S.T.A.T. line

Amaré Stoudemire played 31 minutes Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers in Las Vegas, but D'Antoni was more interested in what he could do Monday. He liked what he saw.

"He played 30 minutes, and in here (Monday) he looks like a young pup," D'Antoni said. "He followed it up with another good day. He's got to keep getting better."

Stoudemire was encouraged, too.

"Another good day in the books," he said. "Just another day at the office."

Stoudemire said he would get a massage, treatment and put in a swimming workout.

"It's not bad," Stoudemire said of his stroke.

So, is he ready to take on Tim Duncan, who was a swimmer before turning to basketball when a storm destroyed the pool in which he trained?

"No, that guy's a bona fide swimmer," Stoudemire said. "I do it just to stay in shape."

I wondered how he'd feel Monday morning. That's good news.

Yeh, mondays are always the toughest.

Not that it means anything, but that tool Hollinger just put up his player rankings for 2006-2007. Shawn is #15, but he had Amare at #4! IN THE ENTIRE LEAGUE! #4!!??

I like to have some optimism over his coming back, but Amare at #4 in the entire league? That puts him ahead of Dwyane Wade and Kevin Garnett. And of course his blurb is that there are a lot of questions, how does that justify such a high ranking, especially when considering statistics, of which he has NONE in 2005-2006??

Guess he's just a pure Suns fan.
