I was thinking "chemistry"

Guys, this is not even a secret anymore. Stoudemire is a head case, but not a definitively evil head case. He's just ... very moody. I would not at all be surprised to hear Stoudemire and his agent discuss trying to force a trade, but he'll come around when he hears the places he could end up.

Okay trade Stoudemire for Garnett.

Im for it, if he's that much of a problem.

But really it's Marion I don't like. He's paranoid and thinks nobody likes him. Im sick of it. Im sure the Suns are. Constantly worrying about how this will make Shawn feel. Ironically, in his quest to make people appreciate his game (which I do) he made us dislike his ego.

I expect him to be dealt.

This is supposed to be Amare's team, Steve Nash was signed to build this team around Amare. Raja Bell doesn't seem to understand that he opens his mouth a little much for a role player and belittles Amare and the team in the public, I don't think Amare likes Bell at all.

where are you getting this from?

Emotions can start flying in all sorts of directions, particularly after a shocking loss that has yet to sink into the players.

Give it some time and all of it will pass. Next year, they will return stronger than ever.

As for all this talk about Raja, if Amare is peeved at Bell it has more to do Raja letting the air out of Amare's complaint that the Spurs are a dirty team. Raja was the one who told the media--and, indirectly, Amare--that the teams needs to focus on playing and not stirring up talking points.

Raja may have had a point, but even if he was right, I would have kept my comment to myself. Afterall, he himself did quite a bit of venting in last years's series against the Lakers.

That's the first thing that came to my mind.

The last time I addressed my Girlfriend using the "c-word" I had to go see a dentist.

If you ever want a championship in this town he is. You can replace Bell and alot of what he does is overlooked, but don't say it won't affect this team. There's alot of players that respect the type of effort and attitude Bell brings, and from what I saw he was one of the few secondary players hitting shots in that series.

Stoudemire is going to get his points and rebounds, but he really doesn't stop the better players either. He should recognise what his teammates bring to the table and work on his game (D), so it's better all around.

Seems like the problem is that all these egos are having a hard time recognizing anything.

I never heard anything about the locker room being divided last year. Of course being the underdog usually promotes that "us against the world" mentallity.
