We have all just about forgotten how good Amare was in Pheonix and then his first half season in New York. Dominant physical specimen! Then through a series of things including his inabiity to adjust to Melo, injury and personal issues he almost overnight became a shell of himself. Seemed like he forgot how to play basketball !
But he has persevered, has been patient (at least outwardly) and has continued to work hard. Lo and behold, he is showing signs of the old Amare. Quickness, strength, great spring, low post game, hitting the offensive glass and making the mid-range jumper. Last night his "D" was terrific too. So is he back? Can he continue it ? Where will he land next year? All questions that only time will tell.
For now, please just keep him in the starting lineup and let him play 30 plus minutes a night...And coach, why are you benching him the last 7 minutes of the 4th?
Ok, 3 straight..Remain calm.
