Right now it doesn't matter how Amare comes back, we need a second scorer. Somebody who gets to the rim, gets fouls and can shoot around 50% any night. This is a tough lose, we do have help coming.
I knew they were going to lose.

we are missing our other two offensive weapons so unfortunetly we have no other options

I don't get this logic about Amare coming of the bench..The Knicks are getting killed on the boards..Absolutly slaughtered...Bulls are covering Melo with Deng who is a three??..Why is it advantageous for Melo to play the 4?
well it gives melo and advantage offensively and he can get his points win or lose and dolan and all the melo fans can sit there and say.. "WE HAVE OUR STARRRRRRRRRR!!" AND place blame on other players like fields and douglas for the reason why we lose...
yea, we get killed on the boards.. bulls had 18 offensive boards.. melo had 2 boards.. but does that really matter to most? he had 29 points!!! Yes!!
I think we match up with the bulls, but they seem to pull out these tough games, and to keep it real, had rose or deng hit a Ft the other night, we lose both games..

Other than the Bulls, it creates horrible matchups for all teams. Also, Amare gets in the way of what the knicks want to do with Melo
and lord forbid anyone gets in the way of melo getting his shots.. LOL..

we just don't have them.. we have some good allstars.. but we don't have absolute studs.. i think that has been the biggest misconception on these boards...

Yup, you're right. 43 pts, 2 big shots, 1 at the end of the 4th quarter, 1 to win the game, is easily duplicated.

WOW, what a troll post.
Way to marginalize a debate that has been on going all season.
Sorry Briggs, you made a thread about sending Amare to the bench way back...... you're a Melo lover.
Bonn, I've seen a couple of melo at power forward is a superstar post out of you......... you're a Melo lover now.
Holfresh, you've been traded to the anti-melo team. So no more good post about Melo out of you.
Sorry guys those be the rules, maybe we'll get more defined classifications out Tkf the next time the knicks lose and he decides to post. SMH
In Woody's own words he's saying what i've been saying about what this team needs to do despite not having great PG play:
We weren't moving the ball enough at all. We stood around too much. Didn't play the way I'm accustomed to seeing us play since I've been the head coach. Obviously, it's something we need to fix, because we're running out of time."
It's not possible to win just with D. You still have to play smart, team oriented BB. Melo can't take every shot and score every point. You still have to play team BB. It's possible to play with ball and player movement even if you don't have a great PG. The Knicks have to get back to that style of play.

You are a true GENIUS!! Of course they did not have a good offensive game and of course thats what every coach says after such a game!! LMFAO
Maybe he got your email.

you guys love going nuts over a good performance.. It was a good performance, we have had plenty of those all year and heck on the knicks.... All star players are doing this every week.. every single week.. heck deron williams dropped 57 points this year.. knick fans are so infected with trying to find a star, and damnit they will make one if it kills them,.. win or lose....
Perspective.. we are a sub .30 win team with 10 games left.. watching amare do what he did last year and watching lin this year, trumps anything melo has done in a knick uniform... especially in the excitement category..
