Felton makes Amare better because he makes his jump shot and goes to dinner with him

Amare makes Chandler better by drawing the double teams.

The Mayor makes Amare better because every MVP needs a wingman who can soar over traffic

Gallo makes Al Harrington look like an afterthought

In the rear view mirror, Al Harrington makes Stephon Marbury and Chris Duhon appear smaller than they are appear

Fields makes Donnie Walsh look much better

Donnie Walsh makes signing Amare look like a stroke of genius

That, my friends, is teamwork

Amear playing with Felton makes Felton better or The Mayor better?

Gallo makes Toney Douglas better. Even when he leaves the game in foul trouble.

Landry Fields makes everyone feel better.

Amare makes Felton better because he get him assists.

Amare makes Chandler better by drawing the double teams.

exactly, chandler and gallo make life for amare easy, and visa versa..that was clearly evident yesterday..they lock down the paint in the first half, and lock down the perimeter and left amare one on one in the 2nd half.

1.) Our PF and Center average 17 rebounds per game with Wilson starting. To keep in context Kevin Love almost averages that by himself. Turiaf is also not a big rebounder off the bench, neither is Mozgov. during the playoffs this is not going to fly.

2.) Teams in the playoffs are going to do what Minny did and what Denver did. They are going to pound Amare and Wilson inside with a bigger stronger player. NOw I agree that they have to guard us as well, but the pounding our guys are going to take can really be draining in a playoff scenario. Teams like the Celtics can throw 4 or 5 quality physical big guys at us. This has the potential to really wear us out

3.) For the season Amare averages 3.84 fouls per game. With Wilson in the starting line-up he averages 4.13 fouls per game. For the season Gallo averages 2.3 fouls per game and 3.0 with Wilson in the starting line-up. This is no coincedence. The good teams during the playoffs are going to exploit this even more.

It's obvious to all that we need another big guy. This guy has to be a productive defender and rebounder to take the pressure off of Wilson and Amare. I think if we are going to take a true move to the next level eventually we are going to have to move Gallo or Wilson to the bench(no this is not a competition between the two and not a demotion. It's about team. Best fit goes to the bench) or move them via trade. Otherwise I see us destined to be a team that looks good in the regular season but can't hang with the big boys in the playoffs.

The Mayor is having a breakout season.

The Celtics are old. As he shadowed Melo, Gallo can also cover Garnett.

The Knicks have something unpredictable and fun to watch.

The Knicks have yoots.

The problem is that against the better teams and in the playoffs when the play is more physical and you are playing one team for 4-7 games we are going to get worn down in the interior with this line-up if we don't get a beast via trade(or one of our guys develop. You are seeing some of the symptoms of future problems even during this winning streak. Here are a few issues

I agree Bip, and it was the same deal in Phoenix. Amar'e started at center and he struggled against the bigger skilled centers. He'll come up with big defensive plays, but he is going to need help. If he doesn't get it (And I'm not talking about Melo) then we're going to struggle in the playoffs with or without Melo.

Help in the frontcourt >>>>>>>> Melo.

I agree with all 5 of your statements. However, none alleviate my concern.
