Well, this sure didn't take long...
The Knicks' prized free agent acquisition (Amare Stoudemire) was livid after Sunday night's loss to the Rockets that came two days after a meltdown in Minnesota, where New York blew a 21-point lead in a loss to the Timberwolves. "I don't understand why we're not playing with the urgency. ... It's almost as if it doesn't matter," Stoudemire said after the team's fifth straight loss. "Maybe it's the fact that the winning mentality has never been here. I'm used to winning. Used to talking about winning. We just can't have guys complacent and comfortable with losing. I keep saying that (WEEI)."
Knicks are a tough team to figure out. On certain nights they can light you up, but they are just as likely to get blown out. Actually, it really isn't that hard to figure out. They don't play any defense, so unless they are on fire there is no shot for them winning.
Stoudemire probably needs to be the leader of this team, but he has to be one of the softest big men in the league on defense. I have seen 2-3 Knicks games this year and for someone with his size and ability he sure has no impact on defense. A lot of times I feel he is running away from contact, so maybe he should look in the mirror before blowing up on his team.
