Initially thought about picking the Nets, but will go with the Suns (and then the Nets win, lol).

Should be an interesting, fun game to watch.

Since Amare is among the worst if not the worst defender in the league I fully expect Josh Boone to drop 20 points tonight.

Well, I've seen Boone score 17 pts once, and another close to 20 game, too. I don't think it's unrealistic, especially against the Suns interior defense.

edit: Boone has had four games close to 20 points in 17, 18, and 17 pts (within the last 7 games), and the fourth was 19 against the Warriors.

Just like Amare's defense... Well actually... To be honest the Nets might suck but they're not nearly as bad as Amare's "defense" :lol:

lol yup not to sound like a hater but really though amare = no D and Amare's whole offensive game = off Pick And roles with Steve Nash ...

these were their records prior to nash 44-38 02-03
29-53 03-04

I don't know Amare's offense isn't as dependent on Nash as a lot of people think sure he has to work a lot harder without Nash and when playing without Nash he's also more prone to taking stupid jumpers / three-pointers (LOL!) but he's a talented offensive player with or without Steve Nash...

Meh, his defense tonight was definitely a good step. It has also picked up as of late.

Plus he dunked on "Swat 51" or w/e you guys call him 3 times :D
