Lol, this game was far from playing correctly...
versus the Kings game this is what fluid Knicks basketball is about without him clogging the lane like Shaq did, management must work out a trade soon sometime this season before he breaks down further and we're stuck with damaged goods like what happened with Allan Houston.
sorry man but its like Jeter and A-Rod on the Yankees, 2009 was a fluke but those two cant coexist together theyve been together 7 years and barely nothing to show for it, its not going to work out with this here, believe that. really are you waiting for STAT to really break down and just sitting there like Penny, or just hurry up and trade him at least we can get something back/
getting rid of Stratosphere also opens up Chandlers game hes beast tongiht
this whole thread is a disappointment. i thin,k ill come back here in a few weeks when all of your little feminine traits have died down a bit. the sacto kings???? lol trade stat???? hahhahahahahha u guys r stupid
Amar'e has been doing that since coming to the Knicks. He was on and off early last season (definitely much better though), beasted and we went on an eight game winning streak, sometime after the trade he didn't play that well again, then did great in the first game of the Playoffs.Funny thread and i think your right to an extent but u took it a little too far. I mean Stat comes and says the Knicks are back. He comes here and looks like a clown on defense. Its tough watchin him look like a rookie but your forgetting how he dominated the Celtics in game 1 last year when he was healthy
"That said, the Knicks needed to get better on defense, and Stoudemire and Chandler will be playing together for a majority of their minutes. So far, the Knicks offense has looked disorganized and random, with players just floating around. Under these circumstances, Chandler naturally gravitates toward the rim, which clogs the lane and forces Stoudemire to rely on jumpers. To clear some space, the Knicks need to get more strategic about where Chandler and Stoudemire position themselves on offense. For example, when they want to isolate or post Stoudemire, they could position Chandler in the opposite corner, far enough away that his defender will have a long way to travel to help against Stoudemire's move. If that defender decides to help, Stoudemire will have a simple dump-off to a cutting Chandler. If he sticks with Chandler, Stoudemire has the space to take his man."
Actually, the current Knicks roster can make do without a PG, but coach needs to pick up (and enforce) a few things.http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/7424062/amare-stoudemire-early-season-struggles Here is a good article on the issue.
basically to summarize blame it on lack of a PG, questionable coaching and the fact that Amare needs to sub Tyson Chandler at the 5 more.
had he stayed on the bench during the 4th quarter, surely our losing streak would have ended but nooooooo, where tha Statoshpere supporters at?

Stoudemire is one of the better big men in the league at creating his own shot.
But with the way our PG play has been he has had no ability to get to the basket because he gets the ball 18 feet out. Which is why he keeps shooting those damn jumpers - he's a decent mid-range jumpshooter but come on he's not Karl Malone yet he needs to fix that shit and I think it starts with getting the ball closer to the rim.
