Stop blowing Jeremy Lin, it’s only been 5 games
Coming into this lockout shortened season, no one thought that the Knicks were in the championship conversation, but when they added Tyson Chandler's defense to Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire's offense it appeared as though they were taking steps in the right direction.

Emotional Stoudemire eulogizes brother
In the end, the pain was too much to bear. Amar'e Stoudemire rarely shows emotion on the basketball court, and those close to him say he had not cried since he was 12, when his father died. But Stoudemire could not hold back any longer.
As he spoke Saturday at his brother Hazell's funeral at the First Baptist Church in Lake Wales, Fla., a flood of feelings came forth.
