Hubbard: Hornacek has Suns Shining Brightly
When the season was at hand, a number of distinguished correspondents on this site and many others offered predictions that ranged from serious to absurd.

As of now, his eligibility isn’t
Fantasy Spin: Saturday, January 4, 2014

SH Blog: Chris Paul out 3-5 Weeks; Trade Talk Heats Up; Nash Hopes To Return Soon; How Valuable Is Andre Iguodala?
As the NBA season finds itself some 30-games into the season, we are starting to get an idea of who’s who around the league. For the most part, we know who will be around to contend in April, May and June. But the question today is who will be a real threat?
