Amare as the starting C makes me very, very sad.

This place is getting tense. I wouldn't be surprised to see, oh, say 200-300 more bans before the night is through.

THOR(n), where art thou?

Offensive balance. Defense is a team scheme.

You can't keep putting Melo in there alone on offense.

Calderon isnt exactly known for his defense. And forget about "offensive balance" Its all about the score. If you had to choose between a 10 point lead with very little offense or a 10 point deficit with alot of offense which do you choose? Ive seen this experiment before with amare at center it resulted in slightly higher scoring and the other team averaging 30 points a quarter.

does it?

The last time he played Center he was a beast....offensively.

The worst thing we ever did was try and put a real center next to him.

STAT
Acy
Melo
Shump
Jose

D'Antoni is hurt right now.

Don't be hurt.

STAT eats centers for lunch. I absolutely hate him as a PF though...

Eh, maybe if STAT starts he will give us something. Seems to play better when he starts, but I'm not holding my breath.

Because he is fully healthy this year, Amar'e says "My joy is there. My love of the game is there. I feel like I’m 19 again." #Knicks

i feel like my world is crumbling

Its probably the way to get the best out of Amare but his best isnt very good.
