This Magic team = What the Suns this year could have been?

[Darthkiller]

Magic- a beast in the middle + 3 point shooters

Suns - a beast in the middle + 3 point shooters


I mean if the suns have just played some defense like magics do , they would be a even better version of the Magic since they lead the league in offensive efficiency.

Unfortunately, D'Antoni teams will never sniff championships because of th is.

[Ghazi]

They sniffed a title in 2005 and 2007.

If your referring to the Suns beast as in Amare, he is nothing like Dwight. Howard plays on the low block and draws double teams that way.....Amare plays off the pick n roll and from what i recall was not doubled

[Darthkiller]

the original superman?

I see your talking about Shaq however the suns lack the 3points shooters that they once had

[Bob Lanier]

If Dwight Howard is a beast then the word beast has lost some of its cachet.

Shaq isn't and never was as good as Howard on defense and rebounding, and the converse is true on offense.

Nash is a much better playmaker than Turkoglu.

The Magic are one of the three best defensive teams in the NBA, and the Suns most assuredly are not.

Not much of a comparison.

[pauls931]

I think the Suns outside shooting is no where on par with Orlando too. Too easy for teams to clog up the middle on them or double shaq.

[The Franchise]

The Magic play defense.

[dirk4mvp]

The Magic have a somewhat legit bigman.

[manufan10]

^ +1

Also what was said above, the Suns lost their good 3 point shooting and they don't play defense.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

lol comparing Amare to a defensive player of the year.


Amare's got a better chance of winning the sportsmanship award than he does winning the defensive player of the year award.

Its so wonderful :cry

:lol that mix had a gay song.

Since Ghazi and Steve Nash have vaginas gay is a good thing in their book.

[Ghazi]

I like it

take a risk, take a chance, make a change...

[Ghazi]

Just a shame what our beloved Nash and Dirk have been through

'03 Dirk gets hurt, costing Nash/Dirk a title
'05 Joe Johnson gets hurt, costing PHX a title
'06 ref screwjob, costing Dirk a title. Amare hurt for Nash
'07 fluke Warriors shots + bullshit technicality suspensions.

History will remember our guys as players who couldn't get it done, well history can suck it, our heroes were just unlucky as FUCK.

Shaq is 45 years old.

[tomtom]

reminds me more of the spurs, though they are more athletic but not as smart

[pauls931]

Shaq is so old he has to be carbon dated.

[Brazil]

yep a D specialist, a dominant big who open the trees, good 3 shooters, another big who can shoot the 3 and run, coaching style in much younger and athletic.

[poop]

no...despite the image media geniuses have been putting out, the Buns were never a serious title contender. not since 93-95 anyway.
it sounds cliche but they never played defense. the magic do. even if we didnt stomp them in '05, the Pistons would have. in '07 the Jazz would have offed them in the WCF. their one chance was maybe '06 since that year was tainted as a taint

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

in '07 the Jazz would have offed them in the WCF.

As everyone here knows I'm not a suns fan that likes to dwell and glorify the 2007 team..........with that said the above statement is wildly retarded.

[TDMVPDPOY]

htf are 2 teams comparable? the suns are a choke artist team man....

[ginobili's bald spot]

Op doesn't understand the concept of defense. Those two teams are polar opposites defensively.

I wouldn't say complete polar opposites, but if a Phoenix player fucked up on defense, all he had to do was apologize to D'antoni and he wouldn't get disciplined. Stan Van Gundy would have a heart attack if he had to deal with someone as stupid as Leandro Barbosa.

Amare is a beast in his own mind, but in fact, he's a pussy on the boards. He should be arrested for impersonating a big man for having a career rebounding average under 9 per game.

[exstatic]

They sniffed a title in 2005 and 2007.

They sniffed SA's crotch as the Spurs skull fucked them at will.
