Stat Out 6 Weeks...

I really don't know how we've gotten back to this again, but Amar'e Stoudemire has had yet another setback with his injury woes and will require ANOTHER surgery to help his weak knee. I think everyone was caught off guard by this news because Stat had been playing so well as of late, but he's now expected to miss another 6 weeks of the season putting him on schedule to return around the beginning of the playoffs.

This is obviously not good news as his inside presence and dominance as of late has been much needed, but the Knicks are going to have to move forward without him. I get the feeling that Stat may not even return in 6 weeks but who really knows. The Knicks have also been without team star Carmelo Anthony the past few games, but we're hoping that this injury isn't too serious and that he can return soon. In any case, we must keep our heads high and continue to support the Knicks as they push towards the playoffs and onwards. Let's go Knicks!!!

Good News for My Knicks.

Iman Shumpert has made great leaps lately and is seemingly very close to playing again. Doctors told him that he is now cleared for full contact practice which means that he could be back in the lineup to some capacity in a matter of a weeks or even sooner. This is AWESOME news because Shumpert proved last year that he can be one of the best perimeter defensive players in the NBA despite his young age. Iman will mostly likely be eased back into the lineup like Stat has, but regardless, the thought of having an almost 100% healthy team is getting me so excited!! Hopefully Shump won't face any setbacks and can get back on the court soon because we definitely need his help. Smooches.

Knicks Early Season Update...

So I haven't written much about the Knicks since the beginning of the season mostly because they are doin' their thing so far this season. They currently sit at 11-4, tied with the Brooklyn Nets for the Atlantic Division lead, after they blew out the Washington Wizards last night at the Garden. The Knicks have been fairly consistent on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball, except for on that little road trip they had in Texas in which they gave up 131 points to the Houston Rockets. Melo has been BALLIN' and distributing the ball well, and J.R. has been surprisingly more consistent and not just settling for poor, out of control shots like he had been last season.

In terms of injuries, we are still waiting on the return of Iman Shumpert, Stat, and now Jason Kidd. The Kidd injury is recent and as of now doesn't seem too serious, while Shumpert still isn't expected back into the lineup till sometime in February or possibly later. The good news is that Stat is now expecting a come-back at the end of this month, and there is a chance that he may play as the Knicks travel to L.A. to face off against the Lakers on Christmas day!

Anyways, the Knicks need to keep up the good play and consistency on both sides of the ball because it appears that we could be up against a long-term battle against the Nets for the division lead. Oh, and we mustn't count those sneaky Celtics out of the picture as well. They are known for creepin' back into their strong form at crucial points in the season. Smooches to my Knicks!!

Amar'e Out for 6 Weeks...

The Knicks are expected to announce today that Amar'e Stoudemire will miss up to 6 weeks with no real timetable for a return because of his fucked up knee. This injury wasn't supposed to be serious, but it now appears that Stat could miss an extended period of time. This is obviously not good news mostly because there is probably not anyone that can fully replace him at power forward.

At the same time though, this dude has been consistently in and out of the lineup dealing with injuries for awhile now, and there's a chance that his absence could bring up the debate of whether he should be coming off the bench when he returns.

Although I don't think this is a realistic proposition simply based on how much money he's being paid, it seems to make a lot more sense. Stat & Melo have had trouble meshing together on the court, and that will not get any easier by throwing Amar'e back into the starting 5 mid-season. I think Melo could also play much better offensively at the power forward position in Amar'e's absence, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I do really hope Stat can make a strong comeback from injury, but I'm getting the feeling that his knee could be troubling him for awhile to come. Anyways, as stated previously, the Knicks season starts this Thursday at the Barclays Center against the Brooklyn Nets, so LET'S GO KNICKS!!!

AWESOME!!!!!!!

One of the Cowboys' best, young defensive players, Sean Lee is now lost for the season with a toe injury. Things just keep getting better and better!! This is a HUGE loss for us and hopes of turning this season around are getting less and less optimistic at this point. I'd have to say that we're pretty fucked now. The NBA season can't come soon enough for me, seriously. NO SMOOCHES TO THIS!!!!!
