As impressive as their record is, they are only 3-2 on the road (4-0 at home). This game should be winnable. We should win this game. I swear if we get blown out at home, I will be fvcking pissed.
We should win but there are many problems.
First of all Melo said he has no lift in his legs right now.
Quote:
Carmelo Anthony smiled a What do you think? smile when asked if he played hurt on Monday.
"No," he said.
Minutes after the game, Anthony spoke with a team trainer, complaining of tired legs.
"I don't have the pop, the lift," he said.
Our bench scored just 3 points last night and our stars shot poorly.
We can't win against the Sixers with that kind of performance.
I hope Bibby will be ready for tonight's game because he came up huge against the Wizards and Pistons.
I predicted the Grizzlies would be WORSE once Gay came back. Not enough basketballs to go around. Gay and Z-Bo are black holes lol That said, Amare and Gasol HAVE to play well tonight. I think our front court matches up well with theres as long as we don't let up on defense.

I watched the okc @ Memphis and the game was quite revealing. even without zbo Memphis has an arsenal of stretch 4s and even Gasol that can come off the pick and pop and drain the 15-18 footer. Gasol had a lethal post game against the thunder, but Chandler is much longer and should br a better matchup.
Gay had an off shooting game making him a detriment to his team. No post game. no playmaking ability. all he did was chuck from outside to the tune of 7-21 (although the Thunders interior defense is legit).
all things considered, we match up well with them. even if they pick and pop us to death like Charlotte, their fours aren't quite as skilled as diaw in putting the ball on the floor or draining EVERY shot.
Without melo, we are shit, i wasnt on board with the melo trade, but i apologize, he is the heart and soul of this team. Amare looks like a bum out there, confused, scared to go to the hole. I really see what melo brings to this team, this is his team. He is the eli manning of small forwards ( had to put a giants reference in there)
I'm not even mad.
We're a .500 team who will make the playoffs (7th or 8th seed) and go fishing very soon (probably 1st round).
Let's enjoy in a few wins against elite opponents (Celtics,Bulls,Heat,Lakers..) which will make us happy for a second before getting back to reality and watching the Knicks getting embarrassed almost every game.
