Apparently Anthony's ill timed 3 at the end of the Charlotte game was really the result of a botched play. At least this article seems to indicate Douglas botched the play and Carmelo covered for him.

Makes sense, as the Melo's shot seemed a little bit early and quick, and TD did mess up on that set play. Denver Melo probably throws TD under the bus, but NY Melo showing a little more leadership and maturity.
Denver Melo smirks, Denver Chauns takes the blame.
So its a new season, new players, Chandler had just a few practices with the team, and NYK is panic city.
Good for Melo. Bad for us. TD is fucking horrible! Stick him at SG off the bench.
that is a good sign for melo. and that the group is still together.
there haven't been too many good signs, so i'll take what i can get.
We are all quick to panic, but we have to do our best to realize there are 60 games left. Might not end up with the 40+ win season we were hoping but as long as we are comfortably in the playoffs all will be fine. We are one of the most dangerous playoff teams regardless of our seeding and everyone in the league knows it.

Melo can win one game for you... We can hit 50% of 3-pointers another time... what about other 2 games?

Hopefully a healthy Amare. Melo/Amare combination can win you games. It's the playoffs, depth won't play as much of a role. These guys will play 40+ minutes a game.

Melo/Amare is not Shak/Cobe or Lebron/Wade, not even close.
To will play-off series we need a TEAM.
If it will miraculously emerge from this group of strangers that we will have a chance.

No one is saying a team with Melo and Stat and little else is a favorite to beat the Heat, i am just saying a team like Orlando, Indy, Atl, Boston, etc does not want to meet Melo and Stat in the first round of the playoffs. Neither do the Heat or the Bulls. Regardless of the lack of depth, a team with Melo and Stat is extremely dangerous in a playoff series.

This is true and especially by that time in the season when the team will have better chemistry and hopefully B. Diddy will be playing. If he is playing well by then this team will look a lot different.
