Amare has step up his defense this yr, 5 blocks one game, 5 steals the next, But the haters won't reconize it, they won't reconize that our overall defensive philosophy (let everybody shoot 3's just guard the paint)is so 90's. You remember the 90's when they were maybe 1 or 2 good 3 point shooters on a team, not 5 or 6 like it is in todays game.
Besides, if your not a stretch 4 your worthless on most teams
did you watch the game last night?
for every point that amare scores he gives up 5.
Also, did you see his fugly turnovers on the double and triple teams? Carlisle made him look like the tool that he is.
Why in the world do you defend this guy??? I don't get it.
It's not Amare I'm defending, it's the fact that you miss the 15 wide open 3's(45%) dallas made. we didn't lose the game because of amare's Defense.
As soon as you watch the entire game instead of focusing on a amare's lapses on defense, You will realize that he's a small part of the problem on defense. You guys hate amare so much that you turn a blind eye to our real issues. We have players on this roster that make amare look like Mutumbo
It's so narrow minded and box thinking to keep ridiculing every single word he says, especially when a he's talking about TYSON, who nobody lost a wink of sleep when he go traded.
