What is happening to our defense? We let Dallas run all over us, now the Rockets. This crap better stop with Detroit on Sunday!! 
Same exact situation here. I couldn't believe it when I saw were were blown out. I'll watch the game tomorrow but I guess it's progress when the fact that the Knicks were blown out is met with surprise and not indifference as it has been in past years.
I really can''t believe Woodson just won't play Camby though. Seriously, an out of shape Camby is better than no Camby and Sheed at all. I certainly trust Camby out there over Tyson these days.
I thought what was so great about this team is that we ARE deep, which also means that there is competition for the minutes that one is given...and if one doesn't earn those minutes or aren't playing well, they can be given to someone who can be more productive. It's great that everyone get's along...but there's nothing wrong with a healthy sense of competition for the sake of winning either.
....sooo when's Amar'e coming back? There's no doubt he can help carry the offense for this team.
As far as this trend of Melo getting technicals, I hope he can find a way to calm himself and "turn the other cheek" because he plays best when he's relaxed and there's no better way to do that then accept the situation. If he's constantly driving to the basket... and not getting the calls, they can send that tape to the league office. However, if he keeps showing up the refs, he won't do himself any favors (Although, if I were in his place, I would want to show the refs what a fist to the face feels like first hand like Melo got in Dallas which really should have been a flagrant. I don't blame him for being mad at the no calls, I just want him to realize he can't allow that to lead to easy baskets for the opposition.)
In the spurs game, Melo was the one who got everyone to calm down before they came back to win it...he needs to be that Melo and lead in that fashion. Not the one who gets rattled.
