Knicks’ Amar’e Stoudemire returning Tuesday?

US PresswireAmar'e Stoudemire was supposed to be the savior of the New York Knicks. Instead, the Big Apple's basketball fans have fallen in the past week for point guard Jeremy Lin, who has led the team to its season-high five-game winning streak.

Stoudemire has missed the last four games as he mourned the sudden death of his brother. Now he may be back in the lineup for the team Tuesday when it takes on the Toronto Raptors Tuesday "if he is mentally and physically ready," according to the New York Post.

There is some fear that the return of Stoudemire could upset the chemistry of the team's winning ways, the paper notes, though you'll never hear that from Lin. Meanwhile, the Post notes that it remains unclear when Carmelo Anthony, who has been out with a groin strain since Feb. 6, will return to the lineup.

"When they come back, I don't know how long or even if there will be an adjustment period, but I think obviously they're two of the top players in the league," Lin said, according to the Post. "We just have to find a way to quickly come together and ride this momentum. … We don't know how good we'll be. The potential is there."

    Yes, like everyone said, Amare thrives in PnR, and now with Lin at the helm it should be a more seamless transition. I even think Melo in the lineup things will be just as good since he doesn't have run the point and end up creating his own shots (iso melo ball). But I guess we'll see!

    Amare will be better with Lin. Not that Lin is Nash but he needs a gaurd to play pick and roll and give him the ball in his sweet spot. Now when Mello comes back....that might be an adjustment, but its on him to make it not Lin if the ball stops with him his "elite" status is over but if he works with the team like a true winner then the sky is the limit for the Knicks

    Amare will be very good if he plays pick and roll with Lin. Anthony could be traded if he still struggle.

    Simple formula for Knicks: Lin and Stoudemire running pick and roll. Get it to Melo for late in the shot clock situations and in transition.

    When Melo returns, NY will start losing again.

    I'm pretty sure that Stat and Lin could work well together, however, the concern is 'Melo who is not a team player and he's hard to coach. Melo is the forward version of A.I. and Stephon Marbury (remember them?). Great players but do not play as a team, instead they're hot dogs who want to stand on their own. Once all three are on the court, we'll know where the Knicks stand. Lin came as a blessing to the Knicks, being that glue that everyone can rub on. They better not waste a valuable opportunity.

      A.I -Averaged 6.2 assist per game for his entire career. including the last 2 " washed up " seasons he had with Philly and Detroit -

      he averaged 7.5 assists a game his first season & 6.2 his second season..
      It was Philly who asked A.I to score more since they had really no other option..

      its funny how you feed off all the crap you get from the media
      and then talk like you know what you are talking about , funny guy!

      watch the game - see how the players play, do not just read about it from yahoo and espn. then start acting like you know how it is.

      not to mention he averaged 23 points and 2 steals a game along with that 7.5 assist per game in his rookie season, so yea talk about a non team player!

      Tim Hardaway , considered as one of the NBA's best PG, averaged 8.2 assist his entire career. now he is a team player because he was not covered in Tattoos, and did not have corn rows in the early 90's.,.

      If you paired up A.I with someone like Alonzo Morning, he woudnt have had to score as much and his assist per game would go up by a bunch! and also his FG%
