Damn...Stoudemire is a beast...

[CosmicCowboy]

It was bad enough when he was thriving on his athleticism and hustle with slams in the paint and power putbacks on rebounds...now he is getting to be money on that outside jumper too...I realize that Nash was spoon feeding him last night into the heart of the tissue paper defense of the Mavs but the guy looks unstoppable...who on the Spurs not named Duncan even has a hope of guarding this guy?

[Dingle Barry]

indeed, that is my name for him. Beast.

[Jimcs50]

His pushups are cool too.

[Dingle Barry]

kind of like aggy pushups. coincidence?

[Jimcs50]

That is the Univ of Tennessee male cheerleaders that do pushups after every score, not A&M.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

I don't think the guy is that good, I'm more worried about when we face Wade!

[MadDog73]

Eh, let's get through the Sonics first.

Besides, weren't the Mavs finished last series too?!? Don't count them out yet.

[ladiesman]

Sorry Manumania, but this kid is awsome. Maybe not on deffense, but offensively, he is dominating. Don't get too carried away, last year we were already in the finals, and what do you know..... .04 happened :pctoss .

[ducks]

amare>>>>>james
especially in playoffs

[Gummi]

I agree MadDog, lets worry about the Sonics for now. Sure Stoudamire is good, but the suns still have to win 3 more games against a very good Dallas team. Dont' count the Mavs out yet. I'm sure the Mavs will win win more then 1 game in this series.

We shouldn't be so damn worried about the Suns when neither team has eliminated their opponents. Lets finish the Sonics off and then we'll think about our oppents.

[ducks]

yeah because us fans decide the outcome of the game and not the players

players need to stay forcused on sonics
however fans can look ahead

[xcoriate]

Amare sucks :)

Or at least he did when it was all athletism

Now his getting something resembling a jump shot and what some may call post game other than just facing up and trying to run past his man. Still cant rebound or play D.

Meh its all over for him once the hops start to go, unless he can learn to build other areas of his game. Which to his credit his trying to. I still think all round Marion is the better player.

[MadDog73]

Great numbers for Amare last night (40 pts, 16 reb). His Playoff avgs aren't bad either (26 pts, 10 reb).

Question is will he still be able to do it against the Spurs?

And he is doing it against the "Second Best Center in the League" :rolleyes

Amare probably won't get the multiple fast break flushes like last night but as I said in my original post, If D'Antoni adjusts and Nazr or Rasho have to follow Amare out on the perimeter this creates a new set of defensive problems for the Spurs...fouls will be key in that series...

[ladiesman]

If D'Antoni adjusts and Nazr or Rasho have to follow Amare out on the perimeter......

Why do they have to follow? Maybe cheat to prevent the defensive 3 seconds , but not man up on the perimeter... I would much rather have him taking jumpers than posting up.....

Amare Stoudemire...Is not timid... :lol

[MadDog73]

How come Mavs are always getting dunked on so bad?!? :lol

(ie, T-Mac over Shawn) Of course, we all know how THAT series turned out....

[ladiesman]

Wait a minute? Isn't that a foul? Oh oh..... Somebody is going to complain to the league, and then when things settle down, the NBA will be $100K richer......

[CosmicCowboy]

actually, it looks like Dampier is inside the circle so no foul...but it was obviously a stellar defensive effort...:lmao

[LilMissSPURfect]

in that overtime win at phoenix didn't like the whole suns' team have like 50 points each and yet the SPURS still won?

SPURS will handle them when the time comes!

[Horry For 3!]

Stoudemire has had his biggest games against the Mavs. He owns the Mavs and I predicted him to have huge series. Well that showed it already, 40 points 16 rebounds.

[SirChaz]

actually, it looks like Dampier is inside the circle so no foul...but it was obviously a stellar defensive effort...:lmao


Yea, Dampier was trying to defend him with his back turned on that play. LOL

[PM5K]

Give me a break they are playing _allas. You'll see a lot of guys dissapear in the playoffs as the rounds go on and they go from playing ok teams to the real contenders...

[waly.mg]

We have Nazr, TD, Rasho and T-Mass, ready for him

[ladiesman]

Hey man take that back, they do have "The Second Best Center in the League" GIVE THEM THE D BACK!!!... don't be like that.....

[T Park]

I think Nazr Mohammed could keep up with Stoudamire.

Another reason the Spurs made that trade.....

[T Park]

well Rasho and Mass are too slow for him, and Horry is too light.

Mohammed doesn't get pushed around, if the refs dont ride Amare's manhood too hard, Mohammed can keep him in striking distance, and keep Duncan out of foul trouble.


But, the way to beat them is go small, slow the game down, and get stoudamire inf oul trouble with Duncan in the post.


ENOUGH OF TALKING ABOUT PHOENIX

FOCUS ON SEATTLE!!!!

[waly.mg]

We have Nazr, TD, Rasho and T-Mass, ready for him

6 x 4 = 24 fouls only for Amare

[ladiesman]

6 x 4 = 24 fouls only for Amare

If you get 24 fouls out of that group, we are in deep shit !!!

[HB22inSA]

Didn't Amare go for 44 against the Spurs?

Oh wait, Duncan didn't play.

Game Over, Amare.

[SirChaz]

But he averaged 36 when Duncan did play.

[ladiesman]

But he averaged 36 when Duncan did play.

And a push-up a game, and still lost those 2.

[SpursFanDan]

1. He's nothing without nash.
2. Dallas's D is non-existent

[ducks]

I wonder when james could put amare's numbers up in postseason?

[CosmicCowboy]

argueing over regular season games is lame. They don't mean a damn thing in the playoffs or Memphis would have destroyed us in the first round last year.

[T Park]

I wonder when you will grow a brain.

[SirChaz]

1. He's nothing without nash.

He only averaged 20 ppg without Nash and without the jumper he has shown this year.

Yea, he sucks. :rolleyes


2. Dallas's D is non-existent

It sure was no match for Amare or the Suns last night.

[johndraegerhhs]

Amare can really only dunk you take away his dunks and he really sucks

[SirChaz]

Amare can really only dunk you take away his dunks and he really sucks


:drunk


He had like 2-3 dunks last night for 40 points. Now that's efficent.

[ducks]

you take shaq's dunks away he sucks
amare would be alot great then shaq if both could not dunk

ps why should he shoot 19 footers if he can dunk it?

[Mark in Austin]

actually, he's developed a pretty reliable jumper this year...

[ducks]

1. He's nothing without nash

this makes me sick spur fans would make such a stupid comment like that

[FilSpursFan]

Amare shone because Nash is there to spoonfed him... just like Martin with Kidd in NJ... but I admit it Amare is good but not that great though..
