I think when Amare came back the Chem changed because the players had to move to different positions and have different roles. And i think they still havnt gotten back into there old selfs. IMO, I think Amare should sit out the season, and let the knees heal fully, so they have a whole training camp to work on it.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Phoenix loses its second blow out in a row. What's wrongdid i jinx them?</div>Playing their best players high minutes all year is hurting them down the stretch. Also, your post jumped the gun, because Amare shouldn't have even played.
I'm in class so I thought I should post today. I don't think it's because of playing time because last year we had no depth and all our starters were playing over 40 minutes. Now with our depth we have them playing in the 30's sometimes Raja and Marion play 40....I think they are playing like that because Amare distracted them. I was happy when he came because I thought he would do better. He can't even jump. He needs a whole off-season to improve. Also, our problem is not having Kurt Thomas, and we may not have him until the 3rd round so I'm almost ready to look to next year for a championship. Kurt is our defense and rebounding, we need him. With him we were top 10 in a lot of the defnsive categories but without him and excluding the games in Amare's return we are giving up 7 more points. Wow...

If you havent' noticed the top 4 teams are in slumps and I think it's pretty much fatigue from the race for 1st seed.As much depth as Suns have this year, they still play their main guys big minutes. That will take a toll on players.
Didn't I tell y'all this would happen? Its just like when The Kings was doing good while Chris Webber was hurt and when they tryed to bring him back he messed things up.
