D'Antoni did pretty good with the Knicks when he had Felton at PG and Amare at PF. Once Carmelo got there, the team went to sh*t.
He needs a creator at point who can shoot the 3. An athletic big man who can play the pick and roll and a bunch of shooters.
Keep Nash and Amare. Fire Porter get rid of Kerr. Actually get a guard or small forward who can create off the dribble.
Anyone who drafted Robin Lopez and brought in Dragic should be fired immediately.
In most mocks that I've seen he's the 1st or 2nd ranked running back now. Projected 1st or 2nd rounder. I still think Chris Wells is the most intriguing prospect. Combination of power and speed.
I think what has been missing from Nash is that stutter step or that little carry that using to get him past other points. Also teams are switching on the pick and roll with him and Amare to neutralize the roll. Nash needs to dump it into Amare if that happens or take his man off the dribble.
I believe a lot of the blame has to do with past personnel moves and the current roster. Every current Suns player has serious limitations, not to mention we've been getting older instead of trying to get younger. Barbosa can't pass and makes bad decisions, Diaw is too passive, Raja can't...
I think Edge is stud for gaining 1,100+ yrds and surviving that predictable play calling. weak offensive line and not getting hurt. Regarless of his YPC he still broke Garrison Hearsts single season yardage number. Running for 1000+ yrds here is like running for 1300 somewhere else. You have...
I think it's interesting that the year LD had the lowest sack numbers, he also had his highest false start numbers. Looks to me that he tries to overcompensate for his lack of speed against DEs.
Too major problems. No true point guard who can finish at the basket or find the open man and no shot-blocking center who can guard the rim. When Nash isn't playing the point, we can't outscore teams and our deficiencies are magnified.
Still need to draft a legit backup PG and C.
When KT and...
Ugh, rap in the 80s was doodoo. I'm so glad NWA came out and helped changed the landscape of rap.
Ice Cube did have a dope verse when he said, "If it wasn't for me you would still be rapping like the Treacherous 3, you F-ing cowards:
I agree. Ice Cube is washed up. I listened to his new CD it was...ok. He tried to rap over some of today's type of beats and it didn't sound great. Unfortunately the West's glory days are in the past. I'm a child of the 90s when the rap game was at its best.
Yes but beating the Spurs, Suns, Jazz and Mavericks is impressive regardless of what floor it was on. If were able to do that I would be much more confident about our team's chances of going all the way.
They are starting to scare the hell out of me. The can consistently beat the top teams in the NBA, they are well coached, and play good defense. Not to mention the have arguably the best player in the league who can take over games at the end. I hope we don't see them in the playoffs this year.
Why shouldn't we draft a raw player. Unless we can get Noah we have a team that doesn't need him right away. He can be a dominating shotblocker ala Mutumbo. Guys like Horford get drafted every year. Look at Shelden Williams, or Sean May. And Horford's number aren't even as good as theirs.
It looks like Oden, Durant, and Brandon Wright are top 3. We are looking at Noah or this guy Haseem Thatbeet. He's exactly what we need a dominating shot blocker and rebounder. And he's 7'3. He averages 4.1 blocks per game.

I just bought Madden 07 for 360 and it F-ing sucks. I was thinking about buying Gears of War or Lost Planet. Too bad I opened the game. At least I have NBA 2K7 to play.
He can shoot and dish. Just what we need. I say give up our own 1st round pick for him. It's going to be a low pick anyway and trade away Banks somehow.
