North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
And How Knicks fans wouldn't want Isaiah back is beyond me.

The biggest similarities between these two combo's are glaring.

Everyone in NY said Amare was a huge upgrade over Lee except that.. Lee is a better rebounder, Amare is more athletic and physically gifted but that fact that neither players great defense negates that. Amare's success if predicated on great point guard play most of the time and Lee's isn't.

Randolph and Curry didn't compliment each other at all and one players success meant the other player's game suffered just like it has with Amare and Melo. Amare is in the perfect storm for unsuccess. No great point guard, he needs the ball in the same area, Melo needs it and because Chandler clogs up the middle he has no where else to go really most of the time.

If they were gonna try to go after melo, fine.. and I doubt He would've wanted to be traded to New York if it wasn't for Amare being there but, they really should have held out for Deron Williams this summer.


They got above average pieces that just don't fit. Bron and Wade work well because they know how to play off each other, both and handle the rock and both can create their own shot from anywhere on the floor. Amare can't do much, Chandler can't do anything so that just leaves you with one playmaker. Zeke as a former PG would've looked to address this immediately. Either through the draft or FA.

Any thread that presents Isiah Thomas as a solution gets one-starred off GP

it ever occur to you that maybe Curry was some shyt and Randolph wasnt in shape half the time.

one of the biggest misconception is how well LeBron and Wade play together. they only look good in the open court. Spoelstra still has yet to find a way to incorporate an offense that can get both of them the ball equally as well as let others play off of them.
