This is typical Celtics. Go down early, come back in the middle of the game to take the lead in the 4th only to lose at the end.

I was totally prepared for this scenario and it happened like it usually does.
 
Compared to his usual self yes, but outside of Tyson he's the only player who has been worth a damn on that team for more than a week and that doesn't even consider how long he was out with injury.

Only player that could possibly look decent in that situation is Durant due to crazy range and LeBron due to his physical gifts and having the past experience playing with a D-league level squad. Still easily the third best sf in the league.

Melo has a decent PG, a defensive SG Amare at PF (Though he has been booty) and Chandler.

he also has a 6th man off the bench and a great 3 pt shooter. Dude is supposed to be a first option All-Star. Switch him out for a healthy Gallo and this current Knicks team is much better off.

His team mates aren't CHip quality but he should be able to pull them into the top half of the playoff seedings. I mean, they were better without him.

You could sub tons of SFs for Melo and The Knicks would instantly become better.

Pierce, Granger, Iggy, Marion, Deng, Rudy Gay. That list shouldn't be that long if you're paying someone 100 million american dollars.

Rondo is fucking worthless in the final minutes... its not even mental, he just lacks the skillset needed from a point guard in late game scenarios.
 
Best home team in the NBA and the media is dying for a trade.

How does it work. How does it work!!!!

Um...you can be 41-0 at home but if you're 0-41 on the road, you're screwed.
The Lakers stink on the road. The Lakers won't have home court advantage in the playoffs in a Western Conference/Finals. The Lakers have one of the worst point guards in the league. One of the weakest benches in the league. So yea, the Lakers need a trade if they're going to compete in the playoffs.
 
You mean the shot that slipped out of his hand and happened to go in.

Did it go in? Did he take the shot instead of acting like a bitch and avoiding the shot? Yes? Then yes, Kobe does what LeBron don't. Show up when in it matters most.

Kobe called the shot for Bynum? Another thing Kobe does that Bron don't: show leadership.

Proof the lakers are so much better whan it's Kobe+ one of the bigs not just kobe dribbling at the top of the key trying to hit a low percentage "hero" shot.
