Amare Stoudemire after 10 point lost to the Heat Monday night and on the way back to the locker room he decided to take his frustration out on a glass box that contained a fire extinguisher and punch it hard and the glass box and fire extinguisher won the fight hands down as his left needed 15 stitches and is now questionable for the rest of the playoffs. So it looks like Amare can not stand the heat in the big apple and him and his 100 million dollar contract will be wanting out of town after the season is finished this weekend. The reason why Amare is frustrated because the combo of Carmelo and himself is not working as Carmelo is taken too many shots as took 26 shots in Monday game and made 3 field goals in the second half and after having 21 first half points and then only had 9 in the second half and they are under 500 when both played in a game. This season when Amare did not play with the Knicks they have a record of 14-5 and most of those wins were with both of the front line players sideline and Jeremy Lin dominated the league and helped the team put together a win streak that got them into the playoffs and gave enough of a cushion to make the playoffs and helped Mike D'Antino keep his job a little bit longer.
In the end the Knicks are needing a different bunch of players to get a better playoff spot and actually win a playoff game as they have not won a playoff game since 2001 and have lost their last 12 playoff games and the Knicks will need to get either Carmelo or Amare needs to sent packing and build better around the other one.
