Knick wins seem to diminish it's self-production of longer, virulent posts. Thank you, Melobiotics. The best offerings appear to be "zzzzzzzzzzzzzz" and "lawson is fast". And statistics of course by the boatload, which leads us to:
2) Statistics don't lie. They also can be used to explain how Nuggets losing is really Nuggets winning. Or at least, despite the statements of some of the Somberanians, that Gallo is still better, more savvy, more potential-per-possession and better looking and loved than Melo ever can hope to be. Wax statues aside.
3) Watching the games is setting some of them on edge now. Despite the holiday season. Which leads us to:
THE SOMBERITE TOP TEN LIST TO SANTA (in no particular order):
10. Melo gets hurt, Knicks go on to win a chip without him. Team captain Chandler decrees that Melo is not ring-eligible.
9. Melo plays the rest of the season, averages 35ppg, Knicks blown out in first round.
8. Dolan sells team mid season to the Steve Jobs estate, it's executors trade Melo for Gallo straight up, Knicks win a chip. Denver franchise folds. Melo plays in China.
7. Chandler, Kidd, Felton, Novak all break down, Melo doesn't, Knicks miss the playoffs on last game of the regular season.
6. Melo gets voted off Manhattan.
5. Denver re-signs AR, takes on ECurry, beats Knicks in the Finals 4-0. Gallo/Wilson/Moz co-co-MVPs.
4. Same as 5, but Brooklyn beats Knicks in Semis 4-0, loses to Denver in Finals 4-3. Melo apologizes for "The Trade".
3. Brooklyn goes on a 40 game win streak. Breaking all NBA team records. Each member of the N*yets averages a triple double. Avery brings out the Princeton offense and memories of Celtic basketball bring tears to everyone's eyes as N*yets win their first chip. Dolan moves the Knicks franchise to Delaware at the end of the season.
2. Melo retires at mid-season to play minor league baseball. Knicks immediately win a chip.
1. Denver and Brooklyn trade the Larry O'Brien back and forth for the next decade. Dolan sells the Knicks franchise to Major League Soccer. Melo sits on the bench for the Pistons.
