Huh? When was I destroyed? Seems pretty clear cut to me. Amare hasn't been your "Amare" in a couple of years. All I'm asking is Amare step in take a charge, maybe grab a rebound here and there. Is that too much to ask?
wasn't amare one of the top shot blockers during the 11/12 season..last I check, thats a form of defense

he was my Amare just fine in year one with Knicks... obviously the back spasms starting the playoffs were terrible timing and that really sucked but thems the breaks. If Amare gives us the 25/8/50% we got in 78 games in year one how would you feel about that?

He was 55th in the League at .96 Block/per
Just for some perspective, Dwyane Wade averaged 1.29 blocks per game as a shooting guard.

If he gave 25/8/50% and played better team D than he played last year, I'd be ecstatic.
I think the fire extinguisher was rock bottom for Amare, and that we'll see significant improvements in the coming season.
He started the turnaround for this organization... and I'm rooting for him to become a dominant force again.

fukkin hilarious - I think his balls are blurring your eyes.

The guy is turning 30 soon, he no longer is the man. He has to forget about averaging 25-26 pts and focus on getting a double double and playing great help D. Body your man, box out, call out picks etc. Do the little things. Enough talk, enough twitter, just lead by example tough guy.
sacrifice for who? Who on this roster is Amare sacrificing for? Melo? Lin? Who on this roster scores at a better FG%? Chandler.. and thats it.dumb dumb dumb statement amigo.
Lets see... our PF averages 54% shooting for his career. He scored at over 50% without Nash last year. So lets take shots away from one of the leagues most effecient scorers and give those shots too _____________ (fill in the blank)
By the way, whatever you put on that blank line is the wrong answer. Its a trick!
I wonder how Kobe won all those championships and how he is widely considered one of the best players of all time with a career shooting pct of 46%. HE SUX!!! AMARE IS GREAT!!

Uh ... PHX was not stupid enough to take a chance on his brittle body and I don't anyone else in the NBA was either.

Should be interesting how this comes together. Hopefully Amare & Tyson refine their games. If Tyson somehow develops a 15ft jumper after a decade in the league although it is as unlikely as STAT learning Defense and post moves, the Knicks will be alright. Worst case Camby starts and Tyson backs him up.
But hey Melo is the root of the problem right?!
the problem is simple. One guy scores 25ppg at 54%. The other scores 25ppg at 46%. Who do you want to feature on offense? This is not a trick question. By the way, when Amare played next to Shaq (cause that guy doesnt clog the lane) he put up 21ppg 8rebs and shot 54%
Wake up people.
AMARE >>>>>>>>> KOBE
The only way the knicks win a championship with Amare is if he plays Eddy Currys role. HAS-BEEN!!
