    That sounds toooo famliar. Almost like Gentry called and asked Pop's advice on wierd rotations 101 strategies.
    I was thinking that sounded like Carlisle. His allengiance to Jason Terry is what got us beat in game 6. All these coaches are the same at times. But still..

    Pop>>Gentry>>>>>Carlisle.

    Gentry ed up---he should have stayed with Dragic---Hill sucked balls---the entire game==dudley should have stayed on Kobe...

    regardless---lakers were the better team

    Celtics will prove to be the best team again though, so this was the lakers last hurrah this year---for whatever its worth...

    It's dicey now with Amare & the Suns. They don't want him to walk away without a sign & trade, and if they piss him off he's liable to just take less money and walk away.

    I don't care whether or not he deserves it, I just know it's better for the Suns to give him a max contract than let him walk.
    If he walks and they land in the lottery, is that such a bad thing for this team? Nash is on his final contract. Hill is probably gonna retire soon. Dragic will take over the team with Lopez, Dudley, and Frye I guess. Even with Amare, what's the ceiling next year? And if you give him a max contract you're stuck with a no-rebounding, minimal defense PF who has the IQ of a raisin.

    I probably wasn't watching the game as closely as you, but thats not what I saw. I saw Frye husling more than Amare and getting rebounds, and I saw Amare getting out worked at times. Rebounding was the suns downfall imo, and getting 4 from your PF isn't going to cut it.

    Frye had an easier time grabbing rebounds because Amare was boxing out, Amare was boxing Gasol out and then had to worry about Bynum or Odom. This simple minded, "Amare didn't grab a lot of rebounds, that's why the Suns suck at defense" is truly moronic. Amare's 4 rebounds have nothing to do with Artest and Kobe combining for 62 points.

    So you think he deserves a max contract then? Really?
    There are other less skilled players making just as much money.

    Its a tough decision though. His play over the last few months could have been just contract hoeing.

    Maybe you missed it, but it was Amare's defense that led to Pau Gasol's terrible night.
    Amar'e made it up to the Lakers with his ups, especially those two offensive fouls in the 4th.

    I never knew someone who just scored 27 points could be such a cancerous presence.

    I still can't believe Gentry left Barbosa in after the timeout that Amare had to call because of Barbosa's stupidity. And then he won't pass the ball and takes a 30-foot shot. Argh.

    Suns are still one of the worst defensive teams in the league if Amare leaves. I'm not sure why people think letting him leave turns the Suns into a defensive juggernaut.

    on 7-20 shooting. He's never been a great rebounder or defender. Just because someone is willing to give him a max contract, doesn't mean he deserves one.

    I thought Gentry should have brought Nash back with 5 and a half minutes left, and instead he leaves him on the bench until the 3:26 mark! In an elimination game. Insanity.

    Amare is to blame for that ridicilous call?

    In today's NBA, Amare is a max contract player. Plain and simple.

    You think Amare getting 4 rebounds isn't a problem?
    You think the Lakers getting offensive rebounds didn't equate into more points?

    Sad, but true.

    Symbolism over substance rears it's ugly head.

    People keep bringing that up. Would you rather your franchise gives out a max contract because a guy will get it somewhere else or let him walk because he isn't worth a max contract?

    I can't defend Gentry's rotation decisions in this series. He hasn't earned that contract extension yet, next season there better be more accountability (especially on defense and rebounding) or he's out.

    Which offensive rebounds were his fault? Odom's 5 were all on Frye, he was guarding Odom the entire game. Gasol did get 3 but that's what he gets pretty much every night offensive rebounding wise.

    Giving Amare a max deal sucks, but what are Phoenix's options? Run the pick and roll for Frye?

    If Barbosa deserves his current contract, Amare sure as deserves a max contract.

    He averaged 6 rebounds a game this series and 5.5 a game against Portland. Clearly when he has tall guys to contend with, he doesn't rebound. He's not worth a max deal. Maybe you should hope that Nash can convince Dirk to leave Dallas.
