Daily Links: Pleas for followers are counterproductive
Link o'Day
Chris Bosh vs. Charlie Villanueva, on Twitter - TrueHoop By Henry Abbott - ESPN
This was funny for about 24 hours but now I've had to unfollow both of them b/c all they do is non-stop twitter spam fishing for more followers. They need to get creative about how they are going to win this bet. Tweeting existing followers hourly looking for more followers is counter productive...or at least annoying as hell

I love Shoals and all of his work but I completely disagree with this take on the Suns

Has "Amareisreal" lost his marbles a bit?
(Day2)
“Expect me like you expect Jesus to come back. I’m coming”
Amar’e Stoudemire aka Sun Tzu
P.S I’m doing well, “Still I Rise”
If Jesus came back, I doubt it would be in the form of a basketball millionaire. Sometimes I think Kerr would like to tweet him “Just shut up and play ball. That’s what we pay you for.”
If you want to trade our spare parts for Devin Harris, I have three quarters I would like to trade for your dollar
The sad thing is that he's quoting Tupac and attributing it to himself.
The sadder thing is that i recognize that it’s a Tupac quote.
Steve Nash, the league's MVP, is a longhaired Canadian who spoke out against the war in Iraq and reads The Communist Manifesto. Quentin Richardson declared after a game-winning shot that it "was like Hamlet. It was a suspense thriller, and I killed them at the end." Amare Stoudemire, when asked to comment on a 22-point third quarter against the Kings, said, "I've got a tendency to jump over some guys' heads and throw it down."
That Shoals piece hurt
Love pretty much everything he writes, especially since Amare and the SSOL Suns were constantly pimped on FreeDarko, but dang….that’s harsh.

shoals piece is premature and incomplete
Not to mention, obvious. The Suns are more or less stuck at this point. There is no checkmate move for them to suddenly become title favorites. Their choices are either to blow it up completely, or try to shore up what is actually a pretty good core, and remain competitive, if not for the title, then at least for the upper half of the conference. He’s right that retaining Amare alongside Nash and Hill gives the Suns the best shot at fielding a winner, and its looking like that is exactly what the Suns are going to do.
