We thought with Gallo, we'd never really grow.

Gallo might not be a leader statistically but the Knuggs have only one player on their roster (Ty Lawson) from when Melo played there two years ago.

So in a way they in fact built around Gallo and while not an elite team, they are on the rise with assets going forward to MAYBE get their........

Knuggs built it around Gallo: Ironic!

That my point, it don't matter who is best!

They in fact built around Gallo. Gallo is their leading scorer.

Most nites their "best player" changes.

Thats a balanced team.

Not a great team, but right now the 6th best in the league.

Don't forget, they took Jimmy Dol's deal in a heart beat because they planned to rebuild with keeping George Karl at helm while getting rid of a disgruntled Melo. So far their future is looking bright and just about a superstar away from contention in next few years.

Name a team that goes far in the playoffs that doesn't have a go to guy ?

Nugget fans are in for a rude awakening, at best they are built for the regular season.

Pressure of the playoffs brings out the mental midgets who shined in the reg season , but wilt under the pressure of meaningful games in the 2nd season. All the nuggets fit that category.

Since the majority of comparison is Knicks vs. Nuggs and "the trade", one can also conclude "how has having a go to guy worked for us?" IM pretty somber right now but I don't see us going very far this year. This will be three years with Melo in the playoffs.

I think it was good trade for the knicks. We are in the playoffs three years in a row which is better than before.

That in itself is a good thing. No complaints.

The long standing arguement has been: "We could not build around Gallo!"

BUt Denver did. They build around a good player who is inconsistant but because they are not paying him a star they were able to add lots of pieces and keep picks, thus they traded Melo and rebuilt around Gallo!

Not in the traditional sense of him being a closing star.

Denver is getting better as we are falling apart. Nobody here is saying Knuggs are a great team but the trend has them getting better thru the season. Come playoff time, we'll see what happens.

But if you want to compare you can't deny that since the trade, only Lawson exists and Gallo was the best player Denver recieved back. Not the best player traded, but the best player. They also got Corey Brewer.

Denver is a better team than us right now. Not earlier in the season.

Like Melos knee, its all a fluid situation.

Injuries haven't allowed us to truly compare what a go to guy has done for us with vets surrounding Melo.

Denver has to come to to realization Chauncey (big shot) Billups finals MVP isn't walking thru that door for Denver.

We tried the win around inconsistent players, that's why we traded them. LOL

Becoming the Phoenix suns of the east wasn't gonna cut in NY .

WE NEEDED BATTLE TESTED VETS !

Hows that going?

Injuries are part of every teams season. When your the oldest team in NBA history what can you really expect? The names on paper are stale. We got out to an early start. Then it broke down. Its like getting a high miliage BMW or Mercedes "at a great price". They are great cars but there is a reason why it came with a discount. High miles means things break.

Year three we are breaking.

You can't change a mental midget into a night in shining armor coming to save the day.

They like to run around at a fast pace and are easy to root for(entertainment purposes only) until they bow out like Phoenix did all those years.

As for the vets I'll tell ya when the 2nd season comes around, that is what they were brought here for right ?

PHX did better than we did, and are doing.

Is it better to go 2 rounds, or ECF than to not make playoffs, or get one and done?

Not all teams can win.

All I know is we have one a chip in 40 years and the "all in" season appears to be coming undone.

Its amazing how some of pur fans act like the Knicks are in a different class than most teams lol. Im a huge knick fan but 1 playoff win in 13 years is something taht we may never live down. Its pretty embarrassing

In the "Mecca", the "Sophisticated" see what they want to see.

Its like we buy a S-class Mercedes and think that makes us better. The other guys buys a Honda Accord, AND a boat, AND a motorcycle and is busy using them. Personal preference is ok, We got Melo but its not that we are better.

The record speaks for itself.
