He actually was.
Uh, they lost to celtics last season too and look what happened in the playoffs. The regular season, especially the end, means zilch in the playoffs for the heat. Wade and Bosh were worn out and lebron was the only reliable player towards the end. I don't expect the same for the playoffs. And having battier alone makes them a better defensive team than last season.
The Maloofs would love to take them to Las Vegas, but I'm guessing Anaheim.
so you watched one game? he put up numbers shooting 37.5%
He's a scorer who shoots 41.9% in the playoffs.

As one of Carmelo People of Utah you are showing a surprising lack of confidence in Anthony.
Why Anaheim? Aren't there enough Cali teams? Isn't LA close?
Isn't it all just one smog filled, wasteland full of overweight chicanas?
Take it back to where people still hoop, and the mountains are white, where the hipsters will always call home.

I say Anaheim because that seems to be where they are looking to go, according to reports. Shit, Seattle deserves an NBA team, though.Why Anaheim? Aren't there enough Cali teams? Isn't LA close?

They tried to move to Anaheim last year didn't they? Would be sweet if they revived the Sonics though.
As a side note, I also want to see the New Orleans Jazz and Charlotte Hornets back. I'm also not crazy about the Clippers sharing a building/city with the Lakers but that's different.
Ma gosh!! Pierce was killing it last year. I still feel like they could have gone all the way if rondo hadn't been injured.

Minnesota Lakers were a better franchise as well. Title 50% of the time.
Just sayin, since the new NO owner was talking about trying to get the name back.
He's an idiot and was already told no by Stern
I never heard that Stern said no. I just remember when the dude bought the team the whole thing about wanting to change the name.

Lmao. Does he even have a recruiting class?
You don't hire larry brown for more than a 1-2 year tenure.
First of all he won a chip, more than the utah franchise has ever done.
Second of all when was he told no?
Next town Brown still mind fucking point guards I see...
lol so he's Drew Brees now huh?

you could just try doing a little research before you post, like Melo being so great last year.

Jazz would be a better name for Nola than Utah, but it's Utah's name. End of story.
Charlotte should get Hornets back, if Nola goes with a new name.

my SMU peeps told me its seven players. He literally told two of them "What happened in that game (the one where they couldn't break 28 points)?". They said something to the effect that they didn't know and the coach kind of let them do their own thing. Apparently he said "Well we're doing things differently now and you will not be a part of it." The nice thing is, they get to keep their scholarships but will not be let into practice.
My friend works at a good sports agency as one of their lawyer bros, and said when larry got signed some of the sophomore's parents immediately reached out to ask what this could do for them. Its pretty crazy situation for the ones that got cut, but even crazier for the ones who are staying at shitty mid-level SMU and are suddenly getting coached by Larry Brown.
should have just been 5 minutes of "Dwights leaving/Dwights staying"
Who else was Melo playing with last year? Who were the starting 4? Dude kept the knicks in that series, and came to close to stealing one once or twice.
Sounds like Stephen Jackson
They got swept....
Not trying to be a homer, but Kobe getting 3 wins vs. the Suns back in 06 with Smush & Kwame as starters would fit under "kept them in the series".
Games would have been a complete blowout without Anthony. Who else was providing offense? Not to mention he had just been traded. He had two games over 30+pts. He's somebody that will put points up on the Heat.
Yeah, he kept them in each game of the sweep.
Every single one.
4-0
But he was there. Shooting in the gym.
you fail to understand the basic concepts of basketball efficiency so there is no point in continuing this.
Melo was great in games 2 and 4... 1 and 3 not so much.
He didn't keep them in the series, he kept them in the games. A totally different dynamic entirely.
That said the Knicks have potential to upset the Heat or at least scare them a little. It just depends on Amar'e. Good luck with that, Knicks.

Look it wasn't pretty but somebody has to take shots to win the game. The fact that he even made one of those games close is a relative miracle. Take him out and it's a double digit blow out every game.
I watched that 42pt game, he took it to overtime if my memory is correct. But just because it was a sweep doesn't mean he totally sucked every game. Chris paul's hornets lost to the Lakers last season. Does that mean he sucked that series? No dude was on fire.
Point is Anthony has brought it in the playoffs more often than not. Yeah he's had bad games but when it's you frigging toney douglas and jared jefferies your going to have a tough go of it. Pointing to that Boston series just goes to show he can play decently in the playoffs even when his team isn't so hot.
Do you realize that um, Knicks got swept? As in, they didn't win a single game in the playoffs. Yeah?
Counter-argument to Melo "kept them in it" talk:

I'm gonna go cry now.

The fact is the Knicks probably win game one with no Carmelo in that series. One more win than they got with him.
Paul actually won games and put up a 67% TS, they arent even CLOSE to the same thing.
Point is Anthony has been swept 3 times and 3 more times only won 1 game, Shoots 3.7% worse while getting routinely lit up in the playoffs.
You go ahead and keep thinking he brings it or something though.
