I was specifically responded to people saying Amare was the sole reason we lost which is total and complete B.S.

I challenge you to look up the word "specifically" and then support your claim above. You CANNOT do it. Many of us commented on his poor play but you will not find "people" saying he was the "sole reason we lost" in this thread. IT CAN'T BE DONE, because it didn't happen.

The Suns had a crappy game and almost won. The Lakers had a grea game and almost lost.

The Suns should be able to play better so......

The AMare defenders won't quit lol. I have given up. If you want to sit there and defend a 6 foot 10 guy and his 4 rebounds go ahead. I'm done.

And the other guys didn't perform, so its okay that Amare didn't get his rebounds.

LOL

Regardless of how the other guys performed, 4 rebounds by our superstar PF is unacceptable. How you can think that's ok, I have no idea.

I like Amare, but him getting 2 more rebounds likely would have changed the outcome of the game. Is it such a big request to get at least 6 rebounds in a game??? I know you love the guy, but come on.

Haha I was being sarcastic. I agree with you. At least 6-8 rebounds and it wouldn't be completely pathetic. 4 is hilarious. I think if I played 30 minutes and I was 6-10 I can accidentally get 4.

I am not going to go through 13 pages on this thread and 8 on the other. I seriously doubt you did. Even if people didn't use the "specific" term "Amare's fault" they were saying it loud and clear.

Don't play stupid.

I am not going to go through 16 pages of this thread and I seriously doubt you did. Also, why would I look up the word "specifically" when I used it? Doesn't mean someone else did. You do realize there are tons of ways to say that without using "specific" words.

There were plenty of inferences to it being Amare's fault. Don't play stupid.

I had some free time. I went through every post and didn't find anyone stating "Amare was the sole reason" let alone "people". Yet, you assert you were "specifically" responding to just such a claim. Call me stupid all you want but I have my facts straight. Yes, there were plenty of "inferences" or more accurately suggestions that it was Amare's fault. And many of us focused on his short-comings but that is a horse of a different color.

No it's the same horse. You are just trying to throw a bucket of paint over it. Anybody can read between these:

Also, notice that most people that have been responding are not denying they think it's Amare's fault? Why is that exactly?

I would suspect it's because some of them, perhaps most of them believe the loss was primarily due to Amare. However, you twisted those comments into "Amare was the sole reason" and you made your point clear by saying it was "specifically" because of such.

The thread should have the subtitle:

Do we have anything to complain about Amare in any loss? If so, look no further, we can't win with this guy!

I bet you find majority of Suns fans on this board sharing this attitude, which I consider sad.

For some reason I can't find the word "primarily" in every post either. But I digress..you must speak for everyone blaming Amare right now.

Is it as sad as 4 rebounds? Doubt it :barf:

That big mouth loser needs to shut his ass and play ball. I like how he is getting owned by Odom who is apparently "lucky" and still outrebounding him. Props to Odom for just going out there and doing business. I friggin hate Amare, I can't wait to see him hit the road and I can take losing for some time but I don't want a max player with no effort in purple and orange and disrespecting my team, taking up any space for real moves to win because I am damn sure once Nash is gone , Amare will roam around the perimeter like a WNBA reject.

Could Amare have played better than he did in that game? Yes, he could.

Did we lose that game? Yes, we lost.

So, it's on Amare!

OK, you win.

This why i consider your Amare posts as a joke. As a fan it is one thing to call out a player but it is another to say you hate him. It clearly shows you are not objective in your rantings. Once it was Lopez, then It was Dragic, down the line; JRich - trade him and now Amare.
Amare sucked balls last game, no question and i understand fans frustration when he plays like that and yet demands the max. You on the other hand seem to hope, no, root for him to fail or suck just so you can continue bashing him.
The only thing sadder than Amare's 4 rebounds is your hate, if you hate the players so much maybe you should consider switching teams; Knicks maybe?

seems like he's playing "me against the world"... and losing.

I just have to remind myself of one of my favorite movie quotes "Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend". Okay, one of those obscure musical acts might have used it in a song too.

Yes, I am hell bent on turning the world against you....:doi:.
I also wasn't aware you viewed this as a contest. It's kind of hard to lose when only one person is playing. Enjoy playing with yourself.

A time when people defended Amare even with his miscues. Now we have the "Amare is done" thread.
