huh? Many people have been discussing that. I doubt you can find a thread here devoted to Dwight Howard where his injury wasn't discussed.

probably so, but I was just watching Steven A rip the knicks and amare..Also (in so many words) say lin was a fluke, he said he believs he can play, but not @ the level he was..

I'm just getting a little tired of hering the nets are a better team then knicks even without Howard

WE can't succeed with him playing those minutes and that amount of touch's.

Its a team game so I think with great talent spread out he does not have to put up big stats for the team to succeed.

did you see ray allen in the playoffs

bosh miss half the playoffs (with back issues)

James harden was the worst player in uniform during the finals, a key pice to OKC team.

MDA always says, luck does play a roll in winning a title.

What about Wade electing to have knee surgury instead of playing for the olympic team.

Camby is not going to the heat, he's not even a good fit for that team, and playing time will be min..

mami is not a lock to win jack next year, as a matter of fact I know there not winning it all next year..

Bonn: how would he even put up the performance of a few years ago with this current team? Get the league to add another ball? Stat's in a different situation now. Hopefully he adapts.

Amare took 14 shots a game last year and averaged about 15 shots a game on the Suns. His touches barely went down. His effectiveness when touched the ball is what went downhill.

Bonn I understand your assesment looking at a stat sheet, but anyone who's paid attention to the actually game (which i know you have) saw a big difference in where and when Amare was getting his shots.

It's easy when Nash and Felton were feeding Amare for and 1's and open jumpers, it's quite a difference when you expect a pass and get look off for Tyson or melo..it's just hard to find a rythem when you never know when your getting the ball, When you do get it, you rush your shot, or try to do to much.

I agree Amare has to come to camp in better shape, and a better understanding of his role, but just hering that he's practing his 3's and plans on working with hakeem on some post up moves instead of rehabing an injury, has to be encouraging
