OK, ANYONE WHO IS NOT SKEPTICAL OF AMAR'E'S DEFENSIVE ABILITY, PLEASE STAND UP!
Ok, now that you're all sitting comfortable, let me speak my mind.
I'm as big of an 'Amar'e Defense Skeptic' as there is, but mark my words:
AMAR'E WILL DEFEND...AND DEFEND WELL
This player is not stupid. He has a gifted offensive game and beyond FREAK athletic ability. He is (was) in the best shape of his life coming into training camp and is BY FAR one of the hardest workers on the team, both on the court and off.
Mike Woodson writes 2 stats on the board before and after each game:
- Avg Pts Allowed
- Avg FG% Allowed
Mikey Woodcack has made it abundantly clear what the goal for his team is:
To defend...
To rebound.....
To make the opposing team so nauseatingly sick of the Knicks suffocation tactics that they just pack it in and accept the L.
This isn't D'antoni's 'run-n-gun' from the 3PT (although we have taken a bunch of 3s so far).
This is accountability for yourself and your team on the DEFENSIVE END.
This is sharing the ball on the OFFENSIVE END.
This is being so facking unselfish that it makes other players and coaches sick with envy.
Amar'e sees this. Amar'e hears what people say. Amar'e reads what the media says. Amar'e knows his faults better than anybody.
If you think for one god damn second this man isn't motivated to help bring this team a championship by way of playing the same winning basketball that is currently happening, you're delusional.
STAT is coming. And he's eager to prove you wrong.
I personally can't wait to have the big fella back. This man wants a championship.
:gony:
Ty dude. An Amare supporter.. (golf clap)
Cant help but respect Amare and his hard word this offseason. I also expect a strong comeback.
I mean 17 8 was his career worst right?
