News and Notes
Nov 7 F Amare Stoudemire is getting his offense into shape. After going for 25 points and 14 rebounds in a losing effort in Orlando, Stoudemire followed it up with 22 points and seven boards. He's not a fan of Boston C Kendrick Perkins and said he hasn't seen much maturity in the game of the volatile Celtic. "He keeps a lot of confrontation going," Stoudemire said. "We try to play smart basketball. From my standpoint, we try to stay out of the confrontation, really just go out and execute our plays offensively and defensively. But it seems sometimes, (Perkins) wants to keep it up. He's always mean. Always mad. He don't never have fun out there. He needs to learn how to have fun on the basketball court and just enjoy his life -- enjoy the game." Yahoo! Sports

Nov 4 Stoudemire was the only Sun able to get going Wednesday against Orlando, as he netted 25 points and snatched 14 rebounds.

Recommendation: The athletic forward had to do everything for Phoenix, as two starters (Grant Hill and Jason Richardson) did not score in the game. Whether or not that is a good thing fantasy-wise is up for debate.
