Amare looks lost without Melo on the court.

He is used to watching him jack up 25 shots a night.

That was embarrassing for the Knicks, they hit 18 three point shots and still got beat.

It was open season on the rim tonight.

A new coach is more important. So long as he is there, this is what you get.

I figured the addition of Tyson Chandler would make this team care a little more about defense but after watching the dunk drill last night I guess not.

Disagree. It's all about the players, and D-Will >>> Melo. D-Will would get Amare back to old form.

You couldn't be more wrong.

The Suns were a fun team to watch, that's is about it, he can't get a team to play defense.

A better coach could get them to play D and share the ball.

Been saying it for years, he is easily the most overrated player in the NBA, the only thing he is really good at is scoring and even then he needs 25 shots to get his.

No coincidence that Denver is better without him and New York is worse with him...a horrible trade by one of the worst managed franchises in pro sports.

I hate everything New York but I actually feel sorry for Knick fans, they deseve better.

If Amare doesn't get suspended in playoffs, they probably win an NBA title. Even still, they had a ton of success. New York? Not so much.

I wouldn't go too crazy if I was running things for the Knicks. How well can you expect to do without a true point guard in that offense? I wish Baron would get his fat a$$ in shape for the sake of my fantasy team

That's a big if, but in reality the Suns weren't built for the playoffs and niether are the Knicks.

Not built for the playoffs? They went to the conference finals 3 times in 5 years.

I don't think that it's that big of an "if". The Suns had the best record in the NBA. Series was tied 2-2, and Amare missed game 5 which they only lost by 3 in Phoenix. Amare averaged 25 and 12 in that series. That gets them back home for game 7. Then they probably beat Cleveland easily in the Finals.

Hypothetical champions, congrats to the Suns.

When I say built for the playoffs, I mean actually winning something, making it the conference finals is nice but does not come with a trophy.

My only point is that D'Antoni needs a good PG, and that he can get damn good results with one. The 2007 Suns did not win a title, but they were a championship caliber team.

Unless they start playing defense it doens't matter who they have at PG, simple as that.

Did you watch the game against the Heat? Wade/James had 5 dunks each...they got to the rim at will.

Trading Melo for D. Williams would make them a better team but no better than 3rd place in the East.

Unless they put together a team that can outscore the opposition. Suns didn't play D, and won 61 games in a tough conference.

If we're dealing in reality, there's probably nothing any team can do right now to make themselves better than 3rd in the East. Heat and Bulls have that locked up. Spoelstra seems to be living proof that the coach plays a small role.

61 games huh?

Didn't those LeBron lead Cavs teams win more than that?

The fact is this, teams that play like the Suns did don't win championships, simple as that.

Erik has them playing pretty good D, which is what makes them the best or at least 2nd best team in the NBA right now, I'd say the coach plays a bigger role then you think.
