One positive we can all take from tonights clippers game.

[ebow]

After watching last night's game, I really do think Amare has officially regained his explosiveness and mobility that he had before
microfracture surgery. He is looking like a man possessed. Has anyone else noticed this?

it took you this long??? Amare is only #1 among qualified players for effiency in the NBA per 48 this season...http://www.nba.com/statistics/playe...d=Y&yearsExp=-1&sortOrder=7&splitDD=All Teams

Feeeeeed Amare!

That's been my chant for awhile. I'll even force my buddies who don't follow the suns to watch a suns game and have them focus on Amare only.

They all come up with the conclusion:
"Uh, why dont they just go to him every time?"

And they lost this game in the 3rd quarter when Nash was trying hard to get something else going besides going to Amare, and failed. We came back from the hole by going back to Amare again but couldn't finish.

Yep

" I'm playing out of position, so every night is going to be someone bigger and taller." -- Amare Stoudemire.

Every game the same old crap. C'mon, Amare. Sit down with Steve Kerr and tell him you're tired of having to alibi to the Press for management's ineptitude.

Too bad he can't use some of that "explosiveness and mobility" to dominate on defense.

Sounds like Amare's the only one who's outsized playing defense. Since that isn't considered an issue when evaluating the performance of others, then it shouldn't work for him either.

I have always been an fan of Amare, but it wasn't until the last few games that I noticed his old explosion and renewed mobility to the basket. Amare has been my favorite player in the league, since his rookie season. It's nice to see the old pick and roll from the 2004-2005 season. Amare seems to be one of the few true men, in a league filled with grown up boys. Amare rarely whines and complains about calls (Manu,Cassell,The Spurs in general), and usually takes responsibility for his actions.

You have to be kidding. Amare whines all the damn time. Granted, Amare gets fouled all the time, but he complains more than anyone else on the Suns, and it is not even close. How many times have we seen Amare yell at the refs and throw his hands up in disgust at a non-call. At least a few times a game.

Yeeeeaah, I'm going to have to, disagree with you there.

Fair enough. We can disagree no problem.

Welcome to ASFN btw. Stick around and post more often.

Nash, on the other hand, looked out-of-sorts. Was he still feeling ill? Looking at his body language, he had his hands on his hips a lot, and in the 4th qtr was bent over gasping for air.

[Bufalay]

NO!!! Nash and Dantoni complain just as much as Duncan and the rest of the league's biggest whiners.

 

[Mainstreet]

IMO, there is nothing positive to take from the game. The Suns can still not play defense or rebound. If the Suns do not get some help at the PG position or upfront defensively, then a Championship is a fantasy. A backup PG could at least help the offense keep functioning while Nash sits. This would allow the Suns offense to keep flowing when he is out. A defensive big could at least grab some rebounds and prevent the opposing teams layup drills. The Suns need both but I would settle for one. I'm not sure if a backup PG might not help the most in maintaining continuity. The Suns offense and defense seem linked.

 

[WuRaider]

We lost the game because Nash dominated the ball and didn't feed the beast.

Raja can talk to the refs articulately when discussing a call. Amare does none of that.

I recently moved to Tucson, so I watch the games on NBA league Pass. Why does NBA LP rarely choose to use the MY 45 broadcast. I miss Al Macoy's voice! Dammit

 

[krispydude]

amare does look pretty close to himself pre-injury. he played well last night on offense but did miss quite a few close shots. i had to do a double take to make sure it wasn't marion.

and ya amare does throws his hands up and yells at the ref after EVERY missed shot he has. he does let it go quickly though and has definitely cut down on the technicals compared to last year.

The look of Steve Nash in this clip is priceless.

I have to admit that Amare looks to have more spring in his hops lately on the court.

Yeah, I think he's finally added those 3 extra inches to his vertical leap.
