Thats how I feel except I don't think really think he'll come off the bench he'll start and play most of his minutes off the bench.
I was looking forward to him and Melo playing together but thats gonna be post poned he needs to start taking some extreme measures to limit his injuries as much as possible.
I still think he'll be good when he comes back offensively after a few games defensively I don't expect anything more than a few blocks a game.
And also he is not getting traded because the Knicks are not gonna trade him for a gang of role players and nobody is gonna give up a star for him with his health. Knicks fans should just hope he can stay healthy for the rest of the year when he gets back.
Amar'e and Melo might not work best on the floor together, but I have no doubt that they're both going to start, but play most of the game separately. Amar'e is going to get his minutes, plain and simple, and we're going to need his offense, because there's no way our 3-point shooting is going to stay this hot - let's be real, there's no way our team is going to keep hitting 47.6% of its 3-pointers. We can't count on that down the stretch, and we definitely can't count on it during the playoffs.
I think you'll find Amare will spend a lot of his time playing with Marcus Camby at C. Partly due to the fact that Camby has a respectable mid range jumper and can keep out of Stat's way as Stat will be used as the primary option of the PnR when he is out there with Camby.
Yes. When Amar'e is on the floor, the team should be running the pick and roll over and over again, because it's what he's best at. The Knicks really did a pretty bad job of utilizing Amar'e last year because the lack of decent point guard play made it practically impossible for the pick and roll to be anywhere near effective. Now that he's got Felton back, he'll be great and ready to kick major ass in the pick and roll. In addition, Pablo seems to be a good playmaker in the limited minutes he's gotten, and nothing needs to be said about Kidd's ability to run an offense, so Amar'e is in a situation where he can succeed.
When he spent the bulk of last year as a stretch 4, I about lost it.
I know he hasn't. At least not yet.
But for a long time, didn't everybody around the league say the same thing about Carmelo?
If he can become a half-decent defender, then Amar'e should be able to at least contest a damn shot once in a while, or stick a hand up in someone's face.
