He can't fucking complain! He's sad over what, missing an additional 8 points or so a game? If that's the scheme of the team, so waht? He's getting paid ridiculously to be a part of that scheme. Hey Amare, those 10-year old kids in sweatshops in Asia earning less than 50 cents for a 12 hour workday, working their fingers to the bone with no insurance, you think they're happy with their jobs? And yet, they're more professional about their work than you! Damn, I'm so sick of all this whining by "superstar athletes" who are already being paid millions to play a game and yet still somehow think the world owes them something.

Are you nuts? This is why people find it in themselves to hate on the American way of life sometimes: it's all about selfishness. It's always all about who didn't get what, like they're entitled or something. And their reason for being selfish in the first place is dumb: they want to look good first, and win second. If I was coaching the Suns, I would bench Amare's selfish butt! You're making millions to play a damn game, you're a professional, just like the coach is, and that forbids you from being frustrated over his decisions! Porter's the coach- the Suns hired him to make decisisons, so that's what he's gonna do. Amare is an employee too, one being paid to play at the coach's prerogative, so he needs to just play when called. The NBA is full of whiny babies with too much money! You'd think someone was trying to hurt him! Geez! Can Porter? Are you nuts?

Shaq is averaging 10 SHOTS a game (and making six)! Somehow that means Amare can't play alongside Shaq? Give me a break. Granted, the new offense is a far cry from D'Antoni's system, but the defense is somewhat improved . . . and besides a new offense takes more than 15 games to implement. If things are still bogged down by the end of the season, THEN we can talk. As for Sheed . . . the guy is outrageously talented. KG and Duncan both consider him to be on their level. There's something wrong with his head and he's anything but consistant, so no, he won't be in the HOF. Nor can he be considered a top-five big man in the league, like Amare. But in terms of raw talent, he's on at least equal footing with Amare. To all you guys who say Amare can’t get his touches with Shaq having the ball more . . .

He rebounds (8.9 a game) thats it Its the "team" defense that gets it done. Then why sheed, or prince aren't DPOY??? (Oh yea, the "future HOF" TODAY: 11 pts. 1 rebound 3 assists) @don mega Dont compare TD to Sheed. Now thats some crazy talk. Sheeds legacy is no where near TD's. TODAY: 11 pts. 1 rebound 3 assists. Fundamentals or not sheed wont make it to HOF or will ever be better than STAT @fed

I think that Sheed is a more well rounded player than Amar'e, but I genuinely think that Amar'e is a BETTER player already than Sheed ever was. True, the Pistons are in the East, but getting 4 players onto the East's All-Star team is like winning a kicking contest against Bruce Bowen. FED, I see your points.

Last few games he has been taking 10 or 12 shots per game, which considering he is the most offensively talented player on the roster must be frustrating The new system does not suit their 2 time MVP point guard, and doesn't get the ball enough to their dominant power forward.
