Glad to read this. He should be. Next game, I'd start the only players that at least tried tonight to send a freaking message. This was unacceptable and immature from them.

Sounds like a good acting job by Woody.

I never realized just how real bad Amare is on defense. He also have butter fingers when holding the ball because he is always loosing the ball or someone is knocking it out of his hand. So far Amare and Melo don't fit on the same team and Woody needs to get on Amare's case about defense or lack there of.

I actually think Woody was doing a good job of having them run sets with good off the ball motion. If STAT wasn't rusty and if we actually had a PG that could make the passes, those would've been a lot more easy scores. Long term I don't see a problem. You can't really defend STAT's D, but then he's NEVER been a good defender. I do think he had some good games defensively before he got injured. I'll give him a little more time to get his legs under him and to adjust to the speed of the game again. It's his 1st game back. A little patience and reasonableness is warranted.

right

Woody did chat with Amare when he took him out midway 1st Quarter and you can see Woodson wasn't smiling

Fact is like I say 1000 times Amare and bench scrub TDouglass thinks their main purpose on the floor is to score only
both Stoudemire and Douglass seem to have an IQ of -50 cause their basics for passing and putting ball on floor is
so predictable its easy for other teams to Defend them

If the scoring isnt working for Amare and TD the rest of their lame game is even worse than its usually is
when they are scoring.

Point here is neither Amare or Douglass shows they want to do other things on the basketball floor than score or jump-shoot

Their is a reason 50+ yr old Mike Bibby is starting over Toney Douglass and Bibby deserves to start SLOW and all
At least Bibby has brains ..can still make decent passes, he cant defend but now all of a sudden since 2011 Toney Douglass
cant defend a single-soul.

As far as Stoudemire showing he could care less for defense OR at least faking a defensive stance, its all
the old Mike D'Antoni ways of basketball. Amare learned its ok he dont play D, here under Woody I am sure
Mike lets all players know its unacceptable.

I like personally Amare off court and always supported him, his guts "Knicks are back" to come here and feel for him with
Back injury issues which LJohnson says he will speak to Amare to reach out how to play with the back issues.

However you can't give Amare away to quick for DJ,
Right now I'd take Elton Brand or bunch of draft picks and future considerations. Amare isnt going to be a championship difference
maker here in NewYork.

But we all know #1 Stout isn't going anywhere with his contract which NY is stuck with, like his lacking basketball IQ/ game.
