Amare Stoudemire said on Tuesday that Lamar Odom's 19 points and 19 boards on Monday were a result of luck.

"I'm not giving him no hype right now; he had a lucky game in Game 1," Stoudemire said of Odom. Alvin Gentry said Stoudemire's comments were "ridiculous," while Odom didn't take the 'war of words' bait. "So be it," Odom said. "Hopefully I can have another lucky one." This was obviously a poor decision by Amare and his teammates have probably let him have it. And if they haven't, this series is probably over.
