We need Kurt more than we need Amare at THIS moment. We are being dominating by average teams as long as they have big front courts. We were so much better on D before the All Star Break and now look at us. Raja Bell isn't even playing good defense.

Well it's not that Raja isn't playing good defense, it's that he's forced to double up more, which is not his forte. He likes going man-to-man. This is the same problem we had earlier in the season -.-

We are currently struggling indeed. Hopefully it's something we can just break out of though. Doing this this close to playoff time isn't good.
It's all me and Free Arsensal's fault. he said we hit 47 win mark, and said we would make the playoffs if we lost every game till the end of the season cuz of tie breaker with Hornets.

I then said, "no way we'd lose every game for the rest of the yr." And we've lost 2 since! lol

That's what you get for tempting karma :wink:

I agree with the OP, though; Thomas is much more necessary than Amare right now. Somebody needs to do something to get him back on the court.

As much as we need Amare and Kurt Thomas, this is not going to happen. KT won't be back until late 1st round or 2nd round and Amare is unreliable.

We need Plan C!

What I anticipate in the playoffs is that Nash MUST BE in scoring mode. There is no way in hell that the opposing team don't know how to guard us. They stay with our shooters to shut down Nash's passing and let Nash score.

Nash shoots the highest % on the team. In order to force the team to send help defense, Nash has to keep scoring and reduce the # of turnovers.
