It was actually against the Thunder, a good defensive team. Just goes to show how much you don't know about the Suns.
Yippee...that ONE game was probably against the Clippers. Everything I said about the guy is true and the comparison to Boozer is a valid one.
In fact I think I'm actually insulting Boozer by putting Amare on his level

I watched Amare's punk ass against the Blazers too. And he couldn't rebound for in that series either. He's SOFT man. Just admit it. He's no PF. He's just an over-sized 2 guard. That's what he plays like the majority of the time.
Funny how you're neglecting to mention him against the Spurs. As soft as he is, your ass Bulls team could use him to help them get out of the 1st round since they've only done it once since MJ retired.
Suns got FTs because the lakers were using the formula for rattling the suns, playing physical. LA was fouling.Phoenix + 50 at the ing charity stripe
That was an offensive foul by definition and the fact that Pau ended up on the ground it had to be called.
It's no where near as dumb as the call Phoenix got with like .7 seconds in the 4th in one of the previous games. Or the non-call on the Gasol dunk in game 5
He had a couple of good games against the Spurs. So? The Spurs were beaten more by the Suns bench than Amare
And HOLY !! How does a PF in a contract year only average 6 boards in the playoffs? I knew he was a poor rebounder but goddamn

I can't believe you defend a team that can't get out of the first round. It must suck even more that you have to pretend to be a Suns fan right now.
Hey, as long as my team doesn't go out and waste free agent money on a power-less forward I'll survive

Sorry but free agents don't like teams known for disloyalty.
Dok, you need to let go of amare's nuts. He is a soft, no D playing who isn't even close to deserving max money. I have no idea why you're sucking his so much, while you were busy ting on nash so much - the reason your team has made it so far. Face it, amare = boozer.
how am a i terrorist sympathizer?
I am nuetral, if anything I don't support the state Israel, which invokes terror all the time.
ok...i would still pick amare a million times over boozer. Its just nuts to say otherwise.
amare has god given talent but he has times when he just doesn't give a and you want to kick him off the court.
Boozer is like that all the time when it isn't a contract year. And he is a small stubby PF that should really start using proactive.
He is a naturally ty rebounder, but given the right supporting cast, he can still be a key piece on a championship team. The problem is he's expected to be a franchise player, something he clearly isn't.
And Amare does not equal Boozer, Amare is a way better offensive player and doesn't miss 30 games every year. He also isn't a lying sac of sub-human that people hate.
Oh, you mean he's not Sasha Vujacic???
The Brazillian Blur used to be good right? Like a few years ago?
You forgot:
* Suns would've beaten the Lakers if Earl Clark had played more
* Suns should've let Nash aka "The Canadian Cancer" walk last summer so they could've won 37 games this year and get the 9th pick in the draft instead.
* Suns never should've traded Shaq last summer - he averaged an 18/9 last year. Suns were definitely worse off this year without Shaq.
Nash is the Canadian Cancer apparently. Amare, on the other hand, deserves a pass because he went into BEAST mode for 3 months for a contract push. Let's all remember this next December when he's going through the motions and putting up 21/7.
Findog, I've given Nash props multiple times for ting on me this season, but it doesn't change what happened last season. I'm glad to see it was only a 1 year thing, but going off last season I had every right to be pissed at him. Last year, Shaq was the best player on the Suns, plain and simple. I'm more than glad I was wrong about the decision the team made, but my opinions were by no means irrational. I also don't get how he could have walked last summer, the team had an option on him for this season that they picked up.
PS - Earl Clark could have certainly helped against LA if he had been getting consistent PT all season. He has the length and athleticism to guard Kobe or Odom better than anyone else did.

Hmm Dampier or Steve Nash. Hmmmm which one would I rather have?
Now that I'm watching this game over again, I could care less if Amare stays/leaves. His disengaged demeanor the 1st 3 quarters had everything to do with a lack of ball movement and touches (once he was in with the 2nd unit in the 4th and was getting touches, he was focused), but it's ridiculous how someone who thinks he deserves a max contract falls apart whenever his teammates do. If the whole team was sucking I'd be fine with him being no different, but in the 1st quarter when Phoenix scored 34 points, he had no excuse for the defense he played just because he wasn't getting touches. I'd still prefer to keep him since he does have a good chemistry with the young guys on the team (Dudley, Dragic, Lopez) and can succeed in the right scenario, but if Kerr and Sarver think it'll be easier to go with more cap flexibility and if it'll be tough on Nash to end his career on a team trying to build around Amare and force feed him so he stays focused, I fully support them letting him leave.
You noticed that too? I saw him bobble at least 3 great passes from Nash and Dragic, the type of plays someone not having their head in the game would have. I didn't notice his shortcomings on D so much.
But even that horrible pass by Barbosa that he recovered, the effort he made was just barely good enough to recover the ball when any serious effort would have easily retrieved it.
The problem is he stops expecting the ball, moving without the ball and stops looking for the ball if he goes like 2 possessions without touching it, regardless of whether or not his team scored. This also leads to a lack of focus on defense. By no means did the team do a good job getting him the ball in good spots or make an effort to get him touches in the slightest, but chances are if he was a better leader who his coaches and teammates respected there would have been the concerted effort to get him the ball.
i would totally give phoenix anything other than brooks for Nash, maybe even brooks if 7 '6" piece of can stay healthy because whether you like it or not ...he is the 2nd smartest player in the league after kobe. Maybe smarter, but with less talent
A guy wrecking at that sort of age is no joke. Steve Nash revolutionized the suns upon his arrival.
o . I just realized I was repping the suns in my avatar and sig!
sorry but kaytie is there to stay
