Oh yeah, another win :) this winning streak is crucial, we have an easy stretch for the next 3 games (and the past 2) and we need to make the most of it

Breen was absolutely right when he talked about amare embracing the bench role and thriving versus gasol's reaction to being benched.

great D in the 2nd half. Melo not shooting great, but doing everything else tonight

EDIT: So far we've let in 28 points, we've let in 31 points in the 1st quarter against the Magic

I have to admit that Ive had little to know expectations for Amare's return (dont think ive voiced that opinion on this forum though). I'll gladly admit I was wrong though and that I love what hes brought to this team. Plus, seeing how he has embraced coming off the bench makes it that much more enjoyable to root for someone who will do anything for the team.
Knicksfan: Hypocrite league that fines players after the game for flopping but in the game and with obvious flopping they call the fouls.

IS it me or does it look like Felton shots are down with STAT back like some of us said.

I felt the same way you did after he injured his knee. It has never been about amare's work ethic. If he could correct thru work and rehab I knew he would. I just didn't think his knee would allow him to play at a high level again.

I will say it's a little different when you don't have time to prepare yourself mentally and when your team is losing. STAT saw his team win while he was injured so what else can he say. Plus he is on a minutes restriction. Stat has done a great job though and should get credit but pointing to Gasol is not exactly apples to apples in my opinion.

The Knicks are 29-15. It's been a long time since ny has had a team this good.

I agree about gasol. I actually think he should be starting. But you have to give a lot of credit to amare. He was the man for a long time and still has that mentality.

Expected a 20+ victory but I'll take a 10 point victory in stride, especially considering the fact that tonight became the first game of the season in which Felton, Kidd, Melo, Stoudemire, Chandler, J.R, Shumpert, Novak and Pablo all played together.

29-15 and only .5 games back of the #1 seed of the entire Eastern Conference!

Make that three consecutive!

What an amazing night of Knicks basketball.

Knicks won.
Heat lost.
Bulls lost.

Only .5 back of Miami for the one seed while being 2.0 games ahead of Chicago and 2.5 ahead of Brooklyn.

44 games into the regular season? Fk yes!

As you mentioned before Crush, its how long he can keep it up. I agree that Stat looks like he's happy where he is. Bringing him off the bench gives Stat a better chance of being able to do it again next season.

Amare isn't starting because Sheed is out. Amare knows this. Right now he is the only option to backup Tyson
