At your service. I didn't say Yao is a top 10 player. Just the opposite ...I said I don't think Yao is really a goto type of player like TMac is. That said, Yao still has the potential but we'll see on that. Nice comparison. Problem is Nash's gas tank is starting to dwindle. When he runs dry, so to will the Suns. I don't beleive the Suns have five contending years ahead of them. Two or three.
Thomas didn't really turn it on til the playoffs and the Suns won most of their regular season games without him. Nash is a year older, but I'm not going to doubt him until I see a decline in his game. He just has so much skill.
Thanks man. Seeing that clip made my weekend and it's only 9am Saturday. What makes Amare so special is how dedicated he is. After destroying the Spurs in the playoffs and despite signing the max contract, he was a total workout warrior that summer. He's the kind of player who gets max production from his abilities. Too bad we will never see what would have happened last season because I was sure looking forward to it. Even if he loses some explosion, he will still be a very good, maybe even a great player, and the Suns will be better for it. Nash will experience some drop off this year and Amare will pick up most of the slack. But I agree Nash is the true heart and soul of that team.
I have my worries about Amare's future performance after hearing all the "cautiously optimistic" quotes from him and D'Antoni & co. D'Antoni sounds like he's worried that Amare might even be a detriment to the team as he works himself back. Amare himself sounds like he has some lingering fear about the knee even as he gradually gains his explosiveness back. I wish him luck, but I keep on thinking about McDyess and Webber. On another note... I wonder if Amare's killer workouts over the summer contributed to his knee problems.
If the rockets had picked up Nash when he left mavs, the rox could have won 3-4 championships already...
Amare will certainly add depth to the SUN team, but with the way Nash has been playing, i don't see how his addition will make the SUNs even better! Nash is the key to the SUN Team! NOT Amare.
No, he'll be this year's Chris Webber and completely throw the Suns off and in turn help every other team.... Go Amare, you will make playing the Suns alot easier!!!!!!
