It's hard for an interior player to have a good game offensively when the defense can pack it in like that. I think considering the circumstances Melo and Amare had pretty decent games.
Amare had a decent game? Every minute he is on the floor he is a net negative because he will ALWAYS give up more points than he gets. Check this out:

DRUMMOND CUTS TO THE BASKET RIGHT NEXT TO HIM AND HE HAS NO FRICKING IDEA. HE'S OBLIVIOUS
Thats was tyson fault, as much as felton gets beat, amare is waiting for the penetration, tyson is actually facing drummond who walks right by tyson who gives zero effort to defend or even get in his way.
That's 110% amare's fault. He's ball watching and you can even see him turn to his right really quick which leads me to believe he thought his man actually stayed at the 3pt line instead of cutting. The only way you can blame Tyson is for not immediately assuming amare was gonna f**k up his assignment and rotate sooner than he did.Edit: melo even cuts off any chance of penetration and amare still doesn't decide to get back to his man until it's too late. However, chandler does have a sort of delayed reaction so ok kind of see your point.
I'm convinced we have all these fabulous Tyson staring on D highlights because he knows there's no one coming in if he does foul out on lost causes like that play.
In any case, forget Tyson; somebody please tell me how long Amare has been in this league again? What the eff was he doing? Goggles fogged up or smeared?
Better yet, what does Woody say during tape sessions these days?
No way they have tape sessions, but all tyson has to do is to tell amare watch your man cutting. Good teams communicate on defense, there's just no way to keep your eye on the ball and your man every single time, the pace is to quick in the NBA. go to a miami game, or a bulls game, those guys are srceaming out rotations on damn near every play.
The knicks get killed on Pnr cause they dont say sht to each other until after the play, thats when all the yapping starts
