the spurs dont need to counter moves made by the suns in order to just keep up with the spurs. the spurs dont really need to add anything right now, but they are... its pretty sweet.
The difference between Dallas and Phoenix is Phoenix has an inside game in Amare. Their defense and rebounding was bad last year but if they improve their defense a little and their rebounding alot that might be enough to upset the spurs. Have any ideas on how the spurs can counter the suns moves?

What moves do the Spurs have to counter? The only move the Suns have made is trading away a perimeter threat for a PF that can't do the one thing he is being brought in to do.
What was that? Hitting mid range shots and rebounding? 2 out of 3 ain't bad.
Just because someone is objective (negative from you point of view?) doesn't mean they have to be positive.
if he gets 10 or 11 shots a game, and can co-exsist with amare, hes going to be a good addition. but he's a power forward that hated playing center and was basically made the focus of the offense late in the season by his former team. he wont get a ton of touches in phoenix, and he's not a defensive stopper.
Nash gets everyone involved.
He will keep Amare out of foul trouble which is key. I agree he is not a defensive stopper.
lets not forget that Amare may still stay at center on either end of the court. KT might be the PF.
If having KT at the 4 means moving Marion to the Perimeter that is going to hurt the Team rebounding. I don't see how KT is going to get open for a lot of those open mid range shots, the Spurs weren't exactly doubling off any Suns this past season. They let Amare get his, and they'll do the same next year.
marion looked pretty involved in the WCF.
Calling Duncan soft and a choker, wanting horry to go to miami and wanting bowen to be traded for mike james is not being objective. Everything he says about spurs he's being negative. Really I wouldn't care if he was a fan of a different team saying all this because it would make more sense. No spurs fan, homer or not, would say all those things plus say that spurs beat detroit "because you had horry".
The suns offense will be the same but they will not give up 110 points because of their big improvement in defensive rebounding because Kurt Thomas averages over 10 rebounds.
how can it be the same w/o the same offensive componants
yup. i thought marion was a killer (especially on the offensive boards) this is going to pull him away a little from that too. he'll have to get back on defense and not crash the boards as much.
Yeah Bruce Bowen owned him. How about Joe Johnson when healthy? Bruce Bowen will have to guard him now since he is a big threat.
So you think Q. Richardson was a big part of that offense? I was thinking how good Phoenix would be if they replace Richardson with a reliable shooter. That would be scary.
The offense WON'T be the same. The scariest part of their fast break was jj and q stopping behind the 3 point line and popping the wide open trey's nash amare and marion created. Instead of teams having to account for 2 players behind the 3 point line, they have to worry about one. That is going to make a difference. MAYBE, KT will help on the boards and MAYBE he hits a few midrange jumpers a game, but he will not average anywhere near the 14 pts a game Q averaged.
i like joe johnson... but they switch bruce bowen around alot. if he got hot, they'd probably put him on him. joe johnson isnt why the suns lost that series.
Why is this even a topic?
Wgaf about the Suns?
The world saw the gameplan to destroy them.
The rest of the NBA will catch on and they will be in the middle to the bottom of the pack.
Lock this motha.
You are underestimating the half court offense of Phoenix which couldn't be much better with Kurt Thomas. He shoots 47% to Q.'s 39%. Nash will still have room to do the pick and roll with Stoudemire without Hunter clogging up the middle.
theres nothing else going on. and this dude is rattling off gems like. nash involves everyone! (its kinda cool)
i liked the other thread better... about duncan needing a 3pt shot to be better than kg! but this one is pretty cool.
I can't wait til the season starts to prove my point.
if duncan starts lofting up halfcourt shots... you owe me money.
btw amare was 3-16 behind the 3pt line.
