Suns fall over themselves
<center> 
The Suns lost their first three games under Mike D'Antoni to fall to 8-16.</center>

Frank Johnson has been fired, Amare Stoudemire has been hurt, Jake Tsakalidis has been traded, and now they have to worry about Andie McDowell hanging around.
Every. Single. Day.
Ordinarily, this is not such a bad thing. Ordinarily, this is four-on-one-fastbreak good. Except she's got that rodent with her and keeps opening the sports section to the same page, the one with the NBA standings, and parades that in front of the Phoenix Suns.
The last-place Phoenix Suns.
"I don't believe it," center Scott Williams said. "It's like 'Groundhog Day.' I keep waking up some days and saying, 'I can't believe it.' "
It gets worse.
Not only is it real. It's their fault. Stoudemire, the stud rookie a season ago, has been sidelined with a sprained ankle and Zarko Cabarkapa, after early signs of showing himself to be a steal at No. 17 in this year's draft, has a fractured wrist, but the Suns are not victims. They are culprits.
It was one thing for everyone to rank Phoenix as playoff automatics at the start of the season, what with the formidable Stephon Marbury-Shawn Marion-Stoudemire trio and the scare of eventual champion San Antonio in the first round a few months before, but it's another thing for someone else to hand over the same assumption. Phoenix. Then came the tough part: living up to it.
Oh, yeah. That.
