Ill keep this short...

You were brought in here to be Amare Stoudemire. Not LeBron James. LeBron chose Miami and we chose you. You are not faster, stronger and taller than everyone in the league. Be humble and stop the isolation plays.

That is all.

Maybe he would if we had another option. Seriously, its like Clyde said, if we are not making our 3's we just kind of just stand around. There is nobody on this team that can legitimately create thier own shot on a consistant basis.

i agree... unless u have a PG like a CP3 that can create shots for others, you need a go to guy that can create for himself

I disagree. The offense, although sputtering, was moving when Amare didn't attempt an ISO.

Then you were watching a different game.

Amar'e goes ISO because Ray Felton is NOT able to run a pick and roll right now. He just doesn't understand how to make the pass.

They go to the ISO because the pick and roll is just not working. And Amar'e made some damn good passes out of the ISO early in the game, but for some reason guys stopped moving without the ball later in the game.

it's a good thing we cleared that extra $9M in cap space... Felton, Mason & Mozgov are paying huge dividends.

LOL. Amare and Raymond aren't the only players on the team man. Didn't you see Amare barrel into the opposing player 3 consecutive times in the 4th?

I can do without his ISO.

Smells like desperation.

I'm glad Amar'e wasn't brought in here to be Lebron James because he's nothing but Wade's sex slave.
BRIGGS @ 11/14/2010 10:42 PM
The team is too Amare-centric. Its not team basketball.

It's a bunch of extremely young guys and Felton and Amar'e. This team is very young outside of those two.

I think Felton is scared or something because he hasnt been able to figure out how to PnR, and so he gives up the ball to Amare in what ends up in a iso. awful.

The second half of the 4th quarter Felton, Amare and Chandler just made poor decision after poor decision. And Gallo was completely left out.

And sadly that was an improvement over the first half of the 4th quarter when they tried running the "offense" and went scoreless.

Don't think he isn't comfortable being left out. Disappearing is part of his repertoire.

what I saw was something different than what you are describing. It's not like he keeps getting the ball when he has a shot or turns down shots or is not making himself available. I saw Felton take the ball up the court and feed Amare in the post and Amare would hold and go 1-on-3. Or Amare and Felton would try to do something and mess it up and Chandler would end up with the ball at the top of the 3 point area and take 1 dribble and shoot. Rinse and repeat.

LoL , you told us so , right?

Nalod @ 11/14/2010 10:55 PM
In third period we took good shots and was driving to the basket.

Usually its just a matter of time until they hit but we lost patience.

He missed multiple opportunities to hit open people under the net. He was too busy trying to dribble. Oh yeah, we took less threes than Houston and we missed more layups than 3s.

TymeLessKnicks @ 11/14/2010 11:09 PM
I hear he just called the team out in his post-game press conference. OH MAN!

STAT why are you cracking so soon?

AnubisADL @ 11/14/2010 11:11 PM
Im not even mad at Amare because I know he cant carry a team by himself. The guy needs help. This is why I was advocating trading the farm for Melo.
