amare is not a superstar this season. and he's as dumb as a bag of rocks as far as bball intelligence is concerned.
Amare is the smartest player on our team. Terry Porter cant speak english. Shaq doesnt have a single brain cell. Nash breaks down every 4th quarter.


GOOD JOB SHAQ YOU MENTAL MIDGET MISSING THE DUNK.

NOW HE TRAVELS. GET SHAQ OUT. TRADE HIM!!!!!

It's honestly amazing to me that we have one guy (Shaq) who can basically body bump anyone off of their spot of established position with impunity, and another guy (Amare) who already has position, and somehow manages to pick up an offensive foul from established position with a guy crawling all over his back.

Stupid fourth foul though. Why would you get up in Josh Smith's face from 22 feet out? Know your personnel, Smith can take jumpers all night long, no reason to play him that close.

Great post. Agree with both parts.

Suns minus Amare looks so much better on D.

You're probably 50% right and 50% completely wrong. He has no defensive IQ, but his passing and decision making on offense has been almost perfect all season long, aside from forcing the issue once in a while but that's mostly done in an attempt to get to the line and I don't have a problem with it.

All offense and no defense, gee, that doesn't sound like anyone else on our team does it? Like every single one of our main guys except Hill and Barnes? Welcome to what this team's problem has always been. Maybe one good defensive guy and a bunch of matadors since 2003.

Bad defense by Lou. We need to trade him.

It doesn't matter that with Amundson in this team gives up 108 points per 48 minutes (http://www.82games.com/0809/08PHO11.HTM), and with Stoudemire in they give up 102 (http://www.82games.com/0809/08PHO13.HTM), despite the fact that the majority of Lou's minutes come against scrubtown 101 players - Amare needs to be traded because he's soft and we'd be better on defense with an old puerto rican woman in there.

Makes sense that this team would start to suck when Amare goes to the bench. This team is a lottery team in the East without Amare.
