STOUDEMIRE FEELS THE STRESS

Things had not been rosy for the New York Knicks since the big trade last month. The team has struggled lately which included a six-game losing streak in which they were able to arrest following the overtime win over the Orlando Magic. The Apple City outfit has won only six of their last 17 outings. Knicks superstar big man Amare Stoudemire has not been his usual dominant self lately. Could it be wear and tear? Stoudemire, who had been bothered by hip and foot injuries, says the 18-game March schedule is so far the hardest month in his pro career, according to ESPN.

“It's been maybe the hardest month I've played in my career. So many games, so many back-to-backs. And then they threw in the makeup game [for the November game against Orlando canceled due to an asbestos scare] in this month.

“So it was very, very tough. And on top of that, we're trying to get used to our new teammates. So it was a tough one for us.”
