They actually play defense now. Anthony is extremely overrated. You cannot mention him along with Kobe and Lebron because those guys can actually play defense, at least when they want to.
NY is going to be very average.

Umm... The nuggets beat a non-focus boston squad and suddenly they are better without Melo... Reminds me of the Cavs beating Boston after they humbled Miami... Judging by this logic, I'll bet this is how most bettors select their picks: use a 2 game sample and go big. No wonder most of you guys lose money...
P.S. Until this team can get to the Western Conference Finals, they will NEVER be better without Melo!!

I just think Knicks will be a good team with Anthony but never a great team
He does not do enough on all ends of the court to change a game that much

Nuggets aren't bad without Melo. I'm telling you they have pieces to give fits to the elite of the West.

New look Denver is basically Houston without the suck, but with more tattoos and attitude.

"They beat a Celtics team that has a weak bench and just lost perkins"
Dumb quote. Perkins has already been hurt prior and they were playing without him the bulk of the season. Daniels who they traded is out for the year. Harangody and Robinson have been decent but not much of a loss. They had 4 guys left on the bench, I agree as this is not enough but they are 4 allstars with Davis a potential 5th. Denver is legitimate, the only concern is they are young and JR Smith may try to be the main ego on the team. He is a very outspoken player and could see some tension

will take them as long as their getting points

C. Paul said at Melo's wedding he wanted to join forces with Melo and buils a 3 superstar team like the heat. When Paul gets to NYC next yr the Knicks will be tough. Originally Posted by jjgold

Chris Pauls barbers 3rd cousins ex girlfiends 3rd best friend told me at a diner the other day that that was before Knicks went out and gave out 20M deals to 2 mediocre superstars. Too bad, nice idea but its not possible. Originally Posted by tat1980

It's too early to tell just yet but the truth is Denver was never going to win ANYTHING with Carmello anyways. He is absent the qualities of a champion and that is something that a teams primary "mover" has to have. I did like the way that Denver was moving the ball at times as opposed to when it would stick with Carmello. Denver has some pieces that can cause problems for teams but in the end that group don't have it either. So all in all Denver wins though because they reduce salary and get draft picks for the future with a team that more than likely is just as competent or has just as good of chance as winning in the playoffs as Carmello Anthony's team. Remember, that Carmello Anthony led teams made it out of the 1R of the playoffs only once.

They might not be better, but all that uncertainty and distractions that they played with all year is now gone. Now they can just focus on playing rather than on who's going where.

Its none thing to have a knee jerk overreaction to the 2 wins, but to act like they just beat the Wizards and the Cavs is something else.

That may be true, but a Melo led team also was 2 wins away from the NBA Finals. I'm not a fortune teller, but my crystal ball tells me that Denver won't be achieving that with this team and just draft picks.... Originally Posted by lyon804

If Carmello really cared about "winning" as he said he would have stayed in Denver. Denver was willing to spend the money and do what it took and K-mart and JR Smith Contract will be coming off the books after next season. Denver was in good posistion to make a strong run in 2-3 yrs.
Carmello is no closer to winning a championship in NY right now. NY will need to add to that team significantly to challenge for a championship.

My point is to counter your point of Melo only getting out of the first round once. Well, guess what he did lead his team to the WCF so you might want to slow your brakes when bashing him from that angle. And so what if his team lost by 26 points? Lakers had one of the most lopsided, if not the most lopsided losses in finals history. Look at them now!! You can't judge a book by it's cover and you certainly can't judge a team by 1 bad game.

Melo obviously had other reasons for go to NY. Everything in the NBA isn't about winning. Frankly every player and every owner comes across like winning is the only thing that matters, but in reality making money matters a heck of a lot more. Melo wanted a bigger market, another star, and hopefully more opportunities. Nothing wrong with that. And Denver isn't going anywhere without a superstar. Seeing how I don't know of a current superstar with their eyes set on Denver, and the unlikely hood of them actually finding the next franchise player in the draft, they have a huge uphill battle....This is a superstar league, without one you pretty much don't have a chance..

If Karl can get them to keep playing D, then maybe.

Still looking good. 8 players with double figures, K-Mart with 9 and Gallinari is still out.
