STOP IT BRIGGS! they played a bulls team that is absolutely decimated by injuries, more than any team in the league.... the gave up a 23 point lead, and had hinrich not been playing like a dummy might have pulled this game out... please come on now.. championship team? with a healthy amare playing well and I love amare, this team would get steamrolled by the pacers and heat, and since we are giving amare the gift of health might as well pass it on to the bulls... a healthy bulls team would steam roll a healthy knicks team..

Amare is still a good player can't harp on injuries he needs to be out there playing. He is the most efficient scorer they have. He is getting acclimated after not playing and it takes time but you can see that his game is getting better and better. More Amare and the teams chances will get better.

nah, I am looking for losses like guns... that is the light at the end of the tunnel.... hit dolan right where it hurts.. more losses, more negativity. Dolan worries about one thing? how bad he looks, he will be forced to change...

sometimes when Im bored I go through ignnored posts and predict what they say. This time was too easy...

Amare isnt just a beast, he's always had a great feel for the game on offense. He's not a ball stopper. His body has had a lot of rest recent years also.. I dont expect the high flying stat of old, but he can really score it.

If we can get 20-25 minutes from him Knicks will be sooooo much better off.

funny I do the same thing.. and guess what, it never fails, the post live up to expectations.. or down....

I don't know right now. I'm torn between rooting for losses and just seeing good smart basketball but that can lead towards false hole and quick fixes that assure we won't contend for a ring for the next decade plus. I guess I'm still leaning towards losses. It's hard to watch this though. I hope I get to the point where I just stop watching like I did towards the tail end of the Isiah years

I mostly agree, Stat does have a good sense of the game on offense, he has a soft touch but can also power it through the rim need be. But, I don't think you can really say he isn't a ballstopper, when 90% of the time you know he's gonna shoot it. He is a much better player in a system with ball movement, but he doesn't really keep the ball flowing himself. You have to love the efficiency though, especially when he's drawing fouls because he's the only player attacking the paint like last night.
