You almost wonder if Amare Stoudemire.......

as good as he was...........didnt somewhat slow this team down a little........

the cavs are not better without larry hughes, nor are the suns better without stoudamire. the reason phoenix is winning is because diaw and barbosa are stepping up big time (along with bell at times). suns would be scary good if they added stoudamire to this mix.

Stoudemire and this squad would be ridicolously good.

stoudamire and kurt thomas....give them so much flex esp vs east conf teams

really think they would have been challenging for #1 seed overall with those 2 all year.......then again with those 2 healthy they likely wouldnt have traded for tim thomas

Yeah......I agree the would be better if he were able to play.......but I wonder the way he game is they would have to slow it down a little.......

Remember 2 yrs ago when the Kings were rolling when Webber was hurt.....then he came back and they were not the same team and were'nt winning as much......

Just an observation...........

the suns played the same style of basketball last year with stoudemire as they do this year - run and gun and score.... stoudemire fits into this team perfectly because he is so athletic and fast...

but anytime you bring a player back after a long absence, it usually takes the team awhile to adjust to being part of the team...

the suns with stoudemire next year are going to be nearly unstoppable :SIB

after all, at the beginning of this season, they were not even supposed to make the playoffs (according to analysts and oddsmakers), and now they are in the conf finals looking pretty good.....
