The current Nuggets weren't a 17 win team the year before either. Let's not pretend they were starting from the same place.
And I think a WCF appearance trumps slightly more regular season success.
Do you think this Knicks team is better than that Nuggets teams... as it sits right now?
That's not really relevant to the what that poster was trying to say with his baseless stat.
Agree to that, and I'll answer you
I'm just asking you straight up. What the other two guys are saying is Denver didn't really suffer when they traded Melo which I agree with... I used to be of the thinking that we were going to have an advantage because I used to view Melo as more of a big game performer... but that hasn't happened since he's been in NY except for the 1 game against Boston where he played a pretty much flawless game.
The other younger players on Denver at the very least still have the room to grow into big game performers where for us we need our guy to get back to who he was that 1 year in Denver where his team actually went deep into the playoffs.
