Im convinced if BIg Baby and Rondo asked to be core players in NY would have sucked.
Boston won because it had depth around that core. Miami went to the finals 4 years in a row with the best player on the planet, but when Cole, Miller, or anyone but the big three stepped up it was how they got to that next level.
When their depth failed, they were unable to finish a finals for a win.
Carmelo or any other player on the knicks on the team the last 4 years would not have done much better except Lebron (facilitor).
Melo on Denver???? Im not sure their inability to get to the finals or succeed more is really about JUST MELO!
Most of us don't think Melo is MVP mooby starphuch god.
I think for the 8 of Hate its about Money. "Max money expectations"???? Jordan was paid 30 million 15 years ago. Today he could only earn Kobe Money, 24mil. Thats a 20% pay cut AND 15 years inflation!!!!!!
Its not that Melo is worth Lebron money, its that Lebron can't be paid anymore than he does!
8 of Hate. Are you replacing the term 'Somber'? Wow, and there used to be only six of them.
Apparently applying percentages doesn't apply in this instance.
Boston also had some fabulous interfranchise collusion going on between Ainge and McHale that this franchise is never going to experience. Everyone hates us, just ask ESPN.
It's not the Melo is MVP GOAT Mooby Idol, it's just that he's the best player we've had since Spree. Was Spree making everyone on the team better? Would he be dragging the likes of Fishlips and Toney D to the playoffs? Not likely.
Lebron could have come here. He didn't. CP3 could have come here, he didn't
Amare came here and blew up after a few months of outright offensive domination.
Sorry folks, but Mooby is all we got. Would I like it if he was averaging triple doubles? You betcha. Would that be getting us anywhere with this crew of broken down uselessness and yootful/journeymen pipedreams? Not likely. Would we be living the 2nd round high life and threatening to go to the ECF if Dolan didn't do the Dirty Deed 5 years ago?
Please stop kidding yourselves.
