this game is hilarious. I think I just saw Diaw not only back Amare down for a layup, but then follow his own miss with an offensive board and then get fouled by Amare to get to the line.

I mean, if Amare's knees aren't the problem, he's just going flat out Tornto-Vince on us. How pathetic.

again, I never thought I'd say this, but: THANK GOD FOR THE CARDINALS!

SUPER RED BEARD FOR THE SUPER RED BIRDS IN THE SUPER BOWL!!!!!!!!!!

I think Nash has a better chance being traded than Amare.

But I think Porter has an even better chance of getting fired before Nash or anyone is traded.

Pin this game on Amare, Amare haters. Too bad we were still down 18 before he just commited 3 turnovers.

Amare and everyone on this team has quit on Porter. Its pretty obvious that Porters strategy of getting Shaq his while everyone else struggles isnt gonna work.

This is unreal. How many times is Amare going to get the ball slapped out of his hands. AGAIN, he is letting average defenders school him.

Also...memo to Nash......stop turning the ball over without any pressure on the ball. He had two horrible turnovers on easy passes in the 1st half.

Is everyone blaming Amare again? Or is it just a moment thing? Because I see him giving effort and a lot of it, disregard some unfortunate turnovers and you'll see he's hustling more than in the past.

We should have traded Amare and turn Diaw into a fulltime starting PF. Damn.

Sit Amare for the second half! His play is making me sick!

Oh my. Down 22 at the half to the Bobcats. :rolleyes: Suns 37-59 after the 2nd quarter.

Suns shooting 38% with 3/7 3 pointers, Bobcats 51% with 5/11 3 pointers.

Suns have committed 14 turnovers (Nash with 4, Amare with 5), Bobcats 6.

Suns and Bobcats tied at 7 offensive rebounds.

Suns have hit 8/12 free throws, Bobcats have hit 8/10 free throws.

Suns 5 points off turnovers, Bobcats 24.

Suns 2 fast break points, Bobcats 12.

Just ugh. Let the starters sit out the 2nd half and have the deep bench guys play the 2nd half.

We fail to score 40 points in the first half for the second time in three games. Our defense is as bad as usual. Our offense is as bad as it has been since Marbury days. This is truly sad.

agreed on the getting shaq the ball thing. Porter is a moron. That being said, it's time to get what we can for Nash because he is just gonna get worse from here on out. Father Time was running after him last season, but now he's caught up. Sell off, realize the season is over, actually get a good draft pick (because there ain't gonna be one next year when we're even worse) and call it a day on the Nash era.

NOBODY better say anything about Amare struggles being on Shaq after that half. Amare had the ball at least 5 times down the paint by himself.....and completely embarrassed himself. More of the same from Amare.

question to the Suns/Cards dual fans - does anything the Suns do actually effect you negatively right now, or am I the only one so high on life because the Cards are going to the Super Bowl that I can watch the Suns and just snicker at this point?

OMG did he really? Too bad his head along with everyone elses isnt in the game. What we are seeing is a team that has quit on a coach and doing things that reflect that.

Brian may be dumb, be he's not stupid... although, I guess if he pulled off the O'Neal for Marion deal, getting Nash would pretty much make the Raptors a kind of older-watered down version of the Suns he tried to put together.

It's just a weird juxtaposition. I bought one of those crying Cards shirts a couple years ago. I happened to get one that said 'Go Suns.'. Well, that shirt can go in the trash heap now - it has lost all its funniness....

damn there's a lot of nerd-statistical ****** on here who follow a ****ing stat sheet to the heart. Amare's body language is much better than before and I don't think he's stinking it up besides a couple of TO that could've been avoided. And by couple i mean 2 that I saw that were more stupid than the other 3.

NASH ANYONE? NO IT'S ALL AMARE. TRADE EM!!!!1 GO CARDS!!111

Cheese, I haven't even gotten into the NBA yet because of the Cards. I have tried to watch some of the last 3 games and everyone knows how they've gone. I am trying to reserve judgment on the team as I know they will go through low spots during the course of the season, but they certainly haven't looked good.
