Man. If Amare can't see what's going on and get with THIS program....
I've been one to say we can be better with out Amare. But I've been thinking about how much longer we have him under contract and how much we spending and I've come around to thinking Amare can help us.
Obviously the PG play will be an advantage for STAT and he'll be getting a lot of easy buckets for us. Even though J.R. Is playing really well for us, he still can over iso himself when Melo isnt out there, I think a second unit of him and Amare as the #1 option would be effective and more efficient.
The most important thing for Amare will be the defense. And unfortunately that's his worst skill on the court. But if THIS kind of effort from his teammates doesn't rub off....

I think the veteran bigs will hold Amare accountable tho. Especially Sheed.

Listen G, Amare is going to be good man. Amare is completely dependent on PG's, whenever Jason Kidd and Felton are on the court he is going to be just fine. His game thrives on ball movement and P&R's, the way our PG's have been playing adapt nicely. I can't wait to see Felton and Amare together. When our jumpshots stop falling we're going to need Amare. His defense can hold us back but he'll have to get on page if he wants to start.
Their is nothing we can do about Amares contract, we just have to accept that. It needs to work with Amare, it can only make us a better team. I honestly can't wait, no one even knows when he's coming back.

Novak comes in and the defense doesn't immediately implode around him. Amare is not a worse defender
the issue with him is straight up health, fit, and to a lesser extent ego
we all know amare will be forced into the starting line up. Now if he fails in that role, will he take being on the 2nd unit with JR and prigs?
I just dont think amare can physically play hard nosed defense. He will get injured quickly

CoupIt- I agree. I'm just both really excited about the potential of this team plus Amare and really excited about this teams potential without him. 
At the end of the day I don't think Amare can disturb the teams chemistry enough, if at all, that they aren't playing d anymore.
It's taking some time but I'm slowly anticipating his return and I'm almost comfortable with it.

Loving what I'm seeing so far.
We have ALL the components to an elite team, we just need to keep consistent.
Woodson is a damn good coach from both a motivational and management perspective.
Melo will be an MVP frontrunner, JR is a different player/best 6th man in the L, Our PG play is EXCELLENT and the vets especially Sheed are playing unbelievable.
Like I said before, I'm looking forward to Shump coming back more than Amar'e. STAT will lessen our defensive intensity, guaranteed. It's not only that doesn't know how to guard opposing players but with his knees he physically can't. That's gonna be Woody's biggest challenge, how to integrate Amar'e and hide his weakness without damaging his ego.
Well fellas....after a decade + of agony...this season and going forward is our reward.
NYK BASKETBALL IS BACK

And dub... Novak is usually guarding a perimeter player. So it's easier to hide his flaws on d. Also he still works hard and gives an effort.
I don't want to go backwards in my progress... But we can't forget how Amare basically takes pictures when someone gets the basket and is about to score.
Like I said though. I don't think he will be able to be lazy with the vet bigs we have.

that JR video was too much
Nice to see Melo not playing 40 minutes yet, good to have depth and give guys rest.
Vets may last a season at this pace.
Knicks will need Amare if they want a chance at anything, and at 100% .

One of my favorite things so far is the 3rd quarter isn't a disaster for the team. They're +24 I believe in 3rd quarters through 4 games.
