why is that scary?

as far as help defense in the middle goes, amare is pretty darn good

its more one on one that he needs to work on

hes one of the leagues best blockers

Not too bad reallly for a first game under a new coach, Shaq obviously likes it.

It is nice to come over here without that draft pick hovering over everything. Perhaps this is the year Suns can make it to the finals. Now that the trade is settle I can finally say goodluck to the Suns.

Might be 2nd row? I forget...trying to sort 9 games is hectic work

Think SDU and NF are courtside, the rest are second row maybe?

Well, was at the game last night (as well as every game, :-D)

And what I noticed, that basically everyone did I think...

Shaq dominated ... Prob his 2nd or 3rd best game in Phoenix. He even played good D, and some fouls they called on him were just bs calls, like wow.

Nash...Was Nash.

Dragic, ... His box stats might look ok, but he looked WAY out of sync and LOST. I want this kid to do good and am a huge fan of him so far...but ya. He looks scared to do things. Hopefully he breaks out of that shell.

Amundson is DEF gonna have a spot and roll on this roster. He played well and was TOUGH above all without any fear. Going up for second chances and getting in there.

Lopez played horrible. Made his first shot and another wide open hook later on, but like Dragic, he looks scared and lost most of the time on D and O. Hopefully with more practice it will get better. He also needs to bulk up in my opinion. He gets pushed around BIG TIME.

Alando played great. Someone said earlier that he was shooting a lot of shots, but I think in the 4th at one point Porter told everyone to give him the ball, cause they were just running plays for him...But he played great. Great in Tucson, great here...I see him being a good player.

And Barnes...Im excited for him, hes very tough as well, I like him :)

Overall, we played well, I enjoyed the game...And Ya. Amare + Barbs + a 2nd lineup that doesnt include all newbies will be good :) :P

if we arent going to shoot 3's, then this team will FAIL

our 3pa's are a joke, we have 2 of the most dominant big men in the league, we have to have the green light to shoot
