The "C" Word

Ok, we've heard whispers of this all year. Who's the locker room cancer?

Or is it just the bad blood between Amare and Marion?

Where is Amare?

You know this is going to have more to do with moves than the tax or the SUns may spin it that way.

Heh, I was trying to guess what the C-word was before reading your post. I came up with Center.

I came up with Colangelo being the C-word topic.

More likely Amare vs Bell in my opinion than Marion vs Amare.

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.

I've never heard Amare vs Bell. If that's the problem Bell is not irreplaceable.

I think its Amare and Marion. I saw them interviewed after together after a game recently and it really seemed like they don't like each other. I'm sure it will come out in the next few days.

They don't need to like each other for us to win. In the later part of the regular season, both players started to actively look out for each other in the paint and both mastered some quite nice assists to each other, most noticeably those from Amare to Marion. Yet, Bell still never passes it to Amare. I think at its root it's Bell's proletarian class conscience that makes him resent Amare's cocky attitude of a rich man both in talent and in status. It's the Bowen's, Raja's of the world against the Kobe's, Amare's, Iverson' of the world. Just my guess.

I came up with "center" as well when I saw the title....such is being a Suns fan I suppose.

Commitment??

i was thinking a female body part, but that's pretty much because it's the same word I've been using to describe Herr Stern since Tuesday.

coyoteshockeyfan · May 20th, 2007, 10:46 AM

I was thinking "championship"

Dude, it was a J-word. I'm not thick.

Cobe?

Interesting, after reading the link devilalum posted makes you wonder about Amare's maturity even more. He couldn't even make the last meeting to say good bye?

"Stoudemire, the Suns' leading scorer, said nearly the same thing after Friday's loss. It was all about getting better, coming together, working together, building a championship team. The Suns center didn't elaborate Saturday, because he never showed at US Airways Center, an unexcused absence as the team convened a final time."

Whatever the chemistry problems are it surely includes Amare.
I wonder if he is getting Kobe syndrome, He keeps hearing how Nash makes his game better and easier and resents it.
