Last night, Amare Stoudemire proved that he's not just about talking tough, he's about doing tough things. Not on the court, of course. Instead, he likes attacking inanimate objects like a fire extinguisher case. He suffered lacerations and is reportedly out for the rest of the series.

STAT is now responsible for one of the biggest fails in NBA playoff history and he was ethered via the Interwebs. Here's how Twitter Reacted to Amare Stoudemire vs. the Fire Extinguisher.

Way to have a glass half full mindset, Pat. Safety comes first. Before winning, being a good teammate, not being an idiot, costing your team any shot they had in the playoffs, the fans...

@AAAExtinguisher

This ain't what you want, Amare.

@Amareisreal

DMX said it best.

@WestPhillyFreck

Struggle braids will do that to ya.

We'd bet $200. This is Chris Bosh we're talking about.

Caption: I have a joke!....What did the fire extinguisher say to Amare Stoudemire to make him hit it and break his hand?

Word of advice: Never start your joke out with "I have a joke!"

@DrunkBarney

AND YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO TURN OFF YOUR CAPS LOCK DOE!

@BigE_da_Drummer

DirecTV's ad team needs to hit this dude up STAT. #punsonpunsonpuns

@SiC151

Did they really have a chance in this series? You watched Saturday's game, right?

@san859

Yup, and we blame A.I.'s gambling problem on his du-rag being tied too tight.

@LoveRance

Good question. Instead of the fire extinguisher, dude should've beat his stylist up, up, up...

@ChivesMcGee

Let's not forget about iso Joe Johnson, but the sentiment holds true. You should have to take a bonehead test before any being given any $100 million contract.

@KDotForbes

Well that's kind of counterintuitive.

If only this was coming from the real Brian Scalabrine, it would be so much sweeter.

@BillHall_III

"And still, your heavyweight champion of the world, the Fire Extinguisher!" *Michael Buffer voice*

@Rachel__Nichols

Caption: Fire extinguisher Amare punched was in a hallway between the Knicks locker room and the court. Blood on carpet.

Was that really necessary, Rachel Nichols? This clearly proves it happened exactly how it was reported.

@DennisDMZ

Now that's the type of humor that would be great on Monday Night Football. Wait he already did that and tragically failed? Our bad.

@MikeHillESPN

Ah, we see what you did there Mike, very clever. Even more clever, somebody finding this clip of you dancing on First Take.

@RacistJuan

Yeah, him and the guy who told you that Twitter handle was a good idea.

@awfulannouncing

Considering what JaVale McGee has done this season, that should definitely tell you something, Amare.

@thecajunboy

What, you young'ns didn't know that the Knicks used to be gully back in the day?

@jar155

Caption: Well, this is why the Internet exists.

Truer words haven't ever been spoken.

@AAAExtinguisher

Finally, we know what inspired the melee. Not cool Amar'e, not cool.
