"But at the same time, a guy like Amare is not going to get defensive rebounds like those two guys, and rebounding is the best way to start a fast break," Nash said. "That’s something that we didn’t necessarily have. Although Amare is one of the best players in the world, getting a rebound and throwing it out is not one of his strong suits."

Loved the comment..

I bet Amare’s ego is bruised after that!

I hope so, Panama

I hope so because that may get his fire going to motivate him to do it next year just like the criticisms of his jumper a few years back.

This guy is so gifted, he can be the best player in the league. We saw it against the Celtics…KG had a really hard time against Amare, because he was all fired up. I wish we saw that every night on both ends of the floor.

Amare going all out? the league would be his playground

Like I’ve said before, if Amare gets it in his head, all of our problems are solved. I mean, he’s as talented as James, he just hasn’t figured out the winning. Look at what LeBron did with no help. Amare could do so much more…
