    and....

    When the 2013 NBA Playoffs start...

    it will be at least 4,375 days since the Knicks last won a playoff series.

    Gotta keep another streak going.....

    Melo, as expected, is a spectacular scorer, but what does that mean for the rest of the team? A volume scorer taking every good look?

    Tyson Chandler is the DPOY. He also gets out of the way when D-Wade goes for a two handed dunk.

    One guy that shot terribly, but competed at a VERY HIGH level in this series, was JR Smith.

    The Knicks have plenty to work with and have three very good players. Gotta dump one of them to gain a different symmetry to the squad. It absolutely doesn't work to have a defensive specialist be a max player. Just my opinion.

    Carmelo Anthony is the first player since 2007, to take more than 30 shots and not have more than an assist in a playoff game.

    Agreed that Chandler has to go as being a max player and bringing little to the table on offense doesnt work.

    Melo is a scorer. Plain and simple. No one else could do anything vs the Heat D this series and this was positively the worst matchup NYK could have drawn. Not sure he has this kind of shot volume vs any other team in a playoff series even though it seemed to work down the stretch of the year (last 10-15 games or so).

    Gotta ask yourself who besides Bibby would have actually hit a shot tonight? Stoudemire had more TO's then rebs (5-4), Smith shot like poop again though his defensive efforts were commendable, Chandler cant shoot...

    I still say that this is the last of the laughing stock Knick teams.

    They make the ECF's next season. They need tweaks though. They can easily **** that up as well.

    Great players make the players around them better. Lebron had a MUCH WORSE Cleveland team but he elevated the players around him. Wade when he came here made the guys around him better when his supporting cast wasn't so strong. Carmelo? He is going to score but he will NEVER make anyone around him better. That is why IMO he is a great scorer and not a great player.

    Memphis is teetering on the verge of an epic choke job. It woukd serve their fans right for booing an injured player.

    My advise? Chandler has a ton of value. Pawn him off for pieces that you can turn into a front line PG (I am not a Lin fan).

    Stephen Curry has hit a lull in his career and he might become available. That would be an inspired move.

    Melo does make the players around him better. This NYK team could not have played any better imo...Chandler and STAT need PG's to play effective. Melo is a player you generally need to double and so someone will be open and when they are Melo does show a willingness to pass. Hes different then Wade or Lebron...As I said pages ago, when I watch Melo I see a younger, better Paul Pierce.

    The other point you bring up about Lebron's finals teams...they had a very weak east to go through. I mean the Hawks and C's were it. Kind of like the east this year...Knicks and Celtics are really the Heat's only semi-challenging opponents imo with Rose down.



    I like Curry a lot so it wouldnt upset me to see that but with Bogut in GS Im not sure that can work. Chandler for Howard and STAT for Deron (S&T). Sign KG or Taj Gbson as a FA for a good chunk of (all if necessary) the MLE.

    the bet is Heat in 4,5 or 6 for me...the rest he wins Heat in 7 or if the Celts win the series....

    he was stupid enough to say "There is no way that series doesnt go 7" I was smart enough to say "You are dumb, lets bet"......

    4 or 5 is my real bet, he THREW me 6 because he is well dumb and cocky.....never bet with your heart....

    hmmmm.

    Is Kobe trying to upstage Jordan's flu game by having his own "Diarreah game"? (Status will be updated 90 minutes before tipoff.)

    "Hey man, you remember when Jordan had the flu and went off in the finals?"

    "That's nothing! Do you remember when Kobe dropped 40 in an elimination game while crapping all over the court?"

    There was an episode where she crapped her pants, and had to be carried to her limo.

    This Kobe thing reminded me of that. Imagine him being carried from the bench to the locker room because he has crap running down his leg??? :lol:

    Kobe doesn't like to miss a game for anything. He'll slap on some Depends and ride it out. That old SNL skit 'Oops I crapped my pants' comes to mind.

    Why is it that every damn team the Heat plays has to talk a bunch of **** beforehand?

    First Hibbert says that they built their team "the right way" and didn't just cut corners by signing a couple of superstars.

    Then Vogel calls the Heat a stepping stone.

    In today's presser he accused the Heat of cheating. (He says the Heat slide under drivers and then flop to sell charges.)

    This is gonna be all types of fun, smashing this irrelevant sparring partner into the ground.

    I'm not sure why it seems like everyone wants to almost paint the heat as underdogs, cause we could somehow get the bobcats and people would talk about how the heat need to be careful least the bobcats blow them out.

    It's as if they don't want us to bask in our favorite status.

    Barkley has perfected this. He is now just trolling, by picking against the Heat in every single series.
