This convo is between melo061 and I about 5-6 games into the season. Since melo061 apparently likes to share what I say to him on AIM with others, then I'll do the same here.melo061: amare at 20/8?melo061: are you kidding memelo061: drop the bong lolmelo061: you know whatNitro1118: dude he is already getting around 16/7 a night as a startermelo061: I'll save this conbomelo061: convoNitro1118: ok, and in april when he is doin more than 20/8 we'll both laugh...especially memelo061: kNitro1118: he is playing on the easiest offense in the world to get points and rebounds, he is already much healthier than in preseason, and once he gets ball a bit more and stops making a few stupid turnovers he will be at 20/8 easilyNitro1118: so y dont u think he will be 20/8 by april?melo061: nopeNitro1118: im askin, whymelo061: nope nope nopeNitro1118: WHYmelo061: why? that's very easy why. He simply wont get the ball enough. Period.melo061: and 8 boards?melo061: man he had 8 boardsmelo061: 2 seasons agomelo061: he can't get 8 boards nowmelo061: with kurt thomasmelo061: and marion thereNitro1118: he's doing some very impressive dunks and blocks so farNitro1118: take a look at him in preseason, and now, look at how big of a difference a month has made for himmelo061: so does that mean he will be back to where he as 2 seasons agomelo061: no way in hellNitro1118: in 5 months he will be much better than he is now, teammates will trust him more, he will get more open court oppertunities with his athleticism mostly back...he'll be finemelo061: you assume waaaaaaaay to muchNitro1118: im not assuming anything, there is NO reason to believe that he wont improve in 5 months....5 months ago the man was just getting off crutchesNitro1118: now he's throwing down dunks, had 2 straight 16pt games, is now starting, throwin down more and more dunks, not feelin painNitro1118: getting confidence back]Nitro1118: gettin more shotsNitro1118: I dont think he will be at 26/9 like he was in 04-05, but 20/8 is extremely feasibleI said I'd save this convo, and as of March 4th, 2007, Amare is averaging 20.9PPG and 9.9RPG.
Nice. :happy0144: His rebounding and D have been much better than expected and he has surprised me with how quickly he is getting back to normal on offense.
C'mon guys, we're making threads about people's AIM conversations?Why don't we just make a bi*ch and Whine board for this crap?
Part of the reason I posted it is to show how most felt Amare coming into the season, and what he is now. He is arguably better than he was in 04-05, and it is still only March and doesn't have all of his physical abilities back. Ain't like this forum has any constant, heated discussion or anything. Just a fun little thing to postthat is related to the Suns and Amare.
Who believed that even before pre season started that Amare would come back strong?*coughMEcough*hahahaha

I've noticed that you've conned yourself into thinking you are some sort of "elite user". You're probably bbw's biggest spammer. Half of your posts are one liners and consist oTf "it's given or it's "jeez, we've already discussed this". Nothing constructive. Throwing out statements without any proof. Lying and making up statements.It's the BCB way I guess.Oh and don't me started on his racist views...<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>I was going to say that too.

And you know, aren't you the same guy who said Shawn marion is better than Shawn Marion? Again, it's something come from you.

The reason why you actually get those awards is because you are the most active (and funny). Big whooping deal. It really doesn't prove anything.Also, whether you want to admit it or not, you do spam. Deny it all you want. But I dare you, ask every longstanding member privately and ask them to tell you the truth. You'll get your answer.And the racism part?
