and general basketball abilities, helping the Los Angeles Clippers, setting a new franchise record for wins in a regular season, reaching that magical 50 number for the first time ever.

Los Angeles Lakers – Who Knew the Phoenix Suns Played Defense
The easy thing to say after the Phoenix Suns wiped the floor with the Los Angeles Lakers? Kobe Bryant didn’t play,and you can’t win without him forever. The truth? The Suns simply eliminated Dwight Howard in the paint, forcing the Lakers to try and win through jump shots, which ended up being a miserable failure.

Goran Dragic Pulls Off the Assist of the Season
It’s going to take time, maybe forever, until Goran Dragic is loved by Phoenix Suns fans like Steve Nash was and still is, but that doesn’t mean Dragic can’t get the upper hands in an individual battle between the two, using Nash’s open legs to deliver what is probably the best assist anyone has seen this NBA season.

A Dirty Kind of NBA Night
First it was Dwyane Wade trying to make sure Ramon Sessions doesn’t get to have any kids. It was followed by Dwight Howard stopping Kenneth Faried from scoring on him by planting two hands in his face. It ended with J.R. Smith using a slight shoulder nudge on Goran Dragic to make sure he ends up on the floor.
