As much as I'd love to lambaste Amar'e Stoudemire for his on and off-court conduct, I give the guy a pass. Fresh off another brutal loss to Miami, ensconced in the ashes of a charred season, Stoudemire tried to muscle his way out of a mental problem.
Let's move past the idiocy surrounding Amar'e Stoudemire's postgame temper tantrum. Blame should not be laid at the feet of any individual player.
The New York Knicks lost a game, then might have lost their center right after. Dwyane Wade scored 25 points, Chris Bosh added 21 and the Miami Heat beat New York 104-94 on Monday night, sending the Knicks to an NBA-record-tying 12th straight postseason loss.

The Knicks snapped a nine-game home winning streak as they fell to the Heat 93-85 on Sunday.
Right now the basketball hopes of entire basketball city are sitting squarely on Carmelo Anthony's shoulders.
When the Lakers lose, it's on Kobe. Likewise with LeBron in Miami. But when the Knicks lose, it's the team, the time, or the coach.
LeBron James scored 21 points and capped his night by banking in a halfcourt shot, Chris Bosh added 20 points and the Miami Heat snapped a two-game slide by rolling past the New Jersey Nets 108-78 on Tuesday night.

Jeremy Lin has been the NBA's biggest story this month, but the focus shifted back to Dwight Howard, where it began this season, with the NBA's midseason event in the city he insists he loves but wants to leave.
