A Different Guy

Carmelo Anthony has suddenly turned back into a great player. Obviously there was something about Coach D'Antoni that didn't agree with him and he may also have been more hurt than was being reported. Anyway, he's lethal again, and very reminiscent of the player he was at his best in Denver, but with a better supporting cast, starting with Tyson Chandler and Iman Shumpert. Novack and Smith have also been key contributors - though Smith remains a work in progress. Amar'e should be back soon, and we'll see how he is used by Woodson. It could be off the bench and that might really make the Knicks more dangerous. Lin looks like he could be back some time in the playoffs. The Knicks are currently blowing out the Wiz and there seemed no point in waiting till this one was over. Go Knicks.
