All Amare did was kill the Suns' chemistry

Doubt it. He's played all of 48 minutes since his return, and they did just fine against Denver when Amare didn't produce much. It looks to me like the team's just distracted by this whole ordeal. They need to wake the up though and start playing defense again. Seems like their D has completely decayed since KT went out.

so does this mean denver actually has a shot at making the wcf with the way the seeding is this year??

[slayermin]

Because in 2 games, they lost by more total points than the last 4 losses combined, that is how.

There was that hope that Amare would comeback and push them to the le. That would be a huge letdown if he is out for the season. Phoenix might be able to make a nice playoff run if they can recover from the realism that they will not have Amare.

I agree the Amare experiment sent the SUns in a tailspin. It wont last but it's obvious.

yeah, that and they barely beat the nuggets.....It's one of two things 1. Amare or 2. a Slump

would hate to see they are on a slump this late in the season and so close to the playoffs

the hubris of the Suns anyway for a team that ain't done anything yet and may never - how fun this is!

I was thinking the same thing. Without Amare, that becomes an interesting series with Denver having everyone healthy and adding Patterson and Evens. The Suns cakewalk to the WCF is no gimme.

Only if they lose to Indiana on Thursday.

[Supreme Allah]

LMAO.. Nash got a triple double layed on him by Charlie friggin' Bell!! CHARLIE BELL!!! He had career highs in points, rebounds, AND assists. Gotta love the MVP except on D.

Dont hate on Charlie, he has a complete game and is a stifling defender.

I think you nailed it.

The Suns are giving up, on average, an extra 5 or 6 PPG since KT went down.
That is a huge difference.

They have nobody to defend the post and teams are killing them inside. Then they double the post and teams like the Bucks kill them from the outside.


I don't think this is an Amare issue at all. They were having these problems before Amare played in his first game.
