Fallout from the SI.Com report

[Amen316]

Well it seems if nothing else this morning the general feeling at Suns camp is quite. Its like everyone is waiting for someone to say something official.
Theres writing on the wall but yet at the moment theres not enough legible content to stand behind.
So where does this leave the Phoenix Suns?

Depends on whoms at question...

1. This SI news seems to have taken its own life and overshadowed alot when it comes to players responsibilities for this series. Any Player or personel that have or are talking behind the scenes seem content on letting Mike be the fall guy for this, or this story be the crux until media exit day reports happen.

Lets jump ahead alitte with the two stars:

a.) Steve Nash for all that he means good to the Suns his passing, decision making, and defense all came to the forefront. Yet maybe even myself was/am guilty of giving him a free pass deserving or not. Probably his humility has helped somewhat also.
b.) Amare Stoudemire he is and has been all year the go to guy. Well even if this guy is superstat. If the coach tells you he believes its best for the team for you to play tough defense and rebound. You do neither, you have no right to call out the coach plain and simple.


Conclusion: If anything proves anything its that Mike D is far more valuable than even this series. The reason is just the mere notion he had quit, been fired, whatever it may be. Has overshadowed the loss of the series and the Suns final game fo this year on the following day.

Meanwhile you can beat Toronto, Chicago, New York, and yes even Dallas may be lining up to inquire about Mikes services if this myth isnt dispelled. Remember all that has been dispelled is that either A. Mike has quit or be he has been outstead. Last nite I was pretty emotional just as many Suns fans were. Today and forward Level Heads and a true gameplan for the future I can only hope prevail.

As for Stat. He is totally wrong when he talks about "pecking order". He is our go to guy, but in a certain series it can happen that he just need to do other things.

Heck, look at Duncan (arguably one of the best 10 players in NBA HISTORY), for some games in this series he was relegated to set picks and rebound. Did he say something? NO. Why? Because on the Spurs EVERYONE only cares about WINNING.

Amare should learn from them.

[scootfu602]

Normally I am a big defender of Amare and what he says, but I do agree with Go7. He could take a lesson from TD and the spurs. they care about one thing......WINNING. Not personal stats.

I'm a big Amare fan as well. But he really disappointed me lately. I'm not saying we should trade him, I just hope he stops being a little selfish and thinks more about team success from now on. I hope Shaq can help him in this regard.

Me too. I had noticed a few times when Amare got a little pouty Shaq we take him aside on the sidelines and it seemed to help.

Yeah, I think Shaq will definitely help Amare in that regard.

Remember, Shaq was his favorite player growing up.

He will listen to anything Shaq tells him.
