Amare Stoudamire: Suns a threat in the West

[djohn2oo8]

"Obviously, we're not the Lakers," he said. "We're not Boston. We're not those elite teams who are over the salary cap, but we are a threat. Anytime you have Steve Nash

(http://www.azcentral.com/sports/suns/articles/2009/08/25/20090825sunsamare0826.html#)and Amaré Stoudemire on the team, we're a force to be reckoned with."

:lmao:lmao:lmao

[DPG21920]

He just loves to talk. In 5 minutes he will say they are not winners and he is, so it is time to move on.

They will still be dangerous on any given night, but not a real threat.

[Mugshot]

Oh boy...

[benefactor]

I don't know what is funnier....Stoudemire's statements or Rocket fan laughing at Suns fan.

Clearly Stoudamire's statements, everyone laughs at Suns fans, even Knicks fans

[SonOfAGun]

Steve Nash on the Bill Simmons podcast earlier this week did not sound confident about this upcoming season whatsoever.

:lmao

Brick stupid he is.

Nash isnt good like he used to be...

Amare Stoudemire: Wrong

[My Fault]

He must be confused and doesn't realize Nash isn't Kidd..

[KSeal]

The Suns are an 8 seed first round exit at best.

okc more likely will make playoffs then suns

That's why I said, at best :)

[pauls931]

It'll be interesting to see if they can recover from the Kerr failed chemistry experiment. Not elite, but I hope they do better than the 8th seed. Problem is they need another major piece and have nothing to give up for it.

I can't see them being better then Utah, NO, Dallas, Denver or Portland without a move by the Suns or a major injury to one of those team. I think they'll battle for the 8th seed with OKC, Warriors, maybe Clippers.

Well the Suns missed the playoffs last year and they did not get any better, so how can you hope to move up past the 8th seed? Just getting Amare healthy and having Houston fall off might not be enough.

Lakers
Spurs
Mavs
Hornets
Utah
Portland
Denver

are all better than the Suns. Golden State, Clippers are probably close if not better and if Memphis gets some solid contributions they could be better as well.

As long as Kerr and Sarver are in charge I can't say I disagree. Just with the coaching and mental issues last year I don't see how they can possibly do any worse.

O & 42.

They picked up Damon Stoudamire, he's a major piece.

[z0sa]

pffffhtht HAHAHAHAHA

[Bandwagon Spurs Fan]

a threat to steal the #1 pick after their eroded chemistry causes the team to implode???

[JMarkJohns]

With the Suns luck they finish one game out of the playoffs, and, against all odds their selection is awarded the franchises first #1 overall pick only to see it be used by Oklahoma City on Ed Davis or John Wall.

[Red Hawk #21]

Lol

[da_suns_fan]

Who's Stoudamire?

Lame.

At this point, DOK becomes a bigger fool than the thread starter.

"READ MY POST! READ MY POST! THIS GUY SPELLED HIS NAME WRONG!!! WHAT AN IDIOT!"

When are you going to grow up? You post like a pre-pubescent 13 year old kid.

[lefty]

What have we done to the Phoenix Suns ?

OMG

[da_suns_fan]

Based off their latest histroy of bad luck it seems more likely that a couple players will break down, the Suns will finish with a high percentage to win the lottery only to see a young and upcoming thunder team take their top 10 draft pick.

Where as in the past they had capable defenders in Bell, Marion, Kurt Thomas and even Diaw, this years Suns squad has one decent defender and he's going to be 37.

Opposing teams will have a field day on the boards with Amare Stoudemire and Channing Frye as the starting front court. They'll also get burned in transition with Jason Richardson at the 2.

Thats my prediction, anyway.

[timtonymanurich]

I'm NOT convinced. PHX is now irrelevant and you have your all-wise GM to thank for that. PHX is what the Mavs were 5 years ago, LOTTERY BOUND.

[SonOfAGun]

OMG

Yep. It is kind of sad. :depressed

I'm still willing to bet you're no older than I am. No grown man refers to himself as "The Legend".

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

The Warriors hype is funny, and the Clippers hype is even funnier. The only way the Suns won't get the 8 seed is if this is the year OKC gels or if Dunleavy is fired. Not like the 8 seed is good or anything, but you gotta give credit where credit is due. They mortgaged the next 5 years in order to get the 8 seed this year. Mission accomplished.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

But Nash is gonna have fun, which is all that matters.

Im about ten years older than you I believe. Arent you 18? Again, you wouldnt know it by the way you try to get attention with stupid insults.

And I AM a legend. Remember when I first came back and you said "where is da_suns_fan? Ive never seen him just HEARD about him". Theres your evidence right there.

The Stoudamire thing isn't me being an attention whore, it's a random thing that really bugs me.......just like the spelling of a certain UA alumnus's name irks the owners of this site.

What a stupid fucking thread.

