We seem to be a dwindling group who still believes that Amir can make an impact. I still believe at some point he will get his shot this post season and be the extra ingredient to help put us over the top.

I believe he could make an impact, but I no longer believe he will get a shot. I really thought prior to the playoffs that it was going to happen for him.

I would love to see him incorporated, but I'm not dwelling on it.

I would guess that game 5 is the most likely scenario for him to see real PT. Flip has already mentioned that he thinks he could match-up well in this series. So a home game with a 3-1 lead and an injured starter seems like a possible window of opportunity. For it to happen, we probably need to end the first quarter with a lead an some big man foul trouble.

sometimes Chauncey thinks you're smart. And sometimes he doesn't.

???????????????????

If Dyess keeps manning up, forget about Amir.
And Amir will be gone in 1 year.

Let's keep a little perspective here, we are 7 up 3 down in the playoffs, Amir has gotten a little burn...

I still can't believe that we won this game. Rip and Tay just plain played like stars. Tay is at a new confidence level.

I am glad that we stuck with the core. I feel much better with the win than getting guys minutes and we lose.

Our youth is not consistent which is usually the case in this league. Maxiel has given us some good minutes but has he scored the last two games? Glad he was in on the last play vs. Hedo's drive. Maxiell helped a lot in game 1. Stuckey is not finishing at the hoop consistently. Not in the playoffs. Not at this level. Not yet anyway. And, his defense has not been very good. Nelson has taken him at least a few times. One of their forwards was taking the ball to the rack in game 4 and Stuckey happened to be there and sort of froze. As a guard you jump out and make the big pick up the dribble. Still, he was in on our good run in the 3rd quarter. Good. He is not afraid to shoot. Good.

Ratliff has been disappointing in that he is slow. He makes blocks but he doesn't board well.

We can't play the Hunter card too much but it was the right move in game 4. In the playoffs, winning is everything.

If the bench can help win a game here or there, that is all one can ask. We are up 3-1 because our stars played like stars.

I don't think we're dwindling as much as ppl are like Darth said just giving up. I truly hope he gets thrown in there at some point, and was beyond dissappointed when he didn't get a chance on Lewis after what Flip said.

I'm holding out hope like you though. Defense can make huge impacts in the PO's, and both Amir and AA provide that.
