Melo will probably drop 40 on us. He will try to show up the Knicks like its managements fault we never won anything.

KP should be able to shut Melo down if they are matched up one on one. KP should be able to bust his ass on the other end.

Westbrook can't be stopped but the real nightmare is stopping Paul George in the mix of all this.

Allot of things need to be sorted out. Beasley is our wild card. The center situation needs to be sorted out too.

No doubt must see TV but with a short preseason and both teams experiencing many changes I'd expect it to be sloppy with both teams players not sure the pace and roles and when to assume it. I doubt it sets the tone for either teams season.
If Melo makes me want to feel bad, he drops 8 dimes and grab's 15 rebounds then I'll sulk for 5 minutes.
Melo has PG13 and Westbrook. Two players better than anyone he ever played with on the knicks and perhaps with Denver.
He need only be Olympic Melo which is get hot and shoot the lights out in small stretches.

Perfect scenario is Knicks by two after the game is tied and they go up with a KP jump shot. Melo then misses from the elbow as the buzzer sounds and he smiles.

Knicks win half will say "We need to tank", the other half laments We lose and have Mooby Envy.

We are an east lottery team versus top 5 team in the west as game 1 and it's going to determine the whole season for us? Relax bro.
No one on this team is stopping Westbrook, and PG will have a field day.

I'm just hoping Melo doesn't get matched up against Kanter, because Melo will just love that. I guess Kanter will too.
