Game Thread: Suns (23-16) at Knicks (16-24)

... it. Including tonight’s contest, three of the final four games are against teams with winning percentages of .400 or worse, so if the Suns can win this one and at least two (if not three) more, then it will be easier to forget what happened in Boston.
One quick prediction for this contest, I think Amare will play a “gorilla game” after getting beaten down by a Boston defense geared to stop him.
Amare has taken a beating here and here and here and of course from yours truly. His rebounding and help-side defense ...

... are the answer (adios Amare?,) I do not know. What I do know is after going 8-3 with a couple of tough losses in the first eleven games after adding Jason Richardson to the equation, the Suns are since 1-4. Obviously it has been a rough stretch on the road with games against the Nuggets and Celtics, and five games is a small sample size, but it is getting to the point where one has to wonder how good this team really is. ...
Pick and Roll: Amare grabs some pine
Fanster.com —
It’s been a rough week, Suns fans. Our team stinks at the moment. They stink bad. They stink real bad. In this week’s Pick and Roll, Steve Fan and I once again channel our inner Sam Smith to pull an idea out of thin air. We jump on the Amare Stoudemire dogpile and send him to the bench in an effort to shake things up and light a fire under the Suns.

Either way, you can't not watch.
Then there's dear Raja Bell who from talking to Dave at Rufus ...

(too late, Amare posterized.....Blatche almost curled up like Kyle Korver ) 8:06: Blatche gets rejected and handled by Shaq....must be the headband because there that thing goes. 8:02: Nick Young early entry for McGuire.....interesting.

... Asked if he could imagine Kerr liquidating the Suns and starting over again, Nash confessed. “I can imagine that,” he said. “I don’t think that’s out of the realm of possibility. I would imagine that we’ll be together, but if you look at it, it’s 50-50. We could make a great run at this year, or they could find an opportunity to start afresh. We’ve got a lot of older guys in here.”
We've explored the idea of trading Amare and discussed who he might be dealt for but we haven't really got into ...
