One positive we can all take from tonights clippers game.


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?

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.

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.

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.

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