Just watch the team when Carmelo returns. We all know what’s gonna happen. It’s been touched on here already. They’re gonna lose, and look ugly doing it The Knicks are going to be a better team, as is any team when they regain the services of their best player who happens to be one of the best players in the world.

This might be my favorite Simpsons exchange ever. Well played sir.

Also: completely improvised.

Really? That’s even better.

I was under the impression that D’Antoni’s offense was predicated on lots of motion. Is that a strength of ‘Melo’s game in NBA competition?

I saw a few Denver games before his trade to NY. Sure, he moved some. There were a lot of possessions, however, that ended up “iso to ‘Melo”.

On the nights he was on, he could pile up points in a hurry. Some nights, however, when he was off the whole team offense ground to a halt.

Yea I just went looking for other rookies after I made that comment. I think it’s still a little high, but he’s also had a lot of pressure to score and distribute. That obviously won’t be the case when Melo and Amare come back.

And, again, it’s only been 4 games. So the TO rate is likely going to drop regardless.

Did you realize that Timberlands for dogs are not a real product? Those things would be mad successful.

Kitton Mittons FTW.

He’s basically a rookie, and rookies turned the ball over like MFers. All of them.

If Lin does keep this up it will be fun watching a team offer him some ridiculous contract that the Knicks will be forced to match.

The most he can be offered is around 5M/yr. So, no.

RFA.

I could see Stoudamire thinking “Lin sharing the ball could be good for my shooting percentage”.

I wonder how good Lin will be when he is no longer the primary scoring option. I assume he’s taken the most shots in every game he’s played this year. He’s going to have to be dropped to 3rd pretty consistently if the Knicks are going to win.

The 5.5 TO a game is slightly disconcerting. To the point that I went and double checked my numbers.

When we rented a place with hardwood floors, the crazy boxer used to tear them up, so we bought these booties for her. Watching her splay out like a baby giraffe, then try to walk picking each foot up one at a time as high as possible would have been a quality youtube video. Highly recommended.

Phenomenal.

Her dog can’t handle the road salt that is down in the winter, it hurts his paws. Did you realize that Timberlands for dogs are not a real product? Those things would be mad successful. This dog needs them, especially considering the neighborhood she lives in (the local kids comment on his bandanna colors and his gang allegiance).

Do we now? In Denver, he was assisted on 59% of his baskets as opposed to 29% this year.

That’s incredible. I had no idea this was true. Makes me think the Knicks will be a lot better when he comes back as long as D’Antoni uses him correctly.

/that’s probably a big “as long as”

With everyone healthy, that Knick roster can be very good. I guess ‘Melo won’t want to change his game very much. In his mind, his paycheck is validation that “his game” doesn’t require adjusting.

I understand we all see what should happen when the injured return to the lineup. Personally, I have doubt that ‘Melo especially will change a bit for the good of the team. I could see Stoudamire thinking “Lin sharing the ball could be good for my shooting percentage”.

Lin, Stoudamire and Chandler could be a good mix for pick-and-roll options.

Put it on when/if you propose, if you are moving in that direction.

My justification for doing this is that when she gets home from work (before coming to pick my ass up from work) she’ll open the door and see her flowers and gifts on the table, so the dog might as well be classed up a little.

I put these fleece dog-coats on both of mine yesterday, mostly for my own humor but it was cold out
