Amare the cancer? Why do knicks lose (or almost lose) to crappiest teams in league?

[VeeCee15]

Why do they almost lose to raptors..and lose the the hornets with AMARE back in lineup?

Must be his terrible defense..?

[keep-itreal]

that last minute where amare hedged too far out and left his man compeltely wide open towards the basket

prior that, Lin had a steal and scored. it was a 2 pt game. He could have won that game if Amare had any iq

[Clutch]

His defense is extremely bad.

We could somehow get over it if he was scoring 30 points a game or something close but he sucks at offense too this season.
Not exactly "sucks" but playing well below standard for him.

Trade his ass,not Melo's.
He's a much bigger defensive liability and he's the one who's regressing out of those two.
Last season he at least blocked some shots. Look at him now. 0.8 blocks per game.

[Teanett]

there were a couple of plays where he fukked up defensively.
the knicks looked better with jeffries!!!
but to be honest, new york would have won if chandler could hit free throws and somebody could hit an open three.

[A globe-trotter]

He plays absolutely no defense.

[iDefend5]

Amare just sucks this season on both ends.

[Teanett]

let's not forget shump's three brainfart turnovers and "and1"-foul.

I don't think you can blame this loss on Amar'e... What about Lin's 9 turnovers? Also Amar'e is not the only one on the team who struggles on defense.

It was just an overall bad game for the knicks.

he's a great offensive player.

Knicks fans talking like they did not know Amare was a disastrous defender from the get go. Let's face it, you Knicks fans are the worst type of fans in the NBA and deserve this mediocre team you got.

man, that really hurt.

[Walker]

Surely everyone knows by now what to expect from STAT.
Yeah he's gonna screw up on D but he's also a game changer on offence.
Been that way his entire career, why would it change now?

I know everyone has rose-coloured glass on when it comes to Lin right now and don't get me wrong, I like the kid too. However he's not ready to be a PG(note PG, not player) in the NBA. His playmaking abilities are sorely lacking as a whole.
Great scorer, would be a nasty small SG, PG? Not yet.

[alenleomessi]

he is too busy getting shit tattoos

No one is blaming this loss solely on Amare.

Whole team played horrible and somehow we only lost by a few points.

Lin was turning the ball over too much,Shumpert made a bunch of stupid decisions,Novak was missing wide open threes,Fields was horrible,Walker couldn't have hit an ocean.

Basically the whole team except Tyson and Jeffries played as bad as they possibly can.

Amare wasn't bad on offense but his defense cost us the game. But so did Lin's 9 turnovers,Novak's missed threes,Shumperts bonehead decisions...
