have you seen him? he takes off his shirt in practice all the time. he's definitely in shape. i think that extra 20lbs of muscle he put on might be slowing him down A LOT. that and the back might still be bugging him. the added muscle was to compensate for the back. he strengthened his core, but he may have weighed himself down too much.

Being ripped doesn't equal being in shape. His basketball feel is way off. He'll get better.

that's what i've been saying about him not looking right. he seems a step slow and out of it. i've been wondering if it's the back.

He's not a step slow when he throws down does dunks. He's just not doing it enough because he wants to stretch the floor and become a jumpshooter. That and he doesnt have a PG like Nash/Felton getting him easy buckets inside

disagree. he's gotten a few easy dunks when he's been wide open. he used to blow by guys for dunks or dunk on people. he doesn't have the lift or explosion to dunk on guys now. gasol blocked him twice tonight on what would have been dunks last season.

I remember Amare always losing the ball last year every time he tried to force to the hoop it in traffic

Fa real..Nothing's changed in his game..He just doesn't have room to maneuver or isn't getting set up. You would think people only watch his highlights and thinks he dunks it every play. His jumper hitting is the key to opening his game.

18year old Amare dunk on everybody. Last year Amare wasn't that same player. He was much more balanced inside/out threat, older, smarter microfracture knee surgery to boot

When the present looks bleak, most start to miss the past. Knick rule #4.

I thought it was look to the present rookies Josh and Iman.

because he floats out to the three point line or waits at the top of the key.

That's not the reason and WTF have you been watching? This is 100% about a lack of PG directing the offense and getting the players in their spots. TD stops just after halfcourt and never comes close to penetrating into the lane to breakdown the defense, so everything starts out further than it should. Go back and watch video of the game and take note of where TD stops on every play. He's always far back behind the 3pt line and almost never drives or makes use of picks.

Papabear Says

Oh yea?? Well what about the lack of defense?? Amaer is doing nothing. Gallo , Chandler, Felton, Amaer had a better fit than this team.
You can't win by just having good players you need a game plan. You need to make shots. Not only is this team loosing but they are getting blown out and there defense is just as bad if not worse than last year. Praticaly all of the good teams today are very athletic and we are not as good as Melo is he change the whole scope of this team in a negitive way. Sure he will have his nights but that won't get us into the playoffs. Right now we have no offense or defense and Mike D knows this is his last year and this is not his kind of team.
