They have to give the MVP a higher rating. Idk bout Dray & Klay being 90 though. But hey, not surprised w/ 2K
 
I hope you dudes don't play online. Gunna play against the Warriors literally every game :lol:
 
i never play online. there's no point playing the cavs, warriors, or the heat (a couple years ago) in every game.
 
If I had to single one guy out who is the most difficult player to guard in the league, it would have to be Carmelo. He’s a unique blend of being big, strong, and athletic while also having a world-class shooting touch and a natural ability to get to the rim. That’s what sets him apart — every facet of his game is elite.

Some great players will have one or two particular skills that make them special. But Carmelo can do everything, which puts you in a baaad situation as a defender. A lot of guys might shoot better from certain areas, so you try to force them elsewhere on the floor. Carmelo doesn’t have a spot on the floor where he can’t consistently hit shots.

In my opinion, his combination of physicality and shooting touch is unmatched in the NBA. You can’t take one second off when you’re matched up against him.

Kobe is one of the best scorers in NBA history, but I don’t have as much trouble with him in the post as I do with Carmelo. LeBron is a great post-up player, but if you get him to settle for the jumper on some nights, you might be able to slow him down if his shot is off. That’s not the case with Melo. If you give him space to shoot, he’ll make it many more times than he misses it.

To put it plainly, he’s not a fun assignment on defense.

But then again, none of these guys are.

if carmelo averages around 6 assist per game with the amount of talent with him this upcoming season, the knicks will flourish

he tends of play iso ball in a stagnant offense because of the lack of talent he's been accompanied with and bad coaching these previous seasons.

opposing teams would just double team him easily to either force a bad shot, force a turnover, or give it up to an unwilling shooter.
 
with all the talent we have, the main concern is team chemistry since theres a lot of new players and new coaching staff
 
our bench talent is actually pretty decent

a lot better than last season

its more about team chemistry to me... this whole team is practically new.

almost everyone (players and coaches) have not played with each other
