Shooting UNDER 40%, averaging 6.25 TURNOVERS a game, 4.75 PERSONAL FOULS a game, and still not playing defense.

All for the low, discount price of $100mil.

5 games guys. It takes a minute to get used to new mates, and all that stuff. He'll be fine...

they haven't been hitting their outside shots till last game, but if they can keep some of that up, things should start opening up inside for Amar'e. So far teams have been making them shoot and until the Bulls, nobody has had to pay for it.

What does outside shooting have to do with nearly 5 fouls a game, over 6 turnovers a game, and a team's big free agent signing who happens to be a big man hitting less than 40% of his shots.

5 games is enough for me to call it a career. Amar'e's a bust. He's done. He's nothing without Nash. $100mil flushed down the toilet.

The Knicks are anybody's guess right now. They could end up missing the playoffs by a mile or getting the 4th-5th seed. Trade ya Brewer and a draft pick for Gallinari...

frustration, trying to live up to his status as the Big Knick Signing. It'll get better. I don't think its just Nash, but he does need great play from his teammates to open things up for him. Don't know that he's going to get that from that roster though. I would have liked to see him go to the Heat instead of Bosh.

I'm not worried about Amare's play. It's his knees that will always be an issue and he's playing 36 mpg.

Don't worry ... Melo is enroute.

I have to watch the game thread where Big Al plays against the knicks. NY fans are going to set off a nuke when Al drops 40 on Amare's chin.