You're bashing a player for having confidence in his team? He didn't say the Suns are a championship level team, just a threat.

Hey brah, wouldn't it be rad if he had said, "We're a decent team with no hope for the future."

[BlackBellamy]

Perhaps he meant a suicide threat.

Rocketfan is just mad the Suns wouldn't trade Amare for nothing, so he's pissed his team is gonna be way worse than the Suns this year.

[DPG21920]

Why does he have to talk at all? He goes from "It is my last days with the Suns" to "we are a threat" every 5 minutes. Just shut up.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Why does he have to talk at all?


I asked you the same question about Nash during an argument.

[DPG21920]

Sons, inside the clubhouse is different sons.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Sons, inside the clubhouse is different sons.


In the last year, Nash has made just as many public comments as Amare has, if not more.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

I'm not saying Amare's constant public statements are ok, I don't like them at all.

But if Nash is allowed to publicly talk about going to New York as much as he has in the last year, publicly vent about how playing with some teammates sucks, and publicly demand a raise after leading a team to the lottery, then Amare should be allowed to say his team is a threat.

[Findog]

I'm NOT convinced. PHX is now irrelevant and you have your all-wise GM to thank for that. PHX is what the Mavs were 5 years ago, LOTTERY BOUND.

Mavs made the playoffs in 2004, dumbass. In fact, they haven't been in the lottery since the 99-00 season. You're welcome.

LMAO @ you thinking anyone's jealous of the Suns

LMAO @ trading away Joe Johnson, Quentin Richardson, Boris Diaw, Raja Bell, and Shaq

LMAO @ trading FOR shaq

LMAO @ the Rockets being worse than the Suns, that's just pure idiotic

No, da, you're wrong. As much as I wanted to hate DUNCAN when I landed here a couple months back I came to the quick realization that the little crapper knows his shit. For one so young, he's wise beyond his years. He sees neath the symbolism to the substance and I'm stunned he's as young as he purports to be.

But, hey, da, it's no surprise:::there is no other fan base as knowledgeable and down to earth as that of Suns Fandom. I said it many moons ago on AZ Central and it's been truthing ever since.

Spurs Fandom is way too proprietary, ignorant of NBA arts & letters and they frankly don't know shit from apple butter, Mavs Fandom is quite splendid all-in-all and I must admit I was surprised at their quality. The Celtics fandom is very meek and mild, and I feel sorry for them.

Mori, it wouldn't be fair for the Cubster to appraise & rate his own Fandom. I'm nothing if I ain't just & right. I abide Davy Crockett who once said: "Make sure you're right...then go ahead."

See what I mean Cully. Laker fans themselves have nothing on their mantels accept for the accomplishments of other people.

& that is your belief, DPG. I don't begrudge you that belief.

I devoutly believe that what the Lakers experience (good & bad) is what I experience. They beat Orlando and won the NBA Championship///I won it. They get their clock cleaned by the Celtics in '08///my clock is cleaned. Kobe gets a little Denver mud on his turtle, I get some do-do on mine. I genuinely believe the vast lion's share of NBA players want us to feel that kinship, that connection.

[DPG21920]

So what happened with the Suns, do you not feel them anymore? These deep rooted feelings just vanish when they lose?

[Culburn369]

So what happened with the Suns, do you not feel them anymore? These deep rooted feelings just vanish when they lose?

Those deep rooted feelings are sacred, DPG. That they're on their ass and impotent makes me feel pity, but, I know me:::as soon as they win one in-a-row come November all the old neurosis will surface.

Though it is refreshing being able to get a good hatred up for your fandom. Christ, you fuckers are aggravating.

So you still love the Suns? Now the Lakers as well? Who demands more of your love or is one like the child who knows he/she is and always will be second best in their parents hearts?

[Culburn369]

Don't be purposely obtuse, DPG. I loathe the Suns. I love the Lakers. I'm learning to hate the Spurs.

[DPG21920]

One day you'll learn what it means to be a real fan. I can understand your disconnection to your team though.

A new low for lakaluva. Siding with a bandwagon Suns fan that recently shifted to the Lakers that types like he runs a speakeasy.

[DPG21920]

Don't be purposely obtuse, DPG. I loathe the Suns. I love the Lakers. I'm learning to hate the Spurs.

You hating the Spurs is like the poor kids hating the rich kids. Just because your basketball knowledge is low along with your fan base in general, do not hate Spurs fans because of their superior basketball minds.

Keep in mind Cully, you did actively stumble and make residence on a Spurs board.

[DPG21920]

I know I won't spend an ace on arguing with a bug-eyed Betty like Cully, cause round here I'm the big cheese.

Nash J-rich and Amare would be great in run and gun.

Their not the Mavericks either.

Nash/Amare actually could become a threat, but none of them care about fundamentals, just their run n gun gimmick.

Couldn't make it work when they were younger and the league was less competitive, and they all of a sudden think it'll get them championships now.
