Phoenix Suns History
from
http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com/nba/phoenix/suns.html
2000/01: The Suns would get off to a fast start winning
7 of their first 8 games. However, as January rolled
around the Suns would be plagued by injuries as Anferne
Hardaway was forced to shutdown his comeback attempt
after just 4 games. An off the court incident involving
Jason Kidd would make matters worse as he missed 15-games
after being charged with spousal abuse. Kidd would return
to lead the Suns back into the playoffs for the 13th
straight season with a 51-31 record. However, in the
playoffs the Suns would make another first round exit
as they are beaten by the Sacramento Kings in 4 games.
Following the season the Suns roster will undergo major
changes as Jason Kidd is traded to the New Jersey Nets
for Stephon Marbury.
20001/02: To say the Jason Kidd-Stephon
Marbury deal didn't work out would be an understatement
as the Phoenix Suns struggled all season missing the playoffs
for the first time since 1988 with a horrid 36-46 record.
Marbuy would lead the Suns with 20.4 ppg, but the Suns
clearly missed the play making ability of Jason Kidd who
had an MVP type season turning New Jersey Nets from perennial
losers to Eastern Conference Champions.
2002/03: In the NBA Draft the Suns rolled
the dice drafting Amare Stoudemire with the 9th overall
pick. Stoudamire had never played a single game of college
basketball and even had his high school career tarnished
by losing his eligibility in his junior season. However,
the gamble would pay off, as Stoudemire was a force on
the boards with an impressive 8.8 rebound per game, which
enabled Stephon Marburry and Shawn Marion to each score
more the 20 points per game. The Suns would go on to beat
out the Houston Rockets for the final playoff spot with
a record of 44-38 as Stoudamire beat out Rockets star
Yao Ming for Rookie of the Year honors. In the playoffs
the Suns got off to a dramatic start as they stunned the
San Antonio Spurs on the road in Game 1 in overtime forcing
overtime on a bank shot by Amare Stoudemire, and winning
on buzzer beating 3-point bank shot by Stephon Marbury
96-95. The Suns would continue to give the Spurs all they
could handle but starred a 3-1 deficit in the face after
losing Games 2 and 3, as they trailed Game 4 throughout.
However, the Suns would stage a remarkable comeback tying
the series at 2 games apiece on a game winning shot from
Jake Voskuhl. After losing Game 5 in San Antonio the Suns
would finally set in Game 6 losing to the Spurs 87-85.
2003/04: After a strong performance against
the eventual NBA Champions in the playoffs the Suns stumbled
out of the gate posting a mediocre 7-8 record through
the end of November. Things would only get worse in December
as the Suns posted an awful 5-12 record on the month which
led to the dismissal of Coach Frank Johnson. With Mike
D'Antoni taking over the rest of the way, the Suns would
also decide to retool as they trade Stephon Marburry and
Anfrernee Hardaway to the New York Knicks in a multiplayer
deal aimed at cutting the team's payroll. With the team
going in a new direction they would struggle all season
spending most of the season at the bottom of the Pacific
Division. However, with a relatively strong final month
the Suns would be able to escape last place finishing
6th with a record of 29-53. Following the season the Suns
took advantage of their payroll flexibility signing free
agent all star Steve Nash along with Quentin Richardson.
