I posted this in a thread on the Spurs board, but figured it deserved one of its own over here.

It’s official.
Suns forward Amaré Stoudemire will return to action tonight at home against Portland — as a starter.
“We want to warm him up,” Suns coach Mike D’Antoni said after the Suns’ shootaround at US Airways Center this morning. “He’ll probably go the first three to four minutes and we’ll see how it goes and how he goes. We want to win games.”
Stoudemire has not played this season after undergoing microfracture surgery on his left knee in October.
wow, good luck to him
wow...it'll be interesting to see how the Suns close out the season...now that game against the Pistons will be even more interesting.
He can finally play. That's good news for him.
I wonder how he spent all this time though....doing push-ups???![]()
Good luck. I'll get the 'ol League Pass going in-between the NCAA games.
I can't wait to see him out there. It should be interesting even if it isn't for long.
His name is Stoudemire! The only reason why I make such a big deal about this is because the Grizzlies have been struggling mightily without Damon Stoudamire (achilles), and Salim Stoudamire in Atlanta appears to be done for the season.
I thought the heart and soul of the most underrated team in the league was back, and then I learned it was about Amare Stoudemire, who is more likely to make a Alonzo Mourning-in-2001 impact on his team (50-32, but .500 down the stretch, and swept by the Charlotte Hornets in the first round) than propel them to the Finals.
Deal with it. Nobody's going to get the a vs. e thing consistently right for his entire career.
Speaking of which, WTF is it with that name? Does anyone know someone named Stoude/amire who doesn't ball?
Salim is Damon's cousin.
Yeah, I knew that. And there's a Patrick who plays football in Oregon, so I figure he must be a relation, too.
Also, both Damon and Salim went to Arizona, and Amare plays for Phoenix.
Stoudamire must mean "plays hoops where it's friggin hot" in some language.
It's like the Wayans family.
11 points in 6 minutes.
He definitely looks rusty, doesn't have quite the same explosiveness, but his shot is falling tonight inside and out of the paint. It's great to have him back.
I know this is cold hearted but I will laugh when he crumbles. The Phoenix organization deserves it for pushing him to come back so soon.
Very classy.![]()
If they didn't rush him back i'd wish him no harm, but they deserve to lose their gamble.
You are totaly ignorant on the subject arnt you? First off lets start with amares injury the part of the knee that amare required surgry on was very small and in a low weight bearing area , Amare has healed very fast , all his MRI's have show positive cartalige build up. He has been cleared to play by doctors , and his PT( Who do this for a living by the way ) for almost 4 weeks. Amare is physicaly and mental ready to come back so why the shouldnt he?
Now lets look at his line for tonight: 13 points 5-10 6 boards and 2 blocks in 14 minutes.
You sir , are a damn fool!
15 points 7 boards 2 blocks shooting 50 %
7-14 fg 6-7 ft 20 pts 9 rebs 2 blks in 20 mins
Amare finished with:
20 pts
9 reb
2 blk
7-14 FG
19 minutes
....... interesting...
The game against Denver on Saturday will be just as interesting. The Nuggets better not beat him up. :p
Oooh. Where are they playing?
