keep amare talk in amare threads this is about robin! fropez hopefully can keep it up in game 4. lets hope that he continues to irritate some players and get them off their game. Man, I can only hope that EC has some kind of nastiness in him.

Lopez is so much fun to watch. He sets great screens and he's so mobile for a guy his size. It's just cool to see a legit 7 footer out there protecting the paint, fouling hard and making this team tougher.

So glad to have him back. Without him the Suns are down 0-3 and the first two games would have been even bigger losses.

I think brook n robin are different players. brook will get u the 20-10-2 while robin will get 14-7-2maybe. I think robin is more of the nasty player.

Almost misread that as "Robin Lopez could be the missing link" :lol:

It might be worthwhile to get someone to just teach him and Amare the art of the rebound. The offensive side seems to be taken care of by Cartwright though. When a big guy can make a dunk, jump shot, left hook, and right hook in the same game, you know he's learning his offense. Never thought that would happen

I doubt seriously when they are suffering rebound deficiencies it is entirely because of the coach.

amare is not a great rebounder because he doesnt bring it night in and night out. he is also out of position most of the time. I think cartwright is doing okay. I dont really know if anyone can make amare play up to his potential. I think as far as overall game- this is the best amare is going to get.

Lopez needs to discern which shots he can block and those he cant because he goes for the block ever time and this makes him lose position.

I think you guys are making Lopez look too good then what he really is. I have much respect for him, considering it's his 2nd year in the league. I know Lopez will be a great center in the future, but he's really fortunate to play next to Steve Nash. Without Nash, I don't see him playing as well. What always comes to mind is the performance he played at OKC when Nash didn't play. He played like a different player.

Lopez scores off putbacks, open dunks, or loose balls. Everytime he posts a player up, I cringe because his hook shot is so flat. Until he fixes that problem, and gains some muscle I will respect his game even more. I love Lopez, don't get me wrong, but he plays like a better version of Lou Amundson, just a little taller. Straight hustle, nothing more, for now. :D I'm excited to see what he works on in the offseason after we beat the Celtics in the Finals.

His defense is amazing. Also, Shaq taught him to play with anger, and I like that!!
Anybody else remember when Lopez would foul players extra hard, Shaq would stand up and clap? :lol:

Yeah I'm happy Lopez got to play with Shaq, because I think Shaq taught em a few things. Lopez is developing some moves, but I don't think he'll put up another 20 point game in this series. But I hope he does :D

Well he had 14 and 6 or 7 in gm one. Lopez finds a way to score. I don't worry about indiviual rebounding numbers more than I worry about team rebounding numbers. The only thing that matters is we get them. In our style we can't have a bunch a guys in the paint looking for rebs clogging the lane.

I can care less is Lopez gets his point from post ups or PnR, as long as he gets them. Besides, PnR numbers from Lopez are better than the throw ii in the post and stand around offense. He is the PERFECT center for us. Dragic is learning to replace Nash, once he does we won't miss a beat.

I didn't know he already has a big coach. I'm not really that familiar with the suns you know.
