    Ok, I'm jumping the bandwagon. I officially hate Amare too

    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...

    Suns At Bucks Game Thread

    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...

    None of the usual comments on TOs and rebounding? :)

    Pay The Man

    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...

    Pay The Man

    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.

    Amare

    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.

    Hey, thank you! Even got the cast on the right (left) leg! That made me laugh :D

    Suns At Thunder Game Thread

    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...

    Suns finish in the top 4 seeding.

    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...

    Suns finish in the top 4 seeding.

    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...

    lol @ this bulls fan

    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.

    Suns @ Grizzles Game Thread

    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...

    Suns @ Bobcats: The Road to Gentry's End

    Oh, I see. You're saying now that it's possible for the player with the worst +/- to have actually played a good game? ......... and that it's unfair to blame the player with the worst +/- for a loss because the stat line doesn't always tell the true story? I agree 100%. It's good to see...

    Gambo thinks the Suns should trade Amare

    Anyone got a shovel? Or better yet, a backhoe?

    Bosh VS. Amare

    Bless you for not quoting. The Amare=Malone comparison appears to be the latest fixation. Pretty funny.

    Reasons why this Suns team is better than last year's team

    "The world would have heard about it if Shaq was displeased." And they did. He came into Phoenix saying all the right things and everything was upbeat for a while, probably including the locker room chemistry. He played the big ol' lovable clown role to the hilt, and for some reason guys...

    A title is your measuring stick. A title is my ultimate goal, that goes without saying, but a goal and a measuring stick are not the same. Realizing that only one of the 30 teams in the league will win the championship, my "measuring stick" is how well my team performs in pursuit of that...

    Suns at Magic Game Thread

    "I didn't say Nash's horrible defense nullifies his offensive statistical accomplishments at the end of the day." ....no, you said.... "He hurts us on defense as much as he helps us on offense." Your original statement was even more arguable because it didn't limit Nash's "offensive...

    Yikes

    That's sure not my measuring stick! Watching a "horrible" team for 14 years would be 14 long seasons of total boredom and frustration, an incredible waste of time, and would probably make me lose my love for the sport--why bother with something that leaves you with no hope of success? A...

    shawn marion looked like he had a phoenix jersey on

    We could also mention for those who seem to think it's all that important, his +/- was +37 ... on the road ... against the Lakers (as opposed to that "-17 at home against the Wizards" LOL) And I hardly ever LOL, usually I just :)
