Now that 'Melo is so skinny, do you guys think he will still punk people in the post (his primary area in the Triangle) like this:

Yeah.....not much should change. Being in the paint is only partially about your weight...but more about strength, balance, and having the heart to get physical in the paint

Dudes will have to foul him to stop him.

The weight loss may even make fouls against him more noticeable.

Y'all agree or nah? By the way, he went allllll the way in on Tyson...

Pearl of Wisdom: Legend Monroe Says Knicks a Top 4 Team in East:

Monroe certainly is sweet on the Knicks’ moves, starting with Jackson snatching Calderon and Dalembert from Dallas.

“Obviously it’s all part of the plan — it’s important for Phil to have players who understand the game,’’ Monroe said. “It’s one of the reasons he went with Calderon. To have Prigioni, it’s two guys who really understand the game. Add a couple of other guys with a lot of athletic ability in Hardaway and Shumpert, it’s a great nucleus in the backcourt with those four guys.’’

That doesn’t include Smith, who has admitted to being a disaster for three-quarters of last season.

“A shooter like that can thrive in this situation if he buys into it,’’ Monroe said.
Most experts have serious concerns up front with Dalembert and injury risks Amar’e Stoudemire and Bargnani. But Monroe doesn’t see it as alarming.

“Tyson didn’t give you much at all last year,’’ Monroe said. “Since the year before, the Indiana series, he really hasn’t really done anything since then. You’re not losing a lot when getting a Dalembert. He plays the defense and he’s bigger than Tyson and takes up more space underneath.

“And nobody’s talking up Bargnani. He’s a guy who can shoot from the outside as well anybody.’’

Monroe didn’t find it a surprise Anthony re-signed.

“I always thought, unless he’s going somewhere where he could win a championship ASAP, and you know that, I figured he’d probably be here,’’ Monroe said.

Despite Anthony’s late-fourth-quarter ineffectiveness last season, he posted big numbers in averaging 27.4 points and a career-high 8.1 rebounds.

Does Jackson still have to shape Melo into a champion?

“I think Carmelo is shaped anyway,’’ Monroe said. “A great offensive player playing in a system that’ll be good for him. He gets a bad knock a lot of times. He takes a lot of shots, but he makes a lot of shots. Last year was one of his better years scoring the ball and in terms of rebounding and trying to get other guys involved. I thought it was tremendous year and he can still build on that.’’

Even a rookie coach in Fisher doesn’t scare Monroe.

“It goes to the credentials and credibility from Phil,’’ Monroe said. “Everybody understands where Phil is at and knows why he got Derek. Even in the learning process, they can still fire away.’’
