I'm a basketball fan and love D Will's game but what bench do the Nets have to give them a 3 or 4 seed? just curious if someone can shine some light on this method of thinking for me.
And I don't remember all this melo hate or whatever people want to call it when he was in Denver.

thats your 2nd time posting that article in here. Read the 1st paragraph and closed the page
I think the Knicks have a very good chance of being very good, or blown all the way up.
Play well, lucky bounces, everyone buys in, sure, things get done. They could get a 4 seed or so.
Things don't go well.......we could see a lot of quit. A lot. Kidd and Chandler won't be able to keep it straight forever, if Melo and Stat go sideways, forget it. And JR will follow suit wherever they go. At that point, NY would have to start lookin to get out and move people fast.
I hope, that it works out and the team plays well, is a lot of talent out there, just need to put it together. Would be nice to have them fighting with Boston and Miami and Indy etc. Some of those old rivalries, ya know? But the mix just may not be there and that could lead to problems.
Add to that, Stat never makes me feel safe in terms of his injury luck. Not the hand, that's random ****, but his legs/back, etc. Those make me nervous. They should really try to sell high on him when they can.

Being on the bench not playing ball for weeks = out of shape. I know you have more common sense but i guess its clouded by hate

I agree with you 100%
I'm somewhat optimistic because I think the players really like Woodson and have respect for him. It shows with how we played after he took over. I'm not worried about Kidd being a backup PG for 10-15 mins a night like most are he could be one of the best backup PG's in the league cause of his limited role. What I am worried about is Stoudemire being a legit #2 option if he can't give us 20-22 points and 8-9 rebs we could be in real serious trouble. This teams ceiling is a #3 seed if everything goes right but would probably be a #4 behind Miami, Boston, and Indiana. I don't believe in the Nets at all that hype will die down quick when opposing teams are dropping 100 points a game against them.

At the end of the day...it's the Knicks.
They're going to disappoint. As always.

Nah, I think Boston goes to Miami. Ray might get into a tussel with Rondo on opening night....maybe they will send the goons out to take care of Ray's lightwork. Dexter Pittman???

You can't say Knicks will be 5th seed and just say a bunch of "if" and "what"...
Hows the Nets bench ?
what happenes when D will sit down?
Whos backing up Lopez?
Will Lopez still be averaging 6RPG ?
When Joe Johnson shy away and bricks everything as usual ? I could say the same
KNICKS LINEUP
T. Chandler
Amare
Melo
Brewer
Felton
BENCH
Camby
K. Thomas
Novak / White / Copeland
J.R Smith / Iman Shumpert
Kidd / Prigioni
And for the first time Knicks will get a full training camp with the team they will most likely have for the remaining season
How are Nets better ? Beside the starting PG position ?
Most of the team now plays very good defense, you can knock Melo and Amare maybe. But who else on the team don't play good defense? Chandler? Brewer ? Iman ? Felton ? Camby ? K. Thomas ? Kidd ? Smith plays good pressure defense at times when he dont start fouling

I'm assuming this was posted already, but whatever[h1]LeBron James' Dinner Offer Turned Down by Olympic Swimmer Lauren Perdue[/h1]
For the athletes, the Olympics are all about hooking up—unless you are LeBron James.
NBA superstar and U.S. Olympic basketball player LeBron James was blocked recently, only it came away from the basketball court and from the diminutive U.S. swimmer Lauren Perdue.
Perdue tweeted this gem prior to the Games starting, which was retweeted by University of Virginia.
Shortly after, she tweeted this pic off to the masses via Instagram:
Photo Credit: Lauren Perdue Instagram
Inquiring minds want to know what is going down in the Olympic Village, especially as King James is currently engaged to Savannah Brinson, according to The L.A. Times.
Perdue did manage to clear some things up with the Charlotte Observer's Scott Fowler:
Oh, so he was joking. Move along, nothing to see here then.
Photo Credit: Yahoo Sports
This could easily be a matter of James passing along a gracious invite to have some dinner with him. Perhaps he was on his way there himself and was going with some other NBA stars. Maybe, just maybe, there were offers to other Olympians and Perdue was the only one to tweet out the implications.
Of course, this could also be one man having a little crush. We may never know the whole story, making this the greatest mystery in all of Olympic history.
That's right, of all time.

Did the Nets dynamic really change that much with JJ in the mix?
Without seeing the Nets play, the only way you can compare them to other teams is ON PAPER... and the Knicks are the perfect example of a powerhouse team on paper.
The Pacers are the only team that we can safely assume to be in the Top 3-4 in the East. The Knicks haven't proven anything (they've yet to mesh) and the Nets haven't proven anything (they've yet to play). And the Celtics have questions around them as always.

The Knicks were dysfunctional last year. Not sure how it'd be much different this year.
I wouldn't be surprised if either team landed seeds 2-5 in any order (along with the Celtics)... Anything under 5 would surprise me.
If only Bulls weren't in a tanking mode this season because of D.Rose injury

Yes. Every year the is supposed to be the Knicks year, just like the ********, and just like the ******** their fans buy into this year being different from the last 20 despite no real organizational changes of culture that would spur such a drastic improvement.
Folks in DC claiming the ******** are the best team in the NFC East because of RG III....I don't live on FAN-tasy island, I am a realist and I don't ever expect too much from them. 6 wins max for the Skins this year.....and that is a success. The Knicks will be a middle of the pack Eastern Conference team and a first or second round knock out again.
