I heard Amare had a great practice and showed explosiveness and everyone was impressed. He best not dissapoint because the way they were talking, that article really pumped me up.</div>
Homeschooled due to medical conditions.

Well, so far Amare has been alright. He hasn't gotten many touches at all, but he has 4 points, a couple of rebounds (one real nice offensive rebound), and both of his FG's were little dunks. But as of right now, he definitely can not keep up with the Suns' offense. He's about 5 steps slower than everyone else up the court, a main reason why he's not getting touches. But it's his first game back, he'll get back into the swing of things.

On a side note, Allen Iverson has been on fire! He has 20 points, maybe a few more, and he's hitting from everywhere. And god damn, Rodney Carney can jump out of the gym. I mean I knew that before, but I havn't seen basketball in so long, it's still incredibly impressive how much he gets up just off a simple verticle jump going for a rebound.

 

Why is D'Antoni manking Nash guard Iverson?

 

I have been watching game since halftime, and Amare, despite only scoring 2 points in 3rd, looked very good. he made a very quick spin in paint, but couldn't finish littlen hook. He had that fantastic pick and roll which ended in a great dunk, and he has looked very promising.I hate the #1 instead of 32, though.

 

lol that sucked. Not a good sign giving up such a big lead with Iverson and Webber not even playing, wow, that's all my team's now who have sucked but it's just preseason so I'm fine with that. Amare looked alright but tommorow is the important game for him. How will he react to playing back to back games? Will he even play? We'll see tommorow I guess.

 

Did we win? I didnt get to watch...

He caught ball under hoop, and without taking a step threw it down hard (it was an offensive foul on the player who got it to him, but still). He had a few dunks in game, few rebounds, and looked very good with his spin moves in paint. He lost ball a few times and missed a few close shots, but that stuff will return soon enough. The big thing is that his confidence, and athleticism, is coming back.

 

Yeah I know, that was good to see. All he needs to do is play more and get back to game shape and I think by the 2nd half of the season this team will be looking very good. Losing a 22 point lead in one quarter with your stars playing and there's on the bench is never good though. I thought we were over that...oh well just preseason. Diaw quietly had a very productive game too.
