Carmelo's Crunchtime Offense

Melo went to the Kobe School of Krunchtime Offense this offseason

 Melo has been shooting terribly this year at just over 40%..  The Knicks are losing to everyone.  Amare can't get enough shots up because Melo hogs the ball and slows down the pace.  D'Antoni is going to get fired because he's not able to win with Ammelo.  NY is relying on a terribly out of shape Baron Davis to give them a spark after he comes back from an injury that caused Cleveland to amnesty his ass and has kept him out all season.  The Knicks only bright spot is recalling Jeremy Lin from their D-League Erie team who played one game, messed around, and got a triple double.  But as Warriors  fans we know what putting hope in Jeremy Lin eventually leads to.

Here to save you

Thanks to Posting and Toasting for much of this information....or at least links to information I eventually found elsewhere on the internets.

NBA Town Hall; Curry+Durant+Amar'e

Scissor!

This is something to play over your laptop through your bluetooth speakers at home in preparation for the Christmas games

BOOM

Listening to Aldridge change his vernacular is hilarious. He doesn't sound like that on the sidelines or on NBA TV.  I guess that's how he gets these guys to open up?

Highlights

• Steph's New Year's resolution is to only eat 1 pack of candy/day
• Amar'e has vowed to positively influence the local youth
• Amar'e eats through half the town hall

Amar'e Opting In

Here is an awesomely insightful piece by KD over at Ball Don't Lie about why Phoenix is looking to get out of Amar'e's contract via trade before the season's end.

PEEP IT

This post also gave me a reason to put up a picture of Stoudemire's sweet Oakley Blades. Incredible.

NBA's "Behind The Backboard" Camera; 11/8/09

The "Behind The Glass Backboard" camera at NBA games takes some sweet action shots. Such an interesting angle, so many amazing looks captured forever on digital storage devices. It's so cool that I often dream about being minaturized and sitting behind the glass. Please Professor Frink, make this happen! Let's have a look at Amare's dunk during the Sun's 102-90 win at Washington last night:



One's eye immediately goes to Amare's Oakley Blades which were often blogged about by me last year. He lost the yellow shade lens, but boy are those things awesome. Word on the calle is that Amare hates wearing these things but whole "detached retna" injury which caused him to sit on his ass for 5 months got him thinking that they're necessary. Way to use your big brain, Amare.

The vision is then focused on Amare's underarm deodorant. Thankfully, he wants to smell good for the games. I'm guessing it's Degree 360 by the looks it.

Now that's some great defense by Deshawn! This idiot is in ultimate "there's no WAY I'm getting infront of that" scared mode. Nice neck beard and non-Lebron Adidas kicks by the way. Did Gilbert hook you up with some Adidas? Also, nice neck tatoo.

The best aspect of this phun with photo has to be Caron Butler at the top of the key. What in the hell is he doing? Is he so disgusted by The Wiz defense that he is hiding his eyes from a vicious Stoudamire dunk? Is he complaining to the ref that he got held? Is he checking his watch? Is he signaling to the Wizards bench? We shall never know the truth.

And this is why pictures tell 1000 stories. Or at least 4.
