Keeps happening to our team this year, someone gets injured, and others pick up, one even shined briefly. Then one of the stars goes down and the other star shined. Now maybe, and I'm not saying this will happen, but Amar'e comes back, and Melo stays injured, maybe Amar'e will continue the shining? Dunno, so far so good and I don't wanna jinx our team. I think we're soo damn lucky this year it's unbelievable to the point where maybe it is the end of the world and our Knicks finally gets to shine? 2 more days to prove that... where's playa2 when you need him?

I agree to the point where it's helped everybody get minutes. Once Stat and Shump come back they'll play less, but they know they'll get playing time one way or another, and it's good to know they're able to step up when need be.

But I wouldn't call our injuries a blessing, they left us shorthanded quite a few times this season, and I can't help but think we'd have a better record if the players wouldn't have gotten injured.

It's a chance for other guys to step up (Copeland), and is an indicator of how well the team can handle a not so full and healthy roster.

The team has responded pretty well.

After Amare went down he was ask how well would the team be in his absence, he didn't even flinch before answering with a bout load of confidence, We will be fine, like no big deal..
