Finally, Duhmare back on the bench where he should have been this whole time. Just sub Dudley for Barnes too.

I know the players on the Suns are not good defenders(to say the least) but I have to wonder what kind of D system is Porter trying to run that results in a completely wide open player 40% of the time.

Amare has been struggling with his offense 2nite but the refs have screwed him all night. Not just Amare either, every questionable call has went to the Warriors.

Oh well. This is what happens when we force feed Shaq. His numbers look great but the rest of the team struggles. If we are gonna do this then we need to get other pieces. Keep in mind that Shaq will not stay healthy if we do this consistently.

Porter gave up with 7 min remaining against the Warriors. Why is he still coaching?

I have never seen a "leader" look so bewildered. How can that inspire any confidence?

This team "force feeds" Shaq because he has been our most consistent offensive player. Explain why when we made the run their in the 3rd, it was Shaq in, then Shaq leaves Amare comes in & GS put us away.

It would be hard to be an announcer right now and have to say things that are semi optimistic

Tell me why Amare had the highest +/- rating against the Kings? Hell the other night Gasol went like 2-14 and he had the highest +/- rating. Doesnt always tell the whole story. Shaq has been our most consistant offensive player because teams let him go 1 on 1 and cover everyone else and because we constantly force feed him. Its why we turn over the ball on most nights and a lot of the times it leads to face breaks for the other team.

Like I said before, we need to decide if we are going to cater to Shaq like we've been doing, or switch back to a system that hurts Shaqs stats but helps everyone else.
