The 5% Rule!!

I didn't really know this until semi-recently but it makes sense as to why GM's do what they do.

In the NBA it is said the you keep what you have have and run with it if you Have a 5% chance of winning a title.  5% sounds low but if you think about , when you establish east and west and who you have to go through to get there it's plausible that all you yo need is 5%.

I bet Dallas was a 5 per-center and not only did they need to beat out better teams in the west but they needed Miami to have a let down and VIOLA title!!

It's not the greatest formula but C-Webb should have a title if it wasn't for a last sec. shot by Robert Horry of the Lakers to beat the Kings and take the west.  It's easy to forget the "lucky shots" because the Lakers technically were the favorite but if C-Webb slaps that ball to the side out-a-bounds instead of the back court... Kings win a title and they go down in history as the 1-shot champion like the Mavs.

So why do I bring this up?  Well early in the season I thought the Knicks were a 5 per-center but it fear due to age a fragility they may have fallen out of the 5%.

The Knicks ARE old and the age is showing up in there ability to stay healthy.  With Wallace and Camby out they have NO interior defenders after Chandler and J-Kidd seems to running on fumes as the season goes on.  to top it all off their rookie PG is 35 and not a scoring threat... DAMN reality is a bitch.

So what the hell should we do cause this AINT A LAUGHING MATTER!  Melo needs a 2nd option  a real deal money 2nd option and the Knicks need defense...D-Fence D-FENCE!!  Do we still have Jared Jefferies number? Seriously.

Brandon Jennings could help BUT what are the Bucks going to take?

A risk could be dealing Chandler and Amare for Howard and a bad contract the Lakers want to dump. (Pau Gasol maybe?)

It's tough the the thing is the Knicks don't have a lot of long term contracts right now but the the old guys in 2 years are just going to be.... OLDER!!

Melo IS NOT AN ISLAND he can't do it alone STAT (love him) isn't the same player he use to be lastly HEALTH is an issue. 

Getting Jared Dudley is a good idea BUT NOT for Shumpert sorry... But if you can get Jennings too I can see moving Shumpert, STAT, Prigioni, and maybe Smith...

WOW maybe the best move is the one you didn't make (I wish we still had Jefferies).  

Maybe we can sign K-Mart to a 10-day?

AT THE GAME !!

Post game breakdown!

Keeping it Melo

There's is absolutely no doubt that the Knicks were over achieving!  I mean I predicted the Knicks to finish any where from 3rd to 6th in the East and I was hopeful that they could get out of the 1st round and maybe have an inspirational play-off run.

But the Knicks came out of the gate LIKE GANG BUSTERS... the exploded to a large lead in the East and held the No. spot for a while and are currently 2.5 games behind the Heat.

The Knicks have come back down to earth lately and it has the entire blogosphere BOOMING with so called analyst calling for trades or for Melo to change his game and become more like LeBron.

Listen... THERE'S ONLY ONE LEBRON, OK!!  You can't copy that the mold is broken,  Carmelo is one of only 10 players that you can build a franchise around, he's a lethal SCORER and his scoring is what a Mathematician a constant in thhe equation of building an NBA team you need constants.

You need a Scorer (S), you need a rebounder (R), you need defenders (D) and you need shooters (Sh), an assist man (A), and you need a sixth man an X-Factor (X).

So basically  S+R+D+Sh+A+X= Championship!!

The Knicks have the Best scorer in the league, right if the formula proves anything it's you need guys to step and guys to know their roles.

Right now of the top 5 list the Knicks only have Melo in scoring and Novak in 3 point shooting.

So do the Math we need more ...rebounding, more assists, better defenders and a 2nd option!!

Melo is the constant worth a damn right now. 

I feel in today's NBA to be a scorer there's a shame to it you can get 40 but you have to apologise for doing it, I know you want a complete game but you have to utilise what you have and it if what you have is the best scorer than give us the best rebounders, defenders and a 2nd and 3rd option that can score in the paint!!

There's still hope Camby (D) is injured and Wallace (D) & (S) is out  but all in all we'll need chemistry a solid rotation and guys to buy into there roles.

Go Knicks!!
