Although I got stoned in my two threads today, it is actually a happy day for me. Suns of B lost!!! That's all it matters.
And the Suns got pounded, nice job Amare. Hey if Amare winning ROY leads to the Suns collapsing and the Rockets making the playoffs I'm all for it! Keep up the good work Amare! If Amare can go for 20 and 10 while Sacramento beats Phoenix by 15 points then I'll be more then happy to root for Amare as ROY!
The rest of this home stand should show us just how bad the Rockets want to be in the playoffs. If they come out and play with intensity, I think they'll nab the spot. If they come out playing like they're a "young team gaining experience" then that's all they'll get this season. The playoff berth is in their grasp... I think they'll clinch it! And frankly, I think that after all the exposure and revenue Yao has generated for the NBA at great personal hassle, they OWE the guy a ROY trophy.
You would think. Also Yao does something the other rookie don't do, completely change the other team's offense by being a defensive force in the paint, making the Rockets a much better defensive team. But if they want to give the ROY trophy to Amare, and the Rocks make the playoffs I'll be more then happy to take it, and I'm sure the Rockets and the fans would to. Besides I think that Yao will sleep well not having the ROY trophy sitting next to him when he has the MVP and playoffs MVP trophies sitting next to him instead
I refuse to post unless some Suns fans come in here and we can trash them for Arenas DOMINATING their "top 5" player Marbury.
Sorry, you can quit wiping Amare's ass...Yao's got the ROY pretty much locked up. Funny how you don't mention all the foul trouble Amare was in...oh and the warriors always made their run with Amare in the game and the Suns always made their run with Amare out of the game...LOL, ROY? He might be if he had a shred of defensive intensity in him.
agreed. id like both as well. remember the theory that whoevers team gets into the playoff wins the roy? so GO ROCKETS! GO YAO MING!
