    Add Troy Williams, 'Jo Chi', and I Taylor to that bench and it looks even better.

    I think if we don't get Melo Morey finds another really good player from somewhere, maybe at the deadline. I think we get another vet too.

    Damn, I remember attending this. Wasn't a huge crowd but it was hyped. I walked out thinking we were winning three championships minimum.

    This vid reminds me of something I haven't seen discussed vis a vis Carmelo v Ryan.

    Carmelo seems to me like he's got a quicker release on his shot. That can be a big deal.

    While being a mostly-great shooter, Anderson always struck me as needing just a split-tick too long to look and feel comfortable getting his shot up.

    Accuracy is one thing, but timing is huge, too. A big part of what makes the Great Satan Warriors so hard to play is how fast Curry/Thompson can shoot well.

    Those split-ticks can be the difference between elite spacing and just ok spacing, between wide open and just open, an Hakeem Olajuwon/John Starks closeout and a Charles Barkley/John Stockton closeout.

    Anyway, not like anyone is debating Anderson v Anthony. Just something I always noticed about Ryan since as got him (Gordon too, really, but he makes it work better, just a little quicker).

    Among all the other things, Anthony's speed of shot release is something to love.

    Fair point. The issue in the p/o's IMO was the quicker close-outs on Ryno left him exposed.

    I've been alone at work with you on my mind
    And in my dreams we've traded for you a thousand times
    I sometimes see you with CP3 and Harden on the floor
    Hello, is it the Rockets you're looking for?
    I can see it in your eyes
    I can see it in your game
    You're all I've ever wanted and the team is open wide
    Cause you know just when to shoot, and you (don't really) know when to pass
    And I want to trade for you so much, I love you
    I long to see a red headband on your hair
    And tell you time and time again how much I care
    Sometimes I feel our team will never grow
    Hello, I've just got to let you know
    Cause I wonder where you are and I when you'll be traded
    Are you somewhere feeling lonely? Or is someone else trading for you?
    Tell me how to make this trade, for I haven't got a clue
    But let me start by saying I love you

    I heard the Nachos and beer will be cheap for the Chris Paul introduction party

    Le$ gonna be on fire! I hope he gets wasted on the cheap beers and announces the Melo situation

    You think if we combine all the Melo threads, it could eventually be the longest thread ever?

    Damn son, why are all of your posts like this? Seriously, just because I have a bottle in one hand and a gun in the other doesn't mean you can get away with that S**T too. BTW, the end of the barrel works fine on the F5 key. All is good. Seriously, if the sun doesn't come up tomorrow, I will come back here and eat S**T for you. Melo be thy name.

    must be really frustrating for GMs to have to work with a dysfunctional and incompetent organization like the Knicks

    these organizations are the type to get fleeced tho
