Knicks · why is amare not playing more esp in crunch time (page 1)

that has been boggling my mind for a bit he is our second best scorer and seems to be rebounding better this year...end of game line up should be chanler, stat, melo, jr, kidd period

Agreed. Was calling for him to be inserted when we fell behind late 4th Q and Melo was struggling the way he was. The new Amare offers us somehting we haven't had in a while, and thats a guy we can punch it into and get a decent look 7 feet and in. There was no need for Kidd to be on the floor late, last night.

the problem is that amar'e can't guard a parked car. woodson is afraid to put him in defensively.

You do know some cars can park themselves now? You make it sound easy...

hahahaha

Amare's defense is still terrible.

Woodson is saving him for his starting job when Camby or Sheed comes back.

Amar'e played in the crunch of the Clippers game.

AMare played in the Clips game and you saw how they ran circles around him. Hes AWFUL at defense

It is certainly regressing. He was at least giving effort earlier, blocking shots. Now he is back to standing around
