Amar'e will persevere

And is factually incorrect in the process.

"Only Howard, Andrea Bargnani, Al Jefferson and Greg Monroe lead their teams in scoring. That's four out of 30 starting centers."

Wrong! Gortat leads the Suns in scoring, rebounding and FG%.

Why was he even in the game? 3 seconds left, up by two, Memphis going for the win. Um, Ronnie Price Mr Gentry? You know, the defensive PG/SG on the bench?

There has been much discussion on whether or not we should have offered Amare a max guaranteed deal. There are some here that think so, but many saw it as a smart move. In just his second year there has a been a severe drop in productivity. While some of his effectiveness may return, at 29, he is most likely not going to get any of his lost athleticism. We could make the argument that a title run last year may have been worth the remaining 4 year 80 million dollar cap hit we would have now. I don't know about you, but Sarver is looking smarter and smarter as times goes by.

Which teams had the highest valuations in Forbes list of NBA teams?

Our Phoenix Suns is number 10

Sir Charles has a few comparable players currently playing, but who is closest? Do you agree with the list?

How much longer can this charade seriously last? The Phoenix Suns and Steve Nash have turned into basketball’s most depressing marriage. They have been together for far too long, they sleep in separate bedrooms, the kids (Amar’e) have left the nest- why are they still together? Well, because neither wants to be the one to end it. It’s a game of relationship chicken and those games never end well.

If there was a battle between Westphal and DeMarcus Cousins, I guess we know who won.

Dearest creature in creation,
Study English pronunciation.
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse.
I will keep you, Suzy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy.
Tear in eye, your dress will tear....................

This is our year! (Insert player here) gonna take off this year!
Every year every fan clamors about how this is the year. Some teams have real reasons for it. Clippers. Knicks. Heat. Mavericks. Some teams are used tot hat feeling. Spurs. Lakers. Celtics. And some lose that feeling before it starts. Kings. Warriors. Nets. But we are all champions before that first game and we all know exactly why. Well, let me be the one to further fan that preseason fire.

I have put together a list of teams players and whys for those players as to how that vaunted preseason championship will be won. So with further ado. Let your wildest dreams, run WILD.

But first, a reminder of what it looks like when THAT player does lead THAT team all the way.

2007 - San Antonio Spurs - Manu Ginobili - Fearless - Fight - Aggressive - Everything Greg Popovich would want in a player, Manu was in 2007 for the championship Spurs. His play signified what the Spurs were and won with.

2008 - Boston Celtics - Kevin Garnett - Focus - Passion - Immovable - No gimmes. No shooting for the other team after the whistle. No scoring on him. No way anyone could have beat the Celtics team that bought into KG's passion and D and played with it all year.

2009 - Los Angeles Lakers - Trevor Ariza - Chaos - Dunks - Defense - Ariza did and caused all three and seemed to never run out of energy. With Ariza contributing in a big way, The Lake Show were 3rd in 3 point percentage, 6th in Overall Defense and 2nd in steals and 4th in turnoevers caused on their way to the Ship.

2010 - Kobe Bryant - Never - Say - Quit - You can look at the Finals and see why the Lakers won it all. Kobe finally got, or made, his team play like him. He never let them quit and was as fierce on them as he was on the opponent. They took the Celtics best punch them knocked 'em out in 7.

2011 - Tyson Chandler - J.J. Barea - Big - Small - Underrated - Chandler and Barea were the odd couple that looked way different, play way different but signified the Mavs in the first ever Championship season. They played with confidence, played amazing under the radar and were chock full of intangibles.

So who are the guys that will be the ones to bring the game that their team will embody? Which one's will we be talking about if their team is the last one standing in June?

Less talk, more list.

Cick the title to view the analysis.
