| The Cavs spanked the Nuggets last night.
Also, Carmelo is starting to show some of the negative aspects that many basketball players show these days. There was the time last season when he refused to come back into a game when they were losing. He jealously complained about all the attention Lebron was getting. He bitched about playing time in the Olympics. He got caught with weed in his bag at an airport. Last night, Denver and Baltimore news stations showed a homemade video of Carmelo hanging out with people in his old Baltimore neighborhood, and some of the other people are talking about killing people who talk to the cops. Carmelo on the video says that his Olympic medal is "in a lake somewhere". He also refused to talk to the media after last night's game
LeBron, on the other hand, has been a poster-boy for the NBA both on and off the court.
People, myself included, thought LeBron and Carmelo would be the next Magic and Bird. But Carmelo is starting to look less like Bird and more like another highly-touted Syracuse prospect, Derrick Coleman.
I'm not gonna write off Carmelo just yet, but he better get his shit together.
On the flip side, Dwyane Wade has been just amazing for Miami. I thought he was gonna be really good, but i didnt realize he would be this good this soon. He's averaging 24.9 points (more than Shaq), 7.4 assists, and 5.4 rebounds per game. He also averages nearly 2 steals per game, and over a block per game. |
