there are indications that Stoudemire could make an impact if the Knicks spaced him out to 22 feet or so, which is the distance to the three-point stripe in the corners.

Stoudemire shot an impressive 54.1% (145-of-268) on two-pointers from 20 feet or further over the past six seasons, according to Stats LLC—easily the best mark in the league over that span. In fact, no other player has shot even 50% from that range over the same period.

He was very shaky this year in the mid-range game- far from lights out. In terms of his career, yes he's a good 15 ft shooter, but his shooting has gotten significantly worse.

because he was never on the floor long enough to develop any sort of rhythm. Being played like 4/5 minutes stints won't/can't give you any real indicator of what he could have be capable of. Like others said, the way Woody handled the restriction was BS.

I think the only reason he got time on the floor was his contract. IN fact, if not for that Im sure we'd have figured a way to shed him. But, he is a player of signficant talent and if there is a hope he can return in some fashion you try.

Bringing a player along to get in shape in the second round of the playoffs is crazy. But reality is we were short handed up front. I don't put this on Woodson at all.

Wasn't his first bucket a 3 pt shot to end the 1st quarter? We were tripping on that!

I think its critical that Amare get that outside shot down for many reasons. One being his "Shake" will be more effective. If so, this spacing opens a lot of opportunities and most important this skill set could make him more compatable with FluTy and Mooby.

Sounds like a saturday morning cartoon show: "The Zany Adventures of FluTy and Mooby!"

Don't understand this short hand nonsense pacers played 7-9 players. It wasn't short hand roster that lost the Pacers series it was Chandler, Smith and Woody. They were the main culprits. To some degree Melo is there too. Melo was the best player and he played Woody's system to a tee.

Thank you for pointing that out, he always get a pass because people think he's this great, high character guy, but he is essentially a black hole, even more than MElo.
