showed some of james' vulnerabilities: not enough of a killer instinct down the stretch, MUCH LESS polished on the perimeter and much more vulnerable when he can't get to the basket. That was exposed even though carmelo didn't even show up. Also, earl boykins - what a great example of hard work.

Carmelo disappointed me...He looks a lot like Marburry, especially when he is not touching the ball. I must admit, Denver needs a PG. Andre Miller is not the right orchestrator for that team. They look so bad when he is running the team. Boykins is not worst, but he is not better also...

I didn't get to watch that game, so I'm just going by the box scores, but even with his vulnerabilites exposed, LeBron still puts up 35 points, 6 assists, 6 steals. The kid has a ways to go if he's ever going to make it in this league.

Lebron, Amare, and Wade are the best three youngsters in the league right now.....Carmelo has a lot to learn. He plays with no passion this season, and he doesn't try to do the little things. At least I didn't see any of that tonight....If Ariza had that boy's body and better yet his shooting touch, he would have competed with Lebron for best youngster around...I am curious to see how far Ariza will go with the Knicks....

Denver just needs another trade to improve the next level.
How about Marbury and Nazr for Nene, Skittles, Dre Miller, Rodney White, Voshon Lenard (needed to make salaries match) and a 1st rounder? We could even agree to waive Lenard, so the Nuggets can re-pick him up for next season. We don't need him, just the contract.

Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

melo played better last year compared to lebron....this year is a different story, must be the kmart factor. i thought lebron was lacking in the killer instinct as displayed last year when jeff was out. prince james could not take em to the playoffs. lets see what happens after the allstar break
