It's entirely plausible that MDA simply had a professionally intimate understanding of Amare's physical capabilities.

If Woody's "holding his nuts to the fire" is what pushed Stat onto a mattress, then Woody must be held accountable.

hahahaha - this is really really funny!!

Not sure if you were serious or not ... You were not serious right? You were joking? If you were being sarcastic then this is really really funny. If not, then I don't know what to respond to this and it's ... still pretty funny

So you were not joking. Whoops sorry!

So you think that Woodson asking Amare to play defense was the wrong move since that is his limitation and hence caused him to injure himself? Perhaps you are onto something I would never have looked at it that way. Perhaps if all coaches would not require their players to try too hard there would be fewer injuries.

Interesting ...

We have yet to see if Woodson can truly cultivate players' strengths on a one-to-one basis over a sustained period.

Sweeping generalizations are exactly what I'm arguing against.

Are you attributing Lin's injury to the boatload of minutes he got from D'Antoni?

That's what I took out of it. "Ride him like friggin' Secretariat" AKA Famous Last words from a Lame Duck Coach. Man they should just call me Chuck Trebek.

I believe the heavy toll of minutes undertaken in this condensed schedule is taking it's toll on everyone. Teams such as Chicago who are sure to make the playoffs can rest some players (DRose) and try to get them ready for post season. While those still trying to get in have to play through the pain and tough it out (Knicks/Chandler and Davis) d'A always played his starters and especially PG heavy minutes. The heavy minutes have to be a contributing factor. It was a question I remember from earlier interviews with M d'A where he replied how young Lin was.

Chandler should be resting and getting healthy. That is a real tough schedule coming up the next few weeks and 4 of the last 5 are away.

You think it's funny when someone lights your nuts on fire and pushes you onto a mattress?

For that very reason I carry pepper spray
