Knicks coach Mike Woodson spoke with the frustrated Amar’e Stoudemire, and both agreed it was time to increase the forward’s workload.
In practice.
At this point, Stoudemire — who underwent three knee surgeries in 10 months, most recently this summer — will try anything. After all, he said, playing in five-minute bursts is useless. So maybe more practice time would mean more game time.
“It’s tough to play five minutes and expect to be great in five minutes. It’s almost impossible,” Stoudemire said Saturday before the Knicks were blasted 110-90 by the Hawks. “It’s hard for myself, hard for him (Mike Woodson) to coach."
