They're fun to watch. On any given night guys are stepping up huge. Tonight it was Afflalo. I mean man they are 3-0 without Gallo playing and tonight they surely could have used his services. C.J. Miles was pretty good himself tonight like he was when we played them earlier this year.

Yeah and Chandler only had 6 points. Lawson looked great. He and Felton together make me dizzy.
so here is what phil is thinking ....

Bla-Bla-bla. I am not listening :covers ears:

Seriously, how can a superstar demand a trade to 1 team and after he gets traded away his old team doesn't lose a single beat? I guess its only possible if a superstar demands a trade to NY. Our owner jizzes his pants and demands that we give away everyone and their mother.

How many times do you see this in the league, where a team is missing their best player yet find a way to win.

They are trying harder, going off adrenaline, feeling themselves a bit, but eventually when they hit a patch, they will come back down to earth.

The nuggets have a history of ****ing the Knicks. See: Camby, and Nene for Mcdyess.
Rose is not the answer.

Deja Vu - Dolan was a prick then as he is now:

Knicks may bring back Camby
By Mark J. Miller
Marcus Camby(notes) has been off the New York Knicks since he was traded to the Denver Nuggets for Antonio McDyess(notes) in 2002. Now the 6'11" Hartford native is playing for the Portland Trail Blazers and will be a free agent this summer.

The word is that the Knicks would like to bring Camby back, according to the New York Daily News. The paper says the Camby trade was forced onto then-team president Scott Layden by Madison Square Garden James Dolan, who is still kicking around the place and wreaking intermittent havoc. It's not clear if that history will affect any potential deal but it didn't sound like Camby cared when he made comments to the Daily News.

"That was what, eight years ago?" Camby said. "I'm one to never burn any bridges. It's appealing going back home and going back to a city where I had a lot of great memories and a lot of great friends. Come July 1, I'll definitely give New York a look if they're interested."

He also expressed happiness with his time in Portland, though, where he's been since getting traded by the Los Angeles Clippers in February. The team has gone 13-4 since Camby joined and he's averaging 10.2 points and 6.4 rebounds per game.

The problem with staying in Portland is that two big guys -- Greg Oden(notes) and Joel Przybilla(notes) -- will be presumably be back next year after recovering from injuries.

so here is what phil is thinking ....

I agree to an extent but they have won games against competitive teams. Adrenaline only last so long. It doesn't stay with a whole TEAM for a couple weeks.

What I don't see happening is them falling off due to ego tripping

What I do wonder is why some of Denver's Vets appeared to be agenda oriented pre trade. It's almost as if there were different factions operating in their locker room before the trade took place. Because Martin(I know he wasn't healthy early) has been playing like he's hungry Nets K-Mart. Like all of their players are balling.

As currently constructed, I think this is a team that year in year out will place anywhere from a 5-7 seed in the west. They might have a year where they break through to the 2nd round but I think thats as far it this team can go. They have great balance but ironically they are a Carmelo Anthony type of closer/#1 option away from really competing for one of the top seeds out west. They'll be chasing the Carmelo Anthony player from here on out and most likely he will allude them as these players are very hard to get. Thats why I like our position much better than Denvers.

You have a situation where some players will be able to to step up in ways that they couldn't do previously because of established pecking orders on their respective teams. The fact of the matter is that nobody knows where/when Denver will peak in terms of performance, because they are going through unchartered territory with the players who will now have a chance to shine.

Everyone forgets that we have an example from Knick's history of a trade whioh opened up new opportunities for certain players to reach their full potential. Bellamy and Komives for Debusschere allowed:

Frazier to achieve his full potential as a player
Reed to play the postition he was better suited to play
DeBusschere to be a top quality glue guy on an unselfish team

Not saying that Reed and DeBusscher were unknown quantities at the time, but their games reached new levels after the trade.

Nobody knows how the Nuggets will end up with this squad, but if they buy into Karl's vision of a team, they will be fun to watch, dangerous to play against, and they have enough talent so that I don't think they will be overwhelmed against star studded teams.

Only time will tell, though.

I think Karl figured this team out really quick. He knows that he has a lot of really fast players that can score in break neck speed in transition. He also knows he has a very good rebounding team in Nene and Birdman. It looks like they will ride Gallo in the half court set. This team is going to be really fun to watch. Go Knuggets Go!!

I kind of look at Denver as the Knicks kid brother now. And, now I have two teams to root for so when the knicks are off, I can watch the Knugget games.
so here is what phil is thinking ....

Even if the Nuggets make the playoffs they are going to get swept.

Their team is going nowhere in the west and this will very apparent next year when they start with zero wins and not 30+ wins.
