*The Official 2011-12 NBA Thread*

Spo and LeBron standing together excited at the action is hilarious.

 

He is an elite SF, when he wants to be.

 

When it's all said and done Lebron will have more rings than Carloser that's for sure.

 

He's an elite scorer when he wants to be. That's not the same as being an elite basketball player.

 

And yet he's winning.

 

What does it say about CarmelLo if Boik is right and he "elevated" Denver in a tougher conference but can only take his team to a #7 seed in the East.

 

As opposed to the mindless and baseless hyping of the Knicks as a legitimate playoff-caliber team?

Knicks fans are right up there with Jets fans as the last group in the world that should complain about disproportionality.

 

Thats too big a word for them.

 

The problem with Anthony Boik is that he doesn't make anyone around him better. It's ALL about Melo in his head. It was that way in Denver and it's that way in New York. I'm not saying this as someone anti-Knick. I'm saying it as someone who hates watching talented players not care.

 

lawl

Ok Skip.

 

He's the Terell Owens of Basketball.

 

The Lebron clank is an myth. You sound like Skip Bayless, and its not a compliment.

 

I didnt even see your post when I said he sounded like Skip. Great minds, they think alike.

 

That's being extremely generous.

 

If you keep crying your beer is gonna get salty.

 

No, you said the Knicks would be fine as soon as "Coach Pringles" was fired, thus expressing faith in the roster as a viable construction that just needed a different guy running shootarounds.

And we don't even need to get in to the Linsanity toilet swirling.

 

My satellite is out thanks to the rain...I don't see any Heat fans making excuses...is it still DD?

 

If you go on CBS's gametracker you'll see many a Knick fan making excuses.

and yeah its still double digits.

 

Anyone who wants to goto ESPN.com and hear Cowherds segment on Melo will get a very good breakdown of Melo.

 

4,019 days and counting since the Knicks last won a playoff game.

This is physically impossible.

 

Great ball movement tonight

 

Oh Eric Reed, you kow there's not gonna be a game 5...

BUT LEBRON DOESNT HIT GAME WINNERS!! WAAAAHHHH

 

Wow DOLFAN4LIFE just told me that Jeremy Lin is better than any point guard on the Miami Heat...Wow..thoughts, he will read this.....

 

http://www.82games.com/gamewinningshots.htm

Anthony has a higher shooting percentage on game winners, but Lebron is HIGHER THAN WADE.

But but but Wade is the clutch one....

 

So


How long until someone else on the Knicks groused that they are a better team than Miami?

 

No, the Knicks are not a better team. They are the same team, just one that happens to have moved the pendulum from 100% offense to 90% offense and 10% defense. Woodson has done a nice job as an interim coach, I suppose, since he got Melo to at least pretend to play defense. But that isn't the same as improving the team.

The Knicks are still awful.

 

Really because I posted stats proving what you said is false.

 

He's a better scorer but I dont think he's a good true PG you want running your team. I'd love to have Lin off the bench as a scoring threat but his TO's and score first mentality make me not want him running the point.

 

Oh yes they do. Awful teams can have great stretches but still be awful. Evidence: the Boston Celtics and the Atlanta Hawks.

 

I agree you aren't an awful team. I expect you'll finish with the #3 or #4 seed next season. I wouldnt say you're a good team either though.
