Stat crazy, Melo cool

Do you hear that diehards? That's the sigh of relief from everyone of us still humming across the universe. Its so good to talk basketball again. Carmelo is finally here. Half African American, half Puerto Rican superstar basketball player with nyc roots. Gotta love it. Brooklyn in the house!

I can describe the difference in having Carmelo Anthony and Chancey Billups in a word: Attention. I know you heard your favorite sports commentator say "but it was against the Milwaukee Bucks!" Why discredit that team now? Cleveland is next. The Cavs beat the Lakers a few weeks ago. You think they are saying stuff like that about teams. This is the nba. Its a professional basketball league. Its the best on the world. The 12th man on any roster can be a successful starter on any Tan on this earth. With that said the team the Knicks played last night were a legit top 3 defensive team. Seriously google it. That same team took Atlanta to the brink of elimination last season. They have injuries to thank for that....Blah, blah, blah.

The attention that Carmelo, and Chancey brought to the table last night made the Bucks defense scramble at times and the poise if these new Knicks took the heart from them when they needed it. The old players can be described with another word: surprising. If Gallo, Wilson, or Felton dominated or brought their "A" games it was often in dramatic and surprising fashion. You admire their heart, but they weren't scaring anyone. A team like the Bucks could pencil the Knicks in as a game they could win. Now as they proved without one day if practice. Teams are gonna have fits trying to contain reputation the Knicks are rolling with now. Speaking of reputation, Amar'e is good but he is his item worse enemy. He plays with great fire and is quite the bully on the court. That fact has brought him to the brink of suspension after receiving his 15th technical of the season. One more and he has to serve a one game suspension. In the past Carmelo was guilty of random acts of douchebagdom, slapping former knick Mardy Collins then running scared enroute to losing half a season to suspension. We all called Melo a goon for that. Melo has since changed his mindset and streamlined his game with simplicity and poise. In the 4th quarter Carmelo Anthony took control of the game and called for the ball. He scored 11pts to close the deal. Amar'e fouled out getting his last tech from the bench in a game the knicks needed him. Its all good now Knicks fans. We have a backup. As my dad would say, "Puerto Rican in the house!"

¡Wepa!
