Thank goodness. I couldn't care less what the media et al have to say about how he will fit in with the team, I will welcome him back with open arms. The team is too beat up for me to thumb my nose up at his return.
Alan Hahn@alanhahn“@cc24ny: @alanhahn I don't have my glasses with me and I'm in the 200s. Is that STAT working out?” It was yes. He was out for 90 minutes
90 minutes? NIIIICE. Is it impossible for him to return by Christmas? It would be a happy Christmas indeed to see Amar'e in the lineup vs the Lakers.
Read a report that hes gonna practice with the D-League team and if he can go through practices with them and not have any soreness the next day then he could be back as early as this weekend
EDIT: Not exactly what I read but here are the tweets
Jared Zwerling @JaredZwerlingAmare has been cleared to practice. #Knicks ... He'll practice with the D-League team this week. They are in town.
Alan Hahn @alanhahn
Woodson says Amare cleared to practice but he won’t rush him back. Did not rule out a return as early as this weekend. Depends how he feels.
50m Ken Berger Ken Berger @KBergCBS
With the Knicks' limited practice time, Woodson says Stoudemire's best chance of getting reps is with the D-League squad.
Throwing out a question to all before the game starts:
Would our first home loss be easier to stomach while we are depleted by injuries vs a team like the Rockets (a .500 or slightly below .500 team) or with all hands on deck in a hard fought game against a top-ranked opponent?

Wow, that would be friggin AWESOME.
Does every white forward that has a good game get compared to Larry Bird
Melo still out.

damn...but he should be back against the Nets shouldn't he?
Isola:
Terrific response to Jeremy Lin during player intros. The perentage of fans at MSG cheering was probably -- wait for it -- 85%

Guessing they are resting him for that game which is a bigger game for the Knicks
where has Brewer been these last few games?
Knicks need to do a better job of controlling the tempo of the game. This reminds me of the Nuggets game. Can't let them run all over the place. Slow them down.
Brewer moving well cutting off the ball
1st Qtr 6:17
NYK 11 HOU 15
They've scored just about every point inside the paint, and most of those have come from fast breaks. Clamp down on D faster.
These guys are making Lin look All-World. D up!
