    “Before we were just focused on mid-post stuff and now we’re still doing that,” said Brickley.

    Are we just super anxious as a fan base or is this thing taking way to long to get done?

    I've been wondering when we'd get our next Melo thread.

    Well if the goal is to beat the Warriors though, our offense really sputtered in that series. I know there are a lot of caveats to that series and small sample size and all that, but there is still room for growth for our offense in the playoffs. And Melo can help with that if he's somewhat back. Whether there's an equal downside to his defense I don't know, but just in terms of offense we can definitely still improve.

    "'Right now, the emphasis is getting him in the best shape of his life,' Chris Brickley told me on Scoop B Radio."

    Headline should read "CARMELO ANTHONY'S TRAINER ADMITS MELO HAS BEEN OUT OF SHAPE"

    Has anybody told this trainer that Melo isn’t coming here because Tilman told someone’s friend at a bar something?:confused:

    Ol Burt tried to tell you lol. If you would've put Tuesday at 5:45 in your mind as the completion date it would've made this last week of anticipation easier to stomach

    Um, I was quoting the trainer. Don’t know if you’re taking a shot at me, no big deal. Just thought he overused the word a bit.

    In response to your George Karl sig, Karl is a terrible human being. In his book he made a very racist assumption that Carmelo Sr. Walked out on Carmelo when the man actually died of cancer when Melo was 2 years old. It also shows how little Karl knew about his franchise player if he never knew such a basic detail. There is a reason Karl doesn’t have a job.

    While that was a terrible thing to say about his father, it has nothing to do with Karl the coach and his comments on Melo as a basketball player and what he said has been proven true when looked at Melo's career.

    It speaks to Karl’s character and thus taints his analysis. Drama has always followed Karl wherever he went.

    I am not looking at his analysis in a vacuum. I can place it in context with Melo's career. Drama has followed Melo wherever he has gone as well.

    Place it in context with Karl’s career, and lack of employment, as well
