Zo was a man among men, defying the odds to play after kidney transplant. I hope he plays another game before he retires for good ala charles barkley. Anyway he already got his title so there is not much motivation to make another comeback, or maybe he will who knows...
Latest news, Payton wants to join Boston, is he the missing piece?
BTW MIA si empy... paramdam ka naman bossing...

December 22nd, 2007 10:24 AM #8542Zo is a beast... Even this season when everyone seems to be slacking off, he plays with fire in his eyes just like his Charlotte days... One of my favorite centers ever...

All the young guys are excited to play, they have a gameplan as well... They'll be awesome when Oden, Roy, Outlaw, Webster, Aldridge all have solid roles in their team... Lakas!

LOS ANGELES - This 3-5 stretch for the Suns started with Minnesota's Al Jefferson matching his career high with 32 points and then saw Miami's Shaquille O'Neal have his best game of the month.
New Orleans backup Hilton Armstrong had a season-high 11 points off the bench. San Antonio's Tim Duncan, a game after scoring eight, had 36 points in his second game back from injury.
Dallas' Erick Dampier, a consistent non-factor in Suns' games past, scored eight in the first seven minutes. And in the past two games, Toronto's Chris Bosh (42 points) and the Lakers' Andrew Bynum (28 points) each had career highs.
All were big men. Most were guarded by Amaré Stoudemire. There was a reason Bynum played 42 minutes of Tuesday's 122-115 victory, in which he made 11 of 13 shots.
"It was out of necessity, basically," Lakers coach Phil Jackson said. "You have an advantage. You have scoring capabilities. He was a threat that kept their defense on edge."
The Suns can become unraveled defensively from the inside out.
"That's where our weakness is, no doubt," Suns coach Mike D'Antoni said.
Stoudemire talked emphatically after the game about the team taking more pride in one-on-one defense.
"It's tough to deal with," Stoudemire said of Bynum's career night. "You definitely don't want him to go off for his career high in different categories, but they did a great job of looking for him. They found him in spots where they knew he was probably going to be open. We've got to do a better job as a team to stop guys. We've got to make it an effort."
The Suns tried teaming backup Brian Skinner with Stoudemire, but communication breakdowns still freed Bynum, 20.
"Anybody would have a great game the way we played defense," Skinner said. "We've got to tighten down our defense. We can score on any team in this league, but if you don't do what it takes defensively it doesn't make a difference.
"It's simple, nothing huge. It's not that we don't have the talent or capabilities. We've got endless capabilities and talent . . . There's nobody in this league that can beat us when we play at half-capacity."

December 27th, 2007 01:26 PM #8548I hate Amare's game, he's so passive and he's not improving at all, thinking that he's still the beast center that his "potential" can bring...
I'd doubt that any GM would give up Dwight for Amare... Nash beneficiary at his best... No wonder Shawn is moping about the attention Amare is getting... For a guy that young and his given athleticism, he stinks at defense... I doubt if he can even withstand a constant barrage of Kurt Thomas' defense during practice.
He's no Shaq, Duncan, or even Dwight.

December 27th, 2007 02:38 PM #8549yes very passive right now. tough to read Amare, but i'll give him some slack now, he just had knee surgury a month before the season and suffered some swelling early in the season, so I think that comes into play with his passive play. My guess is that he'll have a strong 2nd half and the Suns will make it to the West Finals barring any major injury and with Grant Hill on board with gives them another ball hander/ decision maker outside Nash. Lakers maybe more talented but they aren't battle tested except for Kobe. Spurs, Suns, Celtics and Detroit are the cream of the crop right now. Bump out the Rockets, I doubt that TMac will make it through the season in one piece.

December 29th, 2007 11:45 AM #8554Randy Foye's kneecap injury has not healed and he's going to be on the shelf for another month.
Another MRI test revealed progress, but still showed signs of a developing crack that has kept him sidelined since October. He will be able in increase his workouts and conditioning to allow for more running and jumping as long as there’s no pain or swelling. "You hope for better news but it is still good news because he’s progressing in the right direction," said Wolves coach Randy Wittman. Marko Jaric and Sebastian Telfair will continue to play point guard.
