The Real Deal

Let's be 100% real.  New coach, new offense, new management BUT same old talent.

Don't get me wrong. Re-upping Melo was a huge win in my books but if the Olympics mean anything it's that Melo needs help.   He'll never be a facilitator, he's a scorer.  And a damn good piece of a puzzle.  

Let's break down the triangle shall we... it works the best with scoring,  rebounding,  and passing.   And the 3 best Knick players are Melo (scoring),  Amare (scoring) and Hardaway Jr. (Even more scoring).  There's not enough ball to go around. KNICKS NEED DEDICATED DEFENDERS & REBOUNDERS.  They're not getting out shot,  they're getting out stopped.  And it's going to be this way until they can shed Amare's and Bargnani's contracts and hopefully Draft and sign the MASSIVE HOLES IN THE TRIANGLE. 

Right now it's not even the parallelogram they're using instead of a triangle it's the lack of elite talent thats killing them.  Hopefully Phil can use his Zen magic and grab a David Lee or Kenneth Fairied type in the Draft,  work out a multi team deal that lands us Rondo and see if Noah wants out of Chicago.

Until then it's just a lost season. .. keep stocking up on ping pong balls.
