The Official Knicks offseason thread

[23Barrettcity]

good, this is what i wanna see from him too.

i was also on the, "Melo is not in great shape" boat, and my friends were getting on me all year for it...calling me a hater or whatever.

but even Woodson co-signed it towards the end of the season.

if he's on the Olympic team, that'll be the best thing to happen to him. last time in 2008 when he was on the team, he came out & had his best reg. season on an MVP level until he got hurt in January '09.

this will keep him focused & in shape...and i hope the turmoil this past season is enough motivation as it is anyway.

Melo is in shape just not cut up like bron . He might need to increase his cardio for transition other than that he was good. Look at wade the man is cut and playing older than Garnett

Was told by a source familiar w/ the Early Bird Rights hearing that the players' union (meaning the #Knicks as well) will NOT win the case.

Yeah, it's been a known fact that they weren't winning this case - for months now.

Amare's offense is fine he put up 20 and 10 with a fukked up hand on the heat. The amare hate gotta stop, sounding like bytches and shyt. One thing Amare can do is SCORE. I cosign talkofnewyork if he focuses on his D and people actually pass Amare the ball where he can put work in we'll be straight. It seemed at times last season when melo was on the court they would chuck Amare, we need to force feed melo and stat they should be getting atleast 15 shots a game each.

Amare needs to get in shape though. This is a fact.

I agree with 23. If anything.... the added muscle contributed to his back injury. Why did he add muscle..because he was playing center and didn't know about chandler. Why was he playing center ..well we know the answer to that

 

[FreshABM]

Amare is a hard worker and always has been. You don't comeback from the injuries he's had without being one. Now what he needs to work on is what he needs direction in. Which he got none of because of _____ you know his name..

Get in shape doesn't mean gain muscle

What do you mean then?? I'm confuse that's the reason he played bad he always works out and has a personal chef to eat healthy

I don't know if your trying to troll me or what. If not... stick to baseball bro Are you talking about cardio?? Explain yourself. Do you know how many players weren't in shape do to the lockout?? You can talk about 75% of the league why are you singling out Amare? Do you remember when melo and Amare played in Lebron charity game? Thats when Amare first started playing ball again. Now if your knick fan you should know why. Now I'm done with you son. Get outside of your house.Go watch a game

That's the whole point stupid...Amare was one of those people

I did'nt make a thread about Amare Stoudamire "singling" him out. We're in a Knicks thread discussing Knicks players. Thus the comment.

BTW, when you don't exercise and maintain your body, you tend to get injured a lot more and injuries (should they occur) tend to linger. But you knew that right?

The fact that I even had to break down "get in shape" as strictly gaining muscle or strictly cardio says a lot.

Amar'e was never out of shape, he just wasn't in game shape cause he was out with injury. He came in with more muscle, but let's chill with the "out of shape" accusations
