Amare Out 6 Weeks

[Pugz]

hes getting his knees cleaned out.

 

[buzzy]

always clean your knees, kids!

 

[Giantmetfan07]

ugh. unbelievable.

i hate this team.

 

[dez]

I heard this earlier and didnt believe it...

Damn, just when he was getting back to making a true impact...

Keep the faith GMF

 

[Giantmetfan07]

I have no faith. God will kill me before he lets me see a successful Knicks team.

the new york murphy's

i almost cared for a second. i mean word, he's been getting back to being useful lately, but i still don't give a fuck honestly.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

It really sucks. He was playing so well, and was looking great. Although their defensive numbers since he returned have been awful, they were also without Sheed who was a big part of their D off the bench. Really sucks.

KMart's going to get more time now, as should Camby unless he's still hurt which he seems to always be -- and they might even look to add someone else to bulk up the front court, although I don't have a damn clue who is available.

Eddy Curry!

 

[cruzg24]

Old players=more injuries. If the knicks were 5 years younger they would be great...

 

[Giantmetfan07]

With Kenyon Martin, Jason Kidd, Marcus Camby, Rasheed Wallace and Kurt Thomas, they would crush the 2003 NBA Finals

 

[jonathanlambert33]

ugh. unbelievable.

i hate this team.

It's a good thing.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

He's our only player off the bench that can actually score in the paint. So yeah, it does matter.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

It doesn't matter because it's clear as day yall are a better team without him than with him.

Yall score more points with him off the court and allow less points with him off the court, so...

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Same could be said for Shumpert offensively. Bare in mind they both returned at roughly the same time.

But overall, I think it does matter. There are some games where we just suck ass offensively because the 3s won't fall. At least Amar'e gave them an option inside with Tyson and Melo on the bench.

I just want him getting more time under Woodson without injury. Melo has made huge strides defensively, and Amar'e can as well in time.

Mike D'Antoni wanted the New York Knicks to re-sign David Lee instead of pursuing Amar'e Stoudemire in the free agent summer of 2010, according to a report.
The Knicks ultimately signed Stoudemire to a lucrative five-year contract that offseason -- uninsured despite his knee issues -- as Lee signed with the Golden State Warriors.
Stoudemire will miss the next six weeks because of debridement in his right knee.

i thought lee was the way to go, too
