I'm not sure that Shump is going to be able to play in the starting lineup and that lineup is brutal offensively.

Tyson
Amare
Melo
Kidd or Shump
Felton

That will be the starting 5

With even Amare himself saying he's ok coming off the bench I think it's pretty clear that he won't be starting. What our starting lineup is right now is probably what it's going to be for the season barring injury. The only guy who might get benched is Brewer.

Knicks 8-2 with Melo, Amare and Chandler starting. Doesn't mean Amare will see more than 28mins to keep him healthy for the playoffs but he will start and finish

I don't know where you're getting your numbers but by my count they were 7-2 under Woodson and both are pretty small sample sizes. Also, most of the teams we played against weren't very good during those 2 stretches.
