Surprising it's terrible especially early. Those back taps really helped cool my furry
but dag. I want Tyson-bot not Flu like symptoms-Tyson.
7 miss ft...can't do it!!
I can't believe I am saying this but I would not trade Tyson straight up for Chandler at this point.
Not sure if its because I am appreciating Chandler more or have come to despise Howard (or both)
Howard needs to play with really good PG and maybe Nash will help there. Kobe is the worst teammate he can have.
+/- is more of a team stat when compared to an individual statistic. Just because Melo's +/- wasn't great doesn't change the fact that he's one of the greatest players in the world.
Toney Douglas.
Mike Bibby.
Landry Fields.
Bill Walker.
Jared Jeffries.
Josh Harrellson.
Jerome Jordan.
Dan Gadzuric.
But yet, we truthfully have people talking about a "plus/minus" of "last year" as a way of harping all over Carmelo Anthony? Ridiculous. More like too funny. I guess Melo should also apologize for Douglas, Bibby, Fields, Walker, Jeffries, Harrellson, Jordan and Gadzuric all being below average to very poor basketball players...

I think you misunderstood. I'm the only one who cited the +/- from last year for Melo and my argument was that it is a BS stat.

I would not trade Tyson for Chandler either! 
I assume you meant Tyson for Dwight!
Dwight looks like he's at the stage in his career Amare was at 2 years ago - the very beginning of the end.

Howard looks like Amar'e did in the first half of the season. Back injuries take a long time to heal. People were expecting Howard to be out until Christmas before the season started.
