I feel bad for Amare Stoudemire.
Today he was rightly lambasted for being on the wrong end of a fight with a fire extinguisher, as The Wall Stree Journal so colorfully illustrates.
The resulting laceration of his palm likely ends his season two or three games early and puts the Knicks one more player down in a [...]

PHOENIX — As linsane as these past seven games have been for the Knicks’ newest star, it surely seems sacrilegious to compare him to Steve Nash when Mr. Linsanity owns less career starts than Two Time has All-Star berths, a notion that has been bandied about in the media and by no less an authority [...]

Amare Stoudemire finds no playoff success away from Phoenix; Hedo Turkoglu, J-Rich also struggling

So as it turns out Amare Stoudemire ended up winning as many playoffs games as Steve Nash this year.
That was the case after the Boston Celtics finished off Amare’s New York Knicks this afternoon in a series that was very competitive in Boston but not so much in Madison Square Garden.
Stoudemire’s advanced stats were beyond [...]
