Speaking of the 3 point contest, can we stop with the scorer experiments? No need to have guys like Durant in the contest.

Carmelo is 7-21 FG.........through 3 quarters!

That would make him 42-122 FG over the last 6 games.

Dude...really?

Ryan Anderson is my early favorite to win the 3 point contest.

James Jones disagrees

I like JJ Redick as a player.

I see people are finally starting to realize and/or come around to the fact that Melo is overrated. Dude is not the franchise player a lot of people was making him out to be. I still laugh anytime I hear somebody want to try and say he is the best scorer in the league. I never understood that at all.

Always thought he was way overrated.

Yeah, but would he help defensively and make D'Antoni's offense anything but a regular season gimmick/farce. The Knicks suck because they don't have a defensive identity, while both Amar'e and Carmelo need the ball to be effective. Williams would help the offense look better but the team would get raped just to acquire him (like the Anthony trade).

from Spurs Nation

Deron Williams is a very good defender, and having Tyson Chandler in an actual running offense alongside Amare would allow them a defensive and rebounding presence down low too.

You dont need a defensive identity under a D'Antoni offense, as I've covered seventy-five THOUSAND times now. You just need rebounding and a defender or two on the perimeter.

That team would be WELL on their way to being very good.

God, it sure is hard to break wholly inaccurate perceptions the media builds.

Lakers need alot of things, but pg and 3 point specialists need to be at the top of the list.

I thought Kapono was supposed to help in that latter area? He guess even a former three-point champion can't knock down shots for them, right now.

FINALLY he gets some deserved recognition. Talk about extremely overdue. People absolutely destroyed the guy for years.

Rain threes on the haters, JJ.

I just saw White Mamba Dream Shake Ryan Hollins.

Goodnight everybody.

He's been awful the last few years, trending downward in a big way since his career numbers.

Why do people call him the best "pure scorer" or best scorer.. that never made sense. Durant? Kobe?

Suns win. Held Boston to 71 points, without Rondo. Wish he played. Flow to the game would have been much better, and the Suns O would have gotten into a better groove.

I wonder if Shaq is still going to be stupid enough to say Bynum is better than Dwight now??
