Did anyone else see Amare making fun of the Spurs?

[tsb2000]

I honestly thought he was mocking Parker since the Suns think the Spurs do nothing but flop...

Stoudamire is as dumb as a box of rocks.

I thought the bigger "mock" was D'Antoni's reaction to Timmy's 3.

For me, he's the most overrated coach in the league.

His iness and lack of ability to coach was summed up in that one expression.

He was obviously shrugging off a Duncan three, rather than not chastising his team's poor defense. First, the Suns had a foul to give and should have used it. Second, they should have fouled on-the-ball a second time to force free-throws.

Yet foremost, and the biggest problem I have with him is the fact that he didn't care that his team was collapsing on a player driving to the hoop when they're up three. Not only was Ginobili being guarded on that play, but Shaq went over to double-team him. In a situation like that, it's obvious that you NEVER double-team and NEVER leave a man open beyond the arc.

If they had fouled or just let Gino have a layup, the Spurs would have been forced to foul (down at least one) and would have had to deal with Nash shooting free-throws.

Instead? D'Antoni thought it was "funny" that Duncan hit a three.

The rest of the team's shenanigans (like Stoudemire possibly mocking Parker) is just crap that stems from a lack of decent leadership from the suit at the end of the bench.

yeah I agree with the D'antoni take there. But think how he must have felt. He thought he had every option on the floor covered, seconds away from a HUGE Phoenix game 1 victory over their arch-nemesis, and then Tim freakin Duncan, who NEVER shoots threes buries one on your ass to tie the game AGAIN! His mind and his heart probably imploded simulataneously and all he could probably do was laugh to keep from bursting into tears.

I'm glad that helped them win the game... oh wait it didn't.

I liked D'Antonis reaction. It was more like "What the do we have to do to beat these guys?"
