I said once Carmelo Anthony and Amare got back that they would ruin the chemistry to this team because of the constant need of the ball. They are obviously good players but do not play well together. With lin in there before they had a good chemistry and team play now at that is gone. I know it's just one game but they are down by 20 and I felt I like I should congratulate myself for being right so far.

Well lets just say the Knicks are tired and the shots aren't falling tonight, not to mention Deron WIlliams is hitting from 3 big time. It happens.

You could be right. We will just have to wait and see.

Yes it is. With Oakland losing all the star players he realized he didn't need star players but players to get on base and win the game. Example Carmelo and Amare always needing the ball and changing the team. I agree it's just one game.

amare doesn't always need the ball. he's done work in this system for years and years. it's not like he all of a sudden can't play in it

Moneyball comparison is dumb. Baseball is not really a team sport in a statistical sense.

no, it isn't. you're right

but there are undervalued stats and advanced statistical analysis in basketball, too

the undervalued areas is the most important part of MB, though
