Yeah so they'll win 50 games instead of 62, poor Suns.

Dido you are back just as insane as you left lol.

But they have Nash lol.

its rough though, Nash is 32, they can't afford to take steps back now. Yes they have Amare, but his style of play is very dependant on a particular kind of pg.

Phoenix will have a good season. Amare is amazing and they have Marion and Nash to help him out. I think they are still an elite. They other role players will fit nicely. They will feel the loss of JJ and Q but they will still be amazing.

Why must we start a new thread to beat a dead horse one more time?

Whats the obsession anyway? you sound like some cavernous worn out scorned bitter leather lady with smokers baritone dressed in K-mart polyester to exentuate your vaginal swelling wondering why your scanked out wishing the Suns will tank and elevate the status of the knicks and your distain for KT!
We gonna lose some games next year. About 35-40 loses by many estimates.

It would satisfy me if on one of those loses, KT drops 40 pts on us in the garden and reminds us what an asset he was for the last 5 years and proves your "basic INstinct" to be incoreect!

KT was never the bain of our problems. It was far greater than just one player infact!

If you feel somehow that any teams misfortune betters ours is a sad sad thing. If your wishing the suns to falter to substantiate our Marbury trade its really pointless.

As are most of your posts when your not thinking. Just think more often!

after reading that statement, I threw my breakfast in the garbage..LOL

People here were saying the same thing last year after they "foolishly" replaced Marbury with Nash.

...and the Spurs are a Duncan injury away from being in the lottery. what's your point? Obviously Steve Nash is the most important player for them because he fits in perfectly with the style of play of Marion and Amare. If duncan was hurt do you think manu and parker could manage the offense by themselves? is Nazr going to be the defensive presence tim is?

You're completely wrong, look at when Duncan wasn't on in the playoffs and Ginobli and Parker stepped up (Not to mention Big Shot Bob). Ginobli was on his way to being MVP of the finals after the first few games. No team in the league (aside from TWolves) are more dependent on one guy, Amare and Marion are monsters but they are incapable of producing consistently without a great point guard who can run with them. There is a big difference in taking away Nash than Duncan even though Duncan is a better player.

there's a huge difference between being off and not being out there. Duncan's presence changes the whole game - even if he isn't hitting his shots you need to guard him and usually double team him - if you saw those games when Duncan struggled the defense wouldn't let up on him because the last thing you want to do is let him get back in the game. Whether or not he takes the last shot like Horry or scores the most points (he was outscored by Manu many of the games) doesn't mean he isn't crucial to them winning. You take duncan out of there and now they have no interior game - which means Manu gets doubled teams off and you see a lot more zone defense because the Spurs can't really shoot. Duncan makes the Spurs so much better because a) he is a defensive anchor b) he forces the defense to focus on him even if he isn't hitting his shots c)he has great court vision and is fundamentally sound - he knows what passes to make that will eventually lead to an open shot. Don't forget that when Manu and Parker drive to the hole their shots are less contested because nobody is allowed to leave Duncan to help on defense.
