Well.. looks like they are, just like I thought. There's no way they'd start Kurt on Amare. But speaking of which, Amare looks like a twig when you see a side by side comparison of the two.
Dwight just looks so physhically imposing. I'm surprised he *ONLY* weighs 245 pounds (same as Amare).
amare with 16/4 and 2 blocks on 63% shooting in the 1st half
howard with 4/2 and 2 turnovers on 50%
amare isn't 100% yet, but he's at least 90%. his only problem is he can't bring it like he used to for 40 minutes. consequently, he finds himself out of position a lot, starts swiping with the hands, and racks up the fouls. that'll come with conditioning though.
the ridiculous and dominant amare will be back by the end of this year at this rate.
if Dwight were on the Suns? are you even kidding me? do you have any idea how PATENTLY ABSURD his stats would be on the Suns? he'd have very little competition for rebounds down low. he'd have more rebounds to get than any other player in the nba because the Suns play such a high pace. then he'd have all kinds of open looks from Diaw and Nash.
Dwight's clearly the better player right now. Amare's improving so we'll see how this plays out but Dwight will likely always be better. All Amare is good at is scoring.
