FLAGSTAFF - If Tom Gugliotta walked under a ladder, broke a mirror or took possession of some cursed monkey's paw, surely he's paid his penance by now.


The guy's had more bad luck in his first three seasons with the Suns than most players will know in a career. It's all well documented by now: A near fatal seizure from taking a food supplement, a blown knee that cost him a spot in the Olympics, the death of his mother, and off-season surgery on a bad wrist.
