[...] His 32-point outburst against the Jazz in late-January solidified the Slovenian’s confidence and swagger – both of which he was severely lacking last season. If nothing comes from this season for the team playoff wise, at least Dragic had made great strides. [...]

Repeat my observations of the last two months: no defense, no rebounding….no playoffs. This is not just a mental problem, it’s a personnel problem. Except for Hill the Suns have no real tough defender and he’s getting too old to keep up with the younger guys…still the tougest defender on the team. That tells you something of the rest. The truth is you have too many defensive “soft” spots: Nash, Amare, JRich, Frye….which is by the way 80% of the your starters!!!! No wonder that the 2nd unit has been stealing the limelight especially on defense. The bottom line is that Phoenix is on it’s way to another miss of the playoffs. They may get to the allstar break just 1 game or so over .500 but out of real playoff contention. For me if Gentry and Kerr don’t take action quickly the season will be over by allstar break. Trade JRich and howver you have to to get some tough defensive guards, real pitbulls, and laso get a calibre rebounder. By the way I donot believe Gentry can teach this team to play defense…he just does not have a system…if you see how JRich defends Jackson of the Bobcats against the 3pointer (4 feet away from him!!) you want to cry. If you see him shoot 2 of 12 from the field you want to cry, tha’s worse than 20% and he is paid 13 bigs ones per year. If you see Amare’s timid play yday and today you want to cry, his 5 TO’s matched his 5 rebounds….are you kidding me…5 rebounds in 31 minutes!! Oh yeah, he had 5 rebounds yday too…in 37 minutes. Look guys: a bad defensive team, a bad defensive coach and an erratic front office…do the math = no playoffs. Hey Binkfooter….I agree with you – send Amare and JRich to the Nets and get Brook, Humphries, Douglas Roberts and thier 1st round draft choice. I wouldn’t hesitate a split second.

Have no problem with Amare going to New Jersey as long as we get Brooke Lopez so this team will finally have two tough guys.

I am with Kez all the way. Trade Amar'e if you want and from that moment on I will no longer be a fan of this piece of shit ass team. Especially if they trade him to New Jersey, Minnesota or Golden State.
