Knicks: Will Santa Deliver Coal or a Healthy Amare Stoudemire?

The Knicks are checking if coal or Amare Stoudemire is under their tree, but why would Santa leave the Knicks anything less than a healthy Stoudemire? This season the Knicks have been as close to good behavior as possible and Stoudemire took it a step further by getting married in December. Could a return to the hardwood be Santa’s wedding gift to Stoudemire? Santa might punish the Knicks over their recent misconduct in a loss to the Chicago Bulls. How many chances does Santa give? Since three members of the Knicks were thrown out in that game. Can’t really make a case about the Knicks suffering without Stoudemire, since they have the second best record in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks have shared the basketball in the absence of Stoudemire. And have formed a cohesion many spectators assume Stoudemire will ruin. Don’t consider Stoudemire returning as the proverbial lump of coal, losses to the Bulls and Grizzlies, exposed the Knicks. Stoudemire is needed, as soon as possible. If Stoudemire should be gift wrapped with a reserve paper or given a starting bow is up to the Knicks head coach, Mike Woodson. Stoudemire hasn’t behaved naughty in the media, throwing subliminal shots at your organization is common these days. For a player to say openly they will accept their role is major, the Knicks have that in Stoudemire. A hardworking team that loses the battle on the glass every night needs another big body to at least attempt to halt the Knicks woes. Be honest, the first and second units, would benefit from the presence of Stoudemire. How many decoys and dominant scorers have ever hurt a team? But the question is will Santa see it the Knicks way and provide fans with an image of what is to come for this Knicks club. Stoudemire making this team unbeatable is more likely than the Knicks taking a step back because Stoudemire is in the lineup. I’m sure Stoudemire wants to prove that more than anything else in the world. So it isn’t all on Santa. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night. Follow Me on Twitter
