    Amare Ought to be Embarassed

    As pointed out by my comments above, there is this misperception that Amare alonde decides whether he plays this well and that he could have it anytime he wanted. So if he plays like this, it's nothing to talk about and he still doesn't deserve a max as he only did so for such a max and would...

    Channing Frye

    'one more chance' as the middle way! ;) It's not like he can't play. It's we shouldn't rely on him too much and give him fixed amount of playing time. Let him play some minutes. If his shot is falling and he has confidence, give him more minutes. Otherwise, yank him. He can be helpful. But he's...

    Amare Ought to be Embarassed

    That's such a misperception! It's easy for a player to lose focus for some reason. Game 1, the team was trying too hard to get Frye going whose only made 3pt was actually on a pass under basket by Amare. Game 2 was the lucky comment and probably his mother's arrest. In game 3, Rolo played great...

    Sources: Nowitzki to opt out of contract

    If Amare is gone, Dirk would certainly be huge. But how is it doable under the cap? We need at least get rid LB, hoping Frye opts out and talk Hill into opting out. However, if we could get Dirk on a discount like 12 -14mil per and convince JO to come over for 3-5mil per, while having Hill bak...

    Playoffs 2010: Western Conf Finals, Game 3 – Lakers At Suns Game Thread

    Common, Amare was much more concentrated on both ends of the court this game compared to the first two. His drives were more decisive with smart moves like double clutches. On defense I saw only one backdoor allyoop dunk by Odom that was due to his bad positioning. So, something changed between...

    Playoffs 2010: Western Conf Finals, Game 3 – Lakers At Suns Game Thread

    We are our own obstacle at times. - We set up Frye to fail and stick to playing him when he have no confidence, which hurt the team. - we too often let other teams supporting players go hot on us - we have not optimized our offensive game plan yet which includes feeding Frye Going forward we...

    Amare Ought to be Embarassed

    Bump! Amare should apologize that he didn't score 80 pts.

    Chad Ford reports Amare's return to Suns unlikely

    If Amare walks, breaking it up to rebuild is the most sensible way to go. Given JRich's performance in the playoffs, he coul actually now be a great trading set instead of just an expiring. I'd have no problem if Suns could keep him for 8-9mil a year long term with an extension in the summer...

    The Decline and Fall of Amare

    I see a bunch of schizophrenic fellow Suns fans here. Without Amare stepping up after ASB and playing consistently, we might not even have made it to the POs. And I don't believe we'd have beaten Blazers or Spurs with David Lee in place of Amare. Somehow, there must be some reason that...

    Amare Ought to be Embarassed

    Or what Sloan did to Stockton. Nash is the best pure shooter I've ever seen. But he still needs to practice those running and catching and shooting. That'd immense enhance his effectiveness, and the team's offensive variety. As a long time Nash admirer and critic, I'd say he did rather well...

    Amare Ought to be Embarassed

    So far in this series, we have been the victims of mind games and unwise controversies. Frye wanted to show Artest and Nash wanted to show Jackson that they were wrong, we had Nash overdribble and Frye bricking on contested 3s. Then, Amare with the stupid 'lucky' comments, and Gasol schooled him...

    Amare and Coach

    Amare's general concentration is lacking a bit. On several occasion in both games, he has been too slow and undecisive after rotating out. And somehow the guy behind him couldn't do a better job of communication with him so that both often went to cover the same player leaving another one open...

    Playoffs 2010: Western Conf Finals, Game 2 – Suns At Lakers Game Thread

    Amare's lack of concentration cost us the game. His defense on Gasol was atrocious as well as his positioning/rotation. And somehow Dragic didn't know how to play with Amare to start the 4th, which is more on the coach though. Hill and JRich were superb, as Dudley. Frye is frightened little girl...

    The Decline and Fall of Amare

    I don't know how to take you serious when you started with Malone having a post-up game while he only had a face-up game. As to 5 POINTS below Malone, have you ever heard of someone named Stockton or Sloan? They were completely different from Nash and D'Antoni. Stockton deferred to Malone his...

    Playoffs 2010: Western Conf Finals, Game 1 – Suns At Lakers Game Thread

    I believe most of the calls were from the same referee. And no call on Kobe traveling after stumbling on his own or jump ball with Gasol called foul on the Suns. That were all momentum changers. For casual bystanders, they'd just point out Suns shooting more FTs, as those bluntant bad calls...

    The Decline and Fall of Amare

    Malone had a face-up game, not a post-up game. Barkley had a post-up game. Sorry dude. Amare is a better offensive version of Malone barring further injuries.:D

    Playoffs 2010: Western Conf Finals, Game 1 – Suns At Lakers Game Thread

    NO! Aside from one pass by Amare out of paint, Frye never was open enough for his shots. He rushed and we, Nash, made him rush with defending charging in. When you established a groove and confident, you could hit all the tough shots, just like the Lakers did all night long. But Frye was set...

    Lopez in the Starting Line up

    Lopez on offense is exactly what we envisioned, of great help. On defense, he seems a little slow and communication with teammates not as well. In one scene, Gasol went to screen for Odom on top of key. Best would have been switching with Amare, which is size-wise no problem. Not happened. The...

    Playoffs 2010: Western Conf Finals, Game 1 – Suns At Lakers Game Thread

    As I said, resting Nash is the most important but it starts with stopping him from overdribbling while making him available for jumpers, either after a simple p&r or running himself open via screens like JRich likes to get open with. Establishing the JRich and Nash as the main shooter, next to...

    Playoffs 2010: Western Conf Finals, Game 1 – Suns At Lakers Game Thread

    From the outcome, the Lakers did get on our mind with their pre-series mind games. Artest making Frye responding to 'he'd know my name by the end' or PJ saying Nash carryin the ball, guess what, our team seemed to want to prove them wrong too much so that Nash overdribbled as he hasn't done...

    Playoffs 2010: Western Conf Finals, Game 1 – Suns At Lakers Game Thread

    We destroyed ourselves with our game plan! 1. The priority of getting Frye going is all wrong. Nash force-fed him in the 1st q. for 3 straight contested bricks. He hit his only 3pt when wide open on an Amare pass. We are not a team that has to live or die with Frye's 3s, and we shouldn't force...

    Suns in five...

    I second that. Magics got exposed in game 1 of ECF. In some sense, Celtics and Suns are alike. Both have a lot of talent on the roster that can come through in big games when needed. The advantage for Suns would be Amare-Nash generated offensive power, given very good defense and overall...

    Eastern Finals: Boston vs Orlando

    Actually, we don't rely on 3s as much as we force them to give us 3s by constant threat in the paint via Amare-Nash that cause collapses. Here is a nice vid that demonstrates it: http://www.phxsuns.net/showthread.php?2149-What-s-the-key-to-beating-the-Lakers&p=131874&viewfull=1#post131874 We...

    Eastern Finals: Boston vs Orlando

    Magics are no match to the Celtics as I predicted. It's gonna be a Suns-Celtics finals series. And Suns will win for the reason that Amare is the best offensive bigman none of the other remaining teams could really neutralize. Perkins, KG, Gasol, Bynum, Odom, none of them can defend Amare truly...

    Despite coach's modesty, Suns are Gentry's team - East Valley Tribune

    Wow, I like Gentry more and more. He has improved his adjustment method in game and betweeen game, the only concern I had going into the playoffs. The biggest asset he instilled in this team is the confidence. After the 3rd or 4th game vs. Portland, we no more have any sign of panick anytime. If...
