Amar'e and Shump Shump Likely to Return

ESPN New York's Ian Begley is reporting that Amar'e Stoudemire and Iman Shumpert are both "likely" to suit up for tonight's game against the Charlotte Bobcats, looking no worse the wear in 3-on-3 drills this morning. This should provide enormous relief to a Knicks roster that appeared to be stretched very thin in Monday's loss to the Raptors.

Stoudemire will bolster the badly undermanned frontline, that saw Steve Novak log some minutes at power forward (a "super duper stretch 4"). Shumpert, who AY noted will give us all 12 embolisms this season (the Vegas Hilton has the over under at 10.5, take the over and thank me later) with his devil-may-care shot selection, is also sorely needed so that the Knicks can stop playing recently departed Walking Dead extra Mike Bibby.
