-@netw3rk: "You are really dumb" - Me signing Amar'e's cast
-@jimrome: Amar'e Stoudemire punched the glass to a fire extinguisher?! Use the axe, man. That's what it's there for.
-@MikeSielskiWSJ: Well, in fairness, it WAS an emergency.
-@LoHudKnicks: Woodson: "I would prefer not to talk about STAT's hand. Mostly because it has been amputated. Gonna leave this to the doctors."
-@jasonWSJ: Well, did Amar'e put out the locker room fire, or not?; Thank goodness all fire extinguisher fights are best-out-of-7.
-@PTI, and others: To his credit, Amare was attacking the glass.
-@EricStangel: Amar'e Stoudemire throws punch, cuts hand in locker room. Steiner Sports selling bloody fire extinguisher for $2,199...
-@TheBigLead: Hope it doesn't hurt his trade value
@russbengtson: Amar'e may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he sure knows how to find it and punch it, whatever it is.
@jdubs88: I'm thinkin this may be a "broken glass half full" moment for Knicks. Better w/out Amar'e?
And of course the fire extinguisher now has an account @AAAExtinguisher.
