I Can Understand Why Amare Let Loose

Granted, he made a huge mistake but we don't know what he's thinking. His brother died in a car accident. That can be very traumatic.

Let's also remember, when the Knicks signed Stoudemire, he was a superstar in his first year with NY and everyone was chanting MVP. Melo is a great offensive player but is a negative regarding his teammates performances.

People are too quick to bash him. Death hits hard and maybe his dignity as a man is getting to him as another player (Anthony) just takes over. People have moments where they want to go crazy. Better the extinguisher than another person like Metta jackazz

come to think of it, ever since his brother died, he has an angry look on his face everytime he accomplishes something (scoring a basket). Maybe the guy is hurting inside...he wasn't a trouble maker---this is his free pass for me as a Knicks fan

[allabout the $$$]

the way the knicks were playing when stoudamire was out they should have had him coming off the bench with the 2nd team give them 2 scoring options with him and jr smith when he came back the knicks were winning and playing good ball while he was out

Stoudemire's a fungus.
NYKs are 11 points better per 100 scored without Stoudemire
playing.

He just misunderstood when the coach told him to attack the glass more ... leave him alone

He might be out for rest of series apparently?

Stoudemire did not get hammered much after this

Guy is pretty well liked so got free pass

to his difficulties with melo on the floor:
do not forget that amare played like an mvp for the knicks before melo was acquired. he was a true leader. I would prefer a solid playing amare any time over a solid playing melo..

[jsmithj88]

i dont buy that excuse at all. he was frustrated that his team lost so he smashed something.

Amare more well like than melo

melo is a bad guy

gets dantoni fired then pretends like everything was ok between the two

major character issues with melo

funniest thing is when lin blew up and melo was out knicks leaked a story that melo suggested the idea to dantoni to give lin a shot with playing time

what a joke. melo is a bad guy
