But Wallace is the better rebounder, even this year with improved Amare, Wallace was better in his short time per.

So not to take away from the strides Amare is definitely making this season right now, Chandler/Camby/Wallace are still better.

know who he looks like? Amare Stoudemire. Only question is like Bonn said... how much gass left in the tank?

Agree. If we can continue to limit his minutes and he continues to regain his from, playoff time is going to be fun.

Also agree. Stat is definitely playing well enough to start but it doesn't mean he should. Still another half of a season to go and a long hard slog through the playoffs. Like I said before, JR and Stat gives us a lot of firepower off the bench. Gives us a lot of offense to spread out over 4 quarters.

Actually, I disagree. He looks like a completely different player on O. Yes, he can still jam it, but he is skilled enough now to post up and hit high % shots. Once the player sees the ball go throught the hoop it gives confidence in the jumper. Even further, if/when he loses some atleticism going forward it will no longer affect his game so much because of his new post up prowless. His footwork and effectiveness when posting up is night and day whem compared to his previous years.

On D he seems more determined, and i hope with lasting results.

Not really. He looks great. I'm still skeptical that he has a lot left physically, though. I hope we don't see a Jason Kidd like decline as his body gets more wear and tear. If he plays this well without missing a lot of time for most of the remainder of his contract, he'll have proved us wrong.

Kidds physical decline is way over exaggerated. He's always been a savvy pg using his IQ over his athleticism. Now if Lebron's athleticism declined, then lebron fans should be concerned. Along with other athletic freaks. Amari is learning how to impact the game without using his athleticism, thanks to Hakeem Olajuwon. Those lessons will extend his career.

I don't care how much a players physical attributes decline, as long as his impact on the game remains high. Jason Kidds impact on this team is just as important as the other guys that score 20+ or jumps out the gym. I get tired of all this how much is left in the tank. It's enough to get us within .5 games of the eastern conference.

Instead of thinking about the glass half empty, it's time for Knick fans to see the glass half full. We've been half empty for over 15 yrs.....It's time to see the light. We have our best chance at a ring this year....Amari and Kidd will be a few of the key knick players that put us over the top. Can't wait to see Kidd's post defense on Lebron, similar to his Dallas championship days. Or Amari and Chandler trying to rip the rim down in Miami. Lets Go!
