"Rose has allowed just 0.77 points per possession overall on defense this season, an elite mark for any defender, regardless of position. Chris Paul (0.86 points per possession allowed), Rajon Rondo (0.83 PPP allowed), and Russell Westbrook (0.92 PPP allowed) –- all excellent defenders -– have been trumped statistically this year, and by no slim margin. Rose has each of those players handily beat, and boasts a shockingly comprehensive defensive profile. Rose is particularly effective in defending isolation sequences, where he allows just 0.61 points per possession."

Rose had more blocks than Lebron last season + 1st overall blocks for a PG (21 more than 2nd place) + 2nd overall perimeter/jumper blocks for a guard (3rd overall blocks for a guard).


Said statistics are certainly not the be-all and end-all to thee argument, as it doesn't weigh in eye-tests; team-defense/help-defense influence; opponent-matchups; weight of offensive-load; defensive-intangibles - but it gives you a general perspective of where they both sit, in terms of defensive ability/efficiency.

That isn't a mark of a TERRIBLE defender. Now sit your dumb ass down. :pinkyringnikka:

where do yo go if youre the Knicks?

is this roster workable with a better coach? What needs to change?

I was gonna say draft a backup big, but the Knicks need to replace Kidd ASAP. Draft a PG and have him develop to where he can one day lead.


Shane Larkin, Erick Green, Myck Kabongo, Nate Wolters.

Hell, buy low on Jimmer and see if a change of scenery will do him good.

Breh, I'm the commander-in-chief of shytting on Melo for those two things.

That said, he's not the culprit for what has transpired. He's only going to be a part of the problem going forward if they never win.


let's keep it real tre, you hating on Melo was just an extension of your hatred of all things Nuggets. you've been real :flabbynsick: on the criticism/jokes since the trade. :birdman:

I've been saying this for years. He's one dimensional and if his shots aren't falling, not only does he have no effect on the game but he actually has a negative effect cause he keeps shooting.

Hopefully he matures like pierce did later in his career and will understand he won't win a title on his own and needs to affect the game in other ways, especially when his shots are falling.

Most overrated player in the league by far.

I love how you go from thread to thread arguing shyt but then disappear from them once you (always) get proven wrong.

Don't worry, your day will come, stay positive and don't do anything drastic.

In what threads did I disappear after been proven wrong? If you can point out to where I was wrong, I will gladly admit to it. Until then, get off my dikk.

Naw, not really but he's not a max level player either. He's an elite scorer who is really fun to watch. He's like Nique when he was in Atlanta.

PP was a good defender, great team defender, and always had work ethic. Melo and him are different. PP doesn't have Melo one of kind scoring ability but PP has other things Melo lacks. With that said, Melo like PP doesn't need to be your best player or you aren't winning a ring.

a) I'm not wrong about either of them

b) I never disappeared in either thread

c) You don't watch the Nets nor the Warriors, so acting like you know how they play is :russ: status

Oh so I have to watch EVERY game to know how they play?

Gtfoh, if you know basketball at all, you'd know it's not that difficult to figure out a player

get the fukk outta here with the bold. a guy who hasn't stepped foot on a court in over a year is better than melo? will rose ever even be the same player he was? current duncan isn't better than melo. dwight the tin man :heh: the now mythical healthy wade is even a stretch. nowitzki hasnt been shyt since he won a ring :flabbynsick: and paul george? get the fukk outta here :what:

If you called the pacers and offered melo for Paul George they'd laugh in your face

The only one on that list I might not take over melo is wade

But if I'm building a team and going for a championship that year, I'd take everybody else on that list over melo and probably could add ten more players (at least)

There's way more team friendly players that don't need 25-35 shots that I'd rather have on my team that can help a team in other ways
