Knicks Get Melo: Did they give up too much?

[RockHardTen1985]

Chuck I disagree. Bibby is exactly what you said they need. He can hit a 3 and run the offense. Bibby, even at this stage of his career is a huge pick up. Troy Murphy cant hurt either. His game reminds me a lot of my game. Limited minutes?? Bibby would play 30 plus minutes a game.

Bibby is better than what they have but he isn't exactly the type of creator that I was thinking of. His defense is below average at this point. Murphy is interesting but he has hardly played this season.

Having 3 guys that need the ball in there hand isnt the answer either. The Heat made their bed with Labron and Wade until they learn to handle the last 3 minutes of a tight game they are doomed. Have they won any close games this season, mind you the regular season is a complete waste of time in the NBA.

Nice call on the Celts resigning Perkins.

No players "need the ball in their hands". They need the ball in position to exploit matchups and to be able to attack the defense effectively. Playing James at the point the majority of the time makes defending Miami much easier.

The idea that they dont know how to "handle" the last 3 minutes of tight game is stupid. The problem is neither James or Wade is a great off the dribble shooter. But the offense that they are currently playing forces that very thing. Ideally you would want James and/or Wade attacking the basket from the wing with Bosh a pop out option and Miller a bailout. What is happening now is James has the ball, Wade is overplayed/or has the 5th wheel's defender helping out on him and Bosh/miller are merely decoys.

that's too much detail over a guy who is a proven choker. Any adjustments not including someone having the guts to tell him his outside jumper is pathetic in pressure situations is a complete waste of time. He has to decrease the hubris and realize he needs to take the god-damned ball to the basket and force them to foul. He is a power forward. Needs to play like one when the money is on the line.
