Talk about a load of crap...
Amare did play 55 games last year. If they were to have won every single game he played, they'd have a record of 29-26, which did not happen. So at best they were a .500 team with Amare last year.
Q's 15pts/game does not equal those 33 wins. Anybody can put up 15 points.
And when does having a good coach in a good system hurt your chances of an MVP? If that's the case, should we take the MVPs away from Jordan because of Phil Jackson and his triangle offense?
And no, there are not many players that can put up Nashes numbers: 15.5 pts, 11.5 assists, 50% fg, 90 %ft, and 1.3 3pts per game. I can see maybe Kidd doing similar but without the high shooting percentages.
Last year, the Suns scored 94 points per game. This year they averaged 110 per game. With Nash unable to go, the Suns averaged 86 a game. Now that's value!
