Quick post to point everyone to the Knicksametrics Gang (or K-Gang) page. This lists all the current standings for our contest. After the first 2 games, only Beau G remains undefeated.
Knicks
have been very impressive these last two games, beating the Miami Heat
and the Philadelphia 76ers by a combined 34 points. The defense has
been strong and Carmelo is leading by example. As I had posted
in May, Carmelo may be poised to take the MVP this season. This is am
uphill battle because LeBron and Kevin Durant will be maintaining their
great games, and there will be other contenders to the throne.
Speaking
of contenders, can the Rockets be good this year? I like Harden and
Lin in the backcourt, along with Omer Asik playing defense and grabbing
rebounds. In fact, they are one of the five teams that I have chosen
for my NBA League Pass Choice
because I am expecting an exciting season with them. I also expect
Daryl Morey, GM of the Rockets, to make another big trade before the
deadline. They will have a "Lin-derella" season but will end up losing
in the first round of the playoffs.
I also want to thank Iman Shumpert for bringing the 80s back.
I have never been this into the first few games of a new season before. This should be fun.
