but that's the one and only thing we have. If he doesn't become outstanding, we have nothing.
Carmelo Anthony is a top 20 player in the NBA.
So they have a top 20 player and a top 10 building block.
They have a solid, flexible roster.
They can easily add more talent the next two summers with the cap going up.
This is the last year they have no pick because of the mistakes of a previous regime.
I think you and Briggs are just feeling whiny because the Knicks are playing like crap today.
Knicks have played poorly for a month. The red flag is when you have all your guys and you start getting smoked game to game. Good team s get better not worse this today is a disgrace even if we come back no d no I fractured line ups no plan
Lance Thomas is out. Melo is injured. Calderon just came back two games ago.
They haven't had all their guys healthy for the past two-three weeks, which coincides with the struggles.
They were playing great til Melo injured his ankle in the second half of the Boston game of that EFFING ref being on the court.
Since then, they've been off and racking up more injuries. Supposedly Melo's knee issue came from the ankle issue - which as a guy who has had ankle issues create knee issues, I believe.
If they can get to the all-star break, they'll have almost two solid weeks off. That will help them.
