Amare Stoudemire and the Phoenix Suns take on the Cleveland Cavaliers on ESPN tonight.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) -- The Cavaliers face their first Western Conference team of the season. The Suns are 3-1 and are leading the Pacific division. Phoenix's only lost came from the Atlanta Hawks, who the Cavaliers beat last night after a thrilling come from behind victory. The Suns are coming off a 107-76 blowout win over the Chicago Bulls.

The addition of Steve Nash made the Suns an immediate playoff contender in the Western Conference. Many thought since having no big man made them an average team, but they are proving people wrong. Nash averages a team-high 21.0ppg and 8.3apg. Joe Johnson has improved himself since last season averaging 20.0ppg, 4apg and 4rpg.

The Cavaliers have a 4-0 start which is the best start in franchise history. "The players are really having fun and we are just taking one game at a time," Coach Silas said. The Cavaliers are back home after finishing their 3 game road trip. Tonight's game won't be on local television because ESPN is televising the game.

Can someone please give me more info on the Redd going to the Cavs rumor because I'm thinking about getting him in my dynasty?

I want to know are they trying to make a trade or do they just want to sign him in the offseason.

there were no trade humor about redd to cavs. the article i read said that next off-season Redd will be an unrestricted free agent and can sign to any team. Cavs came to the picture coz both james and redd were former players in that certain school (i think bron high school team). but its up to Redd if he want to sign little money to play along side bron.

[-BHZMAFIA-]

Oh, well is there any trade ideas for Redd because I kind of want him. I really don't wantw to trade Gooden, but I would give up Ilgauskas and some more like some of those guards I have. I'm not in a rush to get him yet, but I'm thinking of a few ideas and some suggestions from other people.

Well I finally lost my first game.

I was going to post an ESPN aftergame segment, but I'm not going to waste my time on something like that when nobody really give me any suggestions on anything.

[Donatello]

awesome, i'm glad to see gooden contributing, alot of people don't like him...say he's soft. i saw him play at KU and he's not soft.

that pic of lebron dunking is great....how his legs are crossed, it's just like he's relaxing...he's at home dunking it

are you using a nash patch or is that the default? he looks good.

well he was pretty soft early in his career when he was with the grizz, but that's because he was playing SF. he has became more defensive orientated since going to the cavs and like his last year in orlando.

as for the steve nash face, it's EA's default. the pic i have is kinda messed up for some reason, i guess because i had it too big, but the nash looks just like him imo.

tough loss, everyone seems to have problems with the suns this year just like in real life. great detail with the papers and everything i cant really say enough about it, only that i hope you dont stop doing it im following it very closely hopefully someone "outside" of the regular dynasters will post something at some point. the only person ive seen do this is carmelo, no one else.

Thanks, and I don't see why people wouldn't respond. I know there's only enough you can say about a dynasty, but nobody has anything to say about mine except for the people i know that really enjoy it. after seeing how some people would respond to a dynasty so quickly that i havent seen talk about some other dynasties is what gets me. idk if its a clan or what or maybe they just like the dynasty better...i got more comments in my grizz dynasty than this one. maybe i need to try and do something real big in the dynasty so people can respond, but im not going to waste time and do it if nobody really cares for me to do it in the first place. i never get enough feedback from people to know what im doing wrong and what im doing right as well. im continuing the dynasty because i really like the team, but ive lost the fun of updating all the time and not getting hardly anybody to reply. i see that alot of dynasties have went down in the past few days so im going to try and keep this one up as much as possible, but if it continues i might end mine as well. its just something about responses that makes me want to do more in my dynasty and makes me want to make a better effort at updates.i have many ideas i can use, but lack of technology experience keeps from doing them, but i do try my best with the help i have from other people.

[Mark.]

Yeah I know what you mean, plus people dont seem to talk about the game results anymore either. It could possibly be the fact there are so many dynasties.

But keep at thats what im gonna do, and I think if I can stick to it, you surely can.

Keep up the good work.

[-BHZMAFIA-]

well the only thing people care about are pics and i dont have that quality of a good graphics card so i just took all the pics off the dynasty and stopped it. i might start another one in about few weeks or i might just wait til i get a new video card.

[Micchy_boy]

Dez just continue this, right now there are lots of dynasty and only few gave response or comments. i also want to stop my dynasty but i change my mind. i just put in my mind this idea,

"Only the Best Dynasties Will Stand in the End".
and i know your dynasty will be one of them!!!

[Riot]

Yeah, keep this dynasty going mafia!
