Appears he is healing at his usual slow pace:
Didn't realize it had been almost 4 weeks already. Remember to factor in an additional 3 or 4 weeks (if the playoffs are any indication!) for him to get back up to speed. Very frustrating as he looked like he was ready to beast this season before he went down- damn his skinny legs!
Can't say I'm surprised. Have to hope our slumping players will start picking up the slack. Also time for Cole to get some minutes, so Stat gets less. He's been more of a ball stopper than Melo.

I don't think you can have Amar'e and bargs on your team- they both seem to turn the team defense to s***, so by playing both of them you ensure there are nearly 48 mins where the team defense stinks. Amar'es +/- numbers are very worrying.

Bargs has been productive on D, rebounding, blocking and scoring. He's played solid ,man to man d too all way scoring decently. Amare has had a negative impact on the game. Turnovers and missed shots to go with an unawareness on defense that is SHOCKING for a veteran.

I disagree about Barg's D. Has been doing a very good job against some of the best bigs in the league, and his team defense is improving. He's starting to remember to run back to his defender when he helps with a double team, lol. His defense has gotten better as has his game overall. I agree playing them both is a bad idea. Stat was -29 the last game.
Tyson makes bargs and Melo look better by his defense, he's the one guy the knicks can't afford to lose.
Tyson is the Dikembe Mutumbo (in his prime) of the Knicks this season.
