If Amare can Stay Healthy, they are in the Finals

[The White T-mac]

Its actually pretty obvious. The Suns are already almost made it to The Finals without STAT. He got 26 PPG and almost 10 RPG. He is a beast when hes healthy. Also, if he is healthy, that might give Steve Nash another ticket to an MVP award. More Stoudemire, more easy baskets. More easy baskets, more assists. More assists, more MVP awards for Steve. Its common sense.

They still need work on their team defense though because they're a run-and-gun ballclub. As long as Steve Nash's playing, they'll get a lot of wins because of his unselfishness on the court while he's pushing the fastbreak tempo & he has men like Shawn Marion & Amare Stoudemire who can finish off with some ferocious dunks. Shawn Marion's destined to have another breakout season this year & if Amare gets back to his old self, they'll definitely be the team you won't want to mess with because he's a great rebounder, has a lot of low-post moves, & he's so strong, but yet, he's got a lot of athleticism to his advantage in order to punish the slower big men. Amare still needs to work on his interior D by averaging at least two blocks a game, Steve Nash needs to be more of a ballhawk out on the perimeter, Raja Bell needs to work on shooting more than just three-pointers, & Shawn Marion's fine as he is right now, but he needs to work on defending in the low-post too. They'll always be a high-powered offensive team averaging at least 105 points per game, but if they could cut down their opposing team's allowance of points down to like 95 ppg, they'll be one hell of a team that'll cause a lot of matchup problems.

phoenix is wicked scary.

I would tend to agree that if Amare stays in shape, it's all ours. Nashty is going to play his best basketball yet in this year's playoffs... this is his chance to prove he's not just a garbage time player. Let's go Nashty and the boys and win this one for all of Canada!
