Just like Michael Jackson!!

"I don't see him[Amare Stoudemire] leaving," Nash said. "I just see him having a phenomenal career and being in Phoenix a long time."

The Washington Wizards have acquired Minnesota Timberwolves Randy Foye and Mike Miller in exchange for Etan Thomas, Oleksiy Pecherov and Darius Songaila and the fifth overall pick in Thursday’s NBA draft, a league executive with knowledge of the deal told Yahoo! Sports.

My take:

This def hurts our chances for tradin Amare......I think its a must we trade Amare. No one is gonna give us good value by next years trade deadline for a guy who will be a free agent in the coming months. This was one of our best chances to trade Amare for some real value. Lets hope something happens in the next few days

He knocked some people on their ass. Blocked some shots... That's how you do it.

As a big man, you've got to come in and establish yourself in this league. Knock somebody on their ass. Get into a couple of fights. Get a couple of flagrants. You got to let 'em know who you are.

The last time Shaq missed the playoffs -- with Orlando at 41-41 in his rookie season -- his team won the lottery as a consolation prize. Knowing how lucky the Suns are, though, do you think that's even an option?

They need to cut the cord with Amaré Stoudemire, who is not a great player, rather someone who makes great individual plays.

The Steve Kerr Moron Meter is broken. For reasons all too obvious to enumerate here, the 19-14 Genius margin is clearly erroneous. The Moron Meter is broken. Or is it "fixed"?

If we want to be in the playoffs, this is a game we have to win. If you ask me do we deserve to make the playoffs after a performance like tonight, you’d have to say we didn’t earn it.
