Exactly. I dunno about him hes not really developing he could be a big low post threat with low post moves but just dunks and occassional jump shots here and there but not automatic.Not like Uhmare who is fed buckets by Nash.
Suns won, but Baron Davis is a ing beast. He couldn't carry his piss poor teammates tonight, but the guy is really an amazing player. Creates for himself, creates for others. Not like Uhmare who is fed buckets by Nash.
Suns did well tho...without Snaq.

well its not really fair to compare a pg with a forward, but in general, Davis is just an all-around beast, much more so than Uhmare's chest pumps after easy dunks.
Woohoo! 3-game winning streak: Solid win over the defending champs, a blowout over the lowly Grizzlies, and a great game against the blazing fast Warriors.
Dare I say that this team is starting to click?
Yeah, Baron Davis is one of my favorite players in the NBA...he does it all...you gotta respect his game...
Yeah...PHX seemed to do better without Snaq in there...Suns did well tho...without Snaq.
His jump shot is as automatic as Boozer's, and with an even sweeter form. Anyone who thinks Amare is all dunks can shut the up. Most of his points were created off the dribble tonight, and he's an 80% FT shooter.
You're all a bunch of haters.
Yeah, you guys are looking good...see you all in the playoffs...I hope...![]()
Suns might find a formula for playing small and big now.
But all playoff contenders have to protect home court most of the time.
If it sticks the way it is, then see you first round.
I do not want to meet the Warriors first round.
Riiiiiight.His jump shot is as automatic as Boozer's, and with an even sweeter form. Anyone who thinks Amare is all dunks can shut the up. Most of his points were created off the dribble tonight, and he's an 80% FT shooter.

Stoudemire is a badass.
3 cupcakes then this tough stretch for Phx:
Sat, Mar 22 Houston
Mon, Mar 24 @ Detroit
Wed, Mar 26 @ Boston
then 2 semi-easy games and another tough stretch:
Mon, Mar 31 Denver
Tue, Apr 1 @ Denver
Sun, Apr 6 Dallas
There's something about the way Phoenix wins that is thoroughly un-convincing.
It's just a matter of do their opponents miss their shots or not. GSW had a ton of good looks at the basket that they usually make.
That explains why Phoenix is only 43-22. Unconvincing wins.
That zone that PHX threw at GSW completely took them out of their element. You force GSW to play a halfcourt game and your chances of winning go up exponentially.
Actually, Shaq had a +9 tonight and we won by 8. We did well both with and without him.
Only 43-22? You mean as in only 1 1/2 games worse than San Antonio?
Golden State and other teams just make their shots against the Spurs. Fluke wins. No surprises there.
It really does amaze me that the Suns are 2 1/2 games out of first place in the Pacific Division and (as of now) the West, but a loss tonight would have tied them with Golden State in the L column.
But there will be probably 3 teams in the East in the playoffs with losing records.
Regardless, huge win for the Suns and it's good to see the swagger and energy back in the arena.
14 minutes with Shaq: +9
34 minutes without Shaq: -1
But he doesn't make any difference against the Warriors.I know the plus/minus stat is ineffective in short windows, but why are certain Spurs fans saying he was useless against the Warriors? He played so little because he was in foul trouble, not because the Warriors ran him out of the building.
Great game. I enjoyed every second.
I still don't get it why the NBA doesn't market these kind of games more, but they market LeBron and Wade like crazy.
I am not a casual fan, but if I were I wouldn't think watching ty teams with one guy that takes contested shot after contested shot would be that much fun.
Almost ever game in the West is soooo much more pleasing, casual fan or purist. Even the Spurs, for all their rep, can be amazing at times to watch with Ginobili and Parker.
They reall have to change how they market the game I think. They are still stuck with the Bird, Magic, Jordan template. They forget that those guys also played in historically good teams.
The minus was even worse before the Suns went on that run in the 3rd after Shaq got his 5th foul.
Yeah, this bitter idiot probably posts on this message board:

First line of the article.
Followed by a long brain dump... funnyI’ll try to make this quick
I've read articles from this guy 3 times... all of them bash the Suns, Shaq, Amare or a combination of the 3.
He even bashed Marion's defense on Baron earlier this year.
