Ok :myman: looking for that Knicks -nuggets finals . How was Melos relationship with the Denver ownership by the way ?? It never seemed like the Bron Gilbert type of deal where they would protect him in the media . And they seemed kind of :yeshrug: once he left
Karl bore the brunt of the criticism during that era. I'm still surprised he didn't get fired.

I remember when the Melodrama first came up, our former GM was preparing to trade Melo for the first good offer he got (Iggy's name came up :leon:) but the owner told him to :sitdown: and convince Melo to stay.

Stan Kroenke didn't want to give him up. Melo was his cashcow and I don't think he (or anyone) expected we'd be this good now. #InMasaiWeTrust

really sucks that gallo and faried got injured. nuggets are very fun to watch. How serious is the faried injury? Seems like they could be absolutely fine without Gallo but faried is seems like a big blow.

Faried is the heart of this squad breh, we'd be absolutely fukked without him.

it's just a sprained ankle. he'll be ready to go for the playoffs.

I still say the Grizz matchup best against the Heat and would give them real trouble. They have great perimeter and interior defenders. They wall off the paint and can still defend the three point line.

With Gasol and Randolph at C and PF, they're gonna have a size mis-match on offense and can wear out the Heat's small-ball lineup.

LeBron and Wade each had one of their worst games of the season against them and it wasn't a coincidence. Memphis' problem is scoring, but I think they could keep each game low scoring enough where they'd have a chance no matter what.

They won't be able to score enough and they can't contain wade and Bron for 4 games. :manny: that's just my opinion .

How did Karl not get fired ? Did Melo like him ? I got the impression not really especially that ai season
