Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

Melo efficient for USA

Carmelo Anthony is averaging 15ppg, shooting 60%, including 44% from behind the arc in 19mins/game over the last 3 contests against turkey, lithuania and russia. he has committed just 2 turnovers so far. he is also rebounding well and hes moving the basketball well.

for comparison, the reigning mvp is averaging 13 points per game and shooting 51%, including 27% from 3 in 22min/contest. he has totalled 4 turnovers so far.

im just sayin..

I know people think I'm crazy

but I’d love to see us play Melo at the four at times. I really think he could be more efficient there. He’s quicker than most 4’s, and strong enough to bang with them. Plus, this might force him to really pursue rebounding more. I really think he could average a double double in this league.

i think coach k has been playing him and lebron and the 4 and 5 respectively at times. the usa lineup is actually quite small. im amazed melo can compete with the actual bigs but clearly he can. he definitely can work the post but id say he would get monstered by most starting nba bigs.

STIFF LIST (as of 2/7 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. THE NUGGETS AT HOME
How is it possible that a Nuggets team with this much talent can be 7-5 at home?! Things have gotten so bad that fans are clamoring for J.R. Smith to return.

2. CARMELO ANTHONY
Kobe Bryant plays through any and all ailments. Melo uses any and ailments as an excuse not to play.

3. KEVIN LOVE
Just when the T'Wolves are looking better, Love stomps on Luis Scola and lands himself a two-game suspension.

4. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS
The 'Cats have lost 11 straight and are now 3-21 ... in the Eastern Conference! This is what happens when you let an underwear salesman with a Hitler mustache run your team.

5. MIKE BROWN
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew (Google it!) got himself a one-game suspension for making contact with a referee.
