    Amare Stoudemire is still in some pain, nearly two months after the All-Star power forward pulled a back muscle in Game 2 of the New York Knicks' first-round series against Boston."My back is sore. It's a bit tight," said Stoudemire, who made a promotional appearance Wednesday at Chelsea Piers in Manhattan.The injury initially was characterized as back spasms before it was discovered that Stoudemire had pulled a muscle. But it was still considered a day-to-day setback. In fact, before Game 4 against the Celtics on April 24, Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni didn't seem too concerned."When I saw him and saw how relieved and good he felt, I had a lot less doubt today than I did," D'Antoni said at the time.
