After Game 2 against LA (quoted in Bob Baum's write-up):
“I understand. That’s fine, that’s fine,” Stoudemire said. “Last year, this same team with Shaq, we didn’t make the playoffs. You get rid of Shaq and add me and we’re in the Western Conference finals. That alone should tell you what I...
I watched the game but did not read the game thread until this morning, where I saw the following gems:
"Barbosa is such a stupid player"
That would be Barbosa, who played 8 minutes less than Amare and scored 21, only 1 point less than Amare's 22.
"Nash's natural instinct paired with lack of...
No, what we're saying (or at least what I'm saying) is that Nash couldn't just decide to voluntarily hand the team to Amare. "Whose team it is," a term that basically refers to leadership, boils down to individual perception and player attitude. Who do the players look up to? Where do they...
Putting aside our opinions regarding production, improvement, leadership, personality, and franchise player-ship (I invented that one), the only real way to determine "whose team it is" would be to ask the players themselves.

(Quote) As Stoudemire later told Yahoo Sports, "I'm getting more expensive by the game."
Aren't you glad nobody started thinking that way when the Suns had a surprisingly great season in 2005-06? It's hard to see why it's necessary to blame success of the team on an absent player.....ANY absent player.
I've read your post several times and I'm still not sure if that last question was meant to be serious. One never knows .............
However: No, we (the Suns) didn't.
They've played 60 games and lost 23.
Of 14 games where Nash had 6 or more TOs:
They lost 5 -- (12/2, 12/8, 1/2, 1/8 and...
Of course I understand your point, it would be rather difficult not to understand it.
Yes, I watch the games but in case you haven't noticed, not many on this board even bother to "refute" your posts which often end with "the rest is history" or "simple as that," which implies there is no other...
Too funny! Your posts remind me of the Kevin Bacon game, only you've converted it to "The Six Degrees of Steve Nash." No matter what the topic, no matter what the criticism--or which other player(s) it may involve, no matter what the comment or how far removed it is from relating to Nash, you...
Yep, completely missed 'em! Regardless--no matter which year he's talking about, that comment coming from a Suns fan still qualifies for WPOTY. Or maybe SPOTY.
Sounds simple enough, but it will take a lot more than that to win games. It's happened many times before and Suns are just like every other team in that respect. There are plenty of games where Amare (or any other supershooter--including Kobe) scored really big and the team lost. The...
