Amare “fun” = 0 ring

PERKINS MAD = 1 ring and counting

I loved that line. For real though, from an outside perspective I think Amare seems dead on. How many times do we all joke about never seeing Perk smile, and how Perk always has a scowl on his face? Now I think Perk is having fun and that’s just how he gets down, but I still think what Amare said is pretty acurate. Perk likes to play tough and physical and never lets up. I wouldn’t have it any other way. We don’t say Perk is a beast for nothing.

If Amare had half the heart and intensity that Perk has he could be the best player in the NBA. To bad he’d rather skip through life. Perk is the Beast!

spoken like a true offense first, let someone else do it on defense player

what matters is the scoreboard, not the woofing

the key is consistency – execution on every possession; if you get caught up in the jawing back and forth, you might not be focusing enough on what you need to be doing

it’s positive if you channel your emotions into your play as a team; it’s negative if you focus your energy on the refs, or winning a battle of words, or defeating your opponent one on one

Perk does need to develop more consistency and evenness in his play and focus on executing; everything that doesn’t contribute to winning is a waste of time and energy

Stoudamire might not be the right person to deliver the message; pretend it was said by Doc or Duncan or Nash

the Suns put on a clinic last night; they stuck to their game plan; when the C’s scored, the Suns didn’t hang their heads and point fingers; they ripped the ball out of the nets and pushed it up the floor

when they’re rested, it seems like the C’s are better than any other team in the league; but when they’re tired, their rotations and perimeter defense are slow, and teams can beat them if they run and if they hit a high percentage of their shots — it probably won’t happen all that often … but it’s an area of concern

I’m glad the C’s got this test early; it gives them something to work on, and they can focus on getting better — all of the talk about “best team ever” and 72 wins made me nervous; the way to get there is by working at it, not talking about it

the better amare plays on offense the more i lose respect for him. there’s no way someone can be That good on offense and be so bad on defense. have you ever seen kg get so many easy tip ins?? he does nothing to protect the basket. how do they let him get away with this?? and he criticizes perk. hilarious. talk about a guy who doesn’t get it. if i was perk that’s just how i’d respond if asked, “amare’s a nice guy but he just he doesn’t get it.”

Perk knows the secret, Amare doesn’t.

Nice to see amare living out the ‘nba cares’ program, haha

Perk probably DIED laughing when he read this.

How is Perk playing his role immature?
pretty off base

Sometimes he lets his anger take himself out of the game. It sometimes is hard for him to
focus when he has gotten screwed by the ref’s time after time. He is a physical ballplayer,
but he doesn’t get the respect out there that he deserves. My only wish for him is that he
plays his game and stays out of foul trouble as much as possible. Keep the tech’s down, that is where the respect from the ref’s will come.

to talk about other player maturity and playing smart basketball?

this shit is unreal.

perk keep it up my man!

Maybe I don’t read well, but where does Amar’e question Perk’s maturity?

Why do I still love Amare? And he is just saying what most of us think anyway. I didn’t even recognize the Perk wedding photos because he was smiling in them.

I love Perk for who he is though. You know you are getting 100% from the guy every game.

Is this the same Amare who probably cost his team a playoff series by leaving the bench after Nash’s flailing into the scorers table?

at this level it’s about winning in June…you try to maintain/have fun when your losing 18 in a row…..our fun days are over….like Pat Riley says"there’s winning or MISERY"…let’s win

Amare is a big athletic softy. Skilled and talented…but S O F T. Perk your a friggn thug! All of Celtics Nation loves you for you! Play mad play tough play ruthless! Be the enforcer! Ignore anyone with out a ring. Ha!

Loose one out of every seven…that’s a 70 win season. I don’t forsee many nights like last night. The defense a was awful. Rotations were a step slow all night. Had it been against another team besides mr Nash’s team we would have won even playing so poorly on D. I don’t feel too bad because I say a suns team hitting every damn shot they took it seemed. Hot shooting team…little bit slow D equals a loss.

Amare’s idea of fun is taking naps on the defensive end of the floor. And without Nash, his offensive numbers would be cut in half.

He would be pretty useless if he was as soft as Amare. Actually, I wish Ray Allen would take an example from Perkins and KG and amp up the intensity and attitude himself.

And we’ve all watched Perk since high school. With his bride and his baby and his taking the solid, but not spectacular contract, Perk has matured just fine, thank you.

Toughness is invaluable..

Perk is rock solid, he’s gotta be mean, when we play ORL I WANT him mean and str8 taking it to Dwight Howard defensively. Dude’s got character, and takes the game seriously, which is what I want from my Center… he’s a kool dude if you listen to his interviews.

but on the court…WE MUST PRO TECT THIS HOUUSE
