Amare in 2010 was the best single player Knick star we've had since Ewing, I think Amare was even better than Melo is now in 2010, just my opinion.

Man, I'm as thankful as anyone for those 3-4 months, but you're insane.

Nah no way. I see us sliding into the playoffs. I think we can compete, just gotta work out the kinks.

Yes, our defense is trash, but you get rid of JR Smith and 1 of Amare & Bargnani, and you bring in some defense, and we can win 50 games or so.

Right now I see us at around 40-43 wins

How am I insane? Amare played some of the best basketball of his life early in his Knicks tenure. When Melo got here he regressed greatly.

I think Amare is a shell of his former self now, but in 2010? He was a top 3 PF in the league and close to a top 10 player in the league.

bargs isn't the problem, he won't complain if he rides the pine all year

smith and amare will complain if they only get 15 minutes a night

Let's just hope Calderon is OK.

I hate preseason!

I was a bit harsh, but I don't think he was on Melo's level at any point that year.

OJ Mayo gave work to JR & Shump tonight.He shot open threes from tip off to the late 4th quarter.Matter fact, throw THJ in there too.He wasn't closing out on 3s either.

All the great minds in human history were off their rocker, too

I'm just saying if we had 2010 Amare in 2014, the Knicks would win 50 games with minimal effort. He was great. Undoubtedly the best player we had since Ewing.

Yes, Melo is great, probably the best scorer in the league, but Amare was playing basketball at an elite level before it all went downhill (And it went downhill super fast)

He's missed so many cuts, though.

Well, he's definitely got a lot to improve on. I'd rather play Jason Smith & Quincy Acy instead of STAT & Bargs, to be brutally honest.

we scored exactly 1 (one) basket in the last 5 (five) minutes of the game, for a grand total of 2 (two) points.

bleh.

I don't think I'd be out of line saying Henson would be our best big by far if he was on this team. He doesn't even start on the worst team in the league last year.

2015 can't come fast enough. B/W the draft pick and the cap space it's obvious where our focus will be. Also, we'll cement that frontcourt with the cap space in 2016.

blueNorange · Post #840 » by **blueNorange** » Tue Oct 21, 2014 2:13 am

little known fact, 2010 amare played below his career averages

didn't shoot for a high percentage(56% with suns vs 50% is a big difference) and a lot more turnovers
