a little off topic, and some of you guys might hate me for this, but if amare keeps improving, he'll be the feel good story of the year. props to him for making it back after his surgeries on both knees.
The effectiveness & ease of getting a 3pt shot in a game that's out of reach may be questioned. However hitting a 3pt shot in game conditions is still the same no matter what.
i agree with the other posters questioning Rafer's ability/willingness to pass to a posted up Yao. Several times during an incredible third quarter for Yao (13 pts?), Rafer had him posting up on the low right block and dribbled in for a poor finish at the rim, missing all three attempts. Steve Nash made a three and a jumper, two foul shots for someone else and all momentum gone. I am not a Rafe hater, and it actually caught me by surprise, how mad I was at him during that stretch of the game. TMAC, just stunk last night. His shot was awful. Flat, ugly, Clank. The fact that we still COULD have won that game is amazing. Either we are better than we think, or Phoenix is not as good as we believe.
