at the end of the day:
two stars and no depth = no stars, plenty of depth

a championship team needs stars AND depth and the chances of denver acquiring stars is FAR lesser than us acquiring role players.

The Clippers are going to kill them. The Nuggets play well but they don't have a go to guy.

they have depth somethign we dont have. Sometimes you dont need three stars you just need a good collections of good players like philly

Good players don't win championships....good players with a few stars do. Philly is playing over their heads.

Seeing what is happening now do you still make the melo trade or just wait for FA

wait so he can go to the Nets?
You pull the trigger.

i was happy with melo teh first half he was finding guys and then all of a sudden he is throwing up bad shots which led the bulls to grab a big lead. If he would just play team ball the whole way pg or not we would still win more games

revisionist history. our bench svcked balls in the second quarter (3 combined points). Melo game back in and continued their sloppiness by turning the ball over and giving chicago easy transition buckets, pushing the lead to 10+.

in the third quarter Melo and Amare did their thing. Amare hit the bench, our defense got better, and we did Melo ball possession and possession, with Melo willing the Knicks back into the game. it was a 2 point game at the start of the fourth iirc.

Amare + bench unit start fourth. bulls extend to 5. melo comes back in. back and forth between melo and amare, with Melo taking most of the shots and getting blocked the shyt out of towards the end.

Really glad i stayed up watch this. Shows we have something to hope for still. Special mention to Amare. Monstrous game.

They became rattled and reverted back to bad habits. Mda to his credit called a timeout and tried to settle it.

Ya its really working out for us isn't man. I guarantee we could have gotten deron for much less than we gave up

It didn't even seem like MDA was interested in Deron. I don't understand why you for some reason think that that one trade was going to move mountains for us. Dolan decided he wanted to sell tickets, and to be a championship contender. When we signed Amar'e we got one piece. Trading for Melo was the second piece. Trading for a legit center, the 3rd piece. Now we need a point guard and depth.
