CA7
Scoring Champ
As disappointing as the 1st half of the season was we finally have a deep, healthy and all around team. No more excuses for these guys from the FO to the last man on the bench. We have to impose our will on the weak teams in the league and compete our asses off against the good to elite teams in the league.
With 31 games left at best I want us to be a 25-6 team but in all actuality I can see us going 22-9 and at worst 18-13
Mike D'Antoni- Needs to utilize his talent level, he needs to put our players in the best position to succeed, PERIOD
7 Carmelo Anthony- Needs to be the best scorer in the NBA and a force on the boards like he was in the All Star Game, contrary to popular opinion he's been defending better than he ever has(excluding 09 playoffs). Stat projections- 25ppg, 8rpg, 4apg with %'s at 48-38-88
1 Amar'e Stoudemire- Needs to regain form, he wont be the big scorer but he can have a big impact on the game. He just needs to be a force on the boards, diving to the basket and playing weak side D, if he can do all those things at a high level we can take that next step Stat projections- 18ppg, 11rpg, 2bpg with %'s 52-75(FT)
6 Tyson Chandler- just keep working your ass off and stop losing your cool. Nothing more for Tyson Stat projections-12ppg, 12rpg, 2.5bpg
2 Landry Fields- be the scrappy guy for last year and for gods sake work on that jumper, needs to step up and defend everyone like he did Kobe Stat projections- 12ppg, 5rpg, 3apg, 2spg, 1bpg with %'s 50-40-80
17 Jeremy Lin- he had the games where we needed him to score but now we need him to be a "Point Guard" in every sense of the phrase. He has to control our team and get STAT and Melo flowing, Landry and Tyson are fine they'll find their buckets. Stat projections- 10ppg, 12apg, 2spg with %'s 50-40-90(unlikely)
8 JR Smith- has matured since coming back and just need to come in and make plays for us, play your game spot up, attack and keep defending Stat projections- 12ppg, 4apg, 2 spg with %'s 45-42-85
21 Iman Shumpert- if he could be any 2 players I would love him to be Dwayne Wade on Defense and Russell Westbrook on Offense, so thats my goal for Shumpert to defend like Wade and attack like Westbrook I know he can do it, if you doubt him then fcuk your opinion Stat projections- 9ppg, 4rpg, 4apg, 2.5spg, 1bpg with %'s 45-35-80
9 Jared Jeffries- I dont have projections for him just come in play hard and dont turn the ball over Stat projections- play hard dont turn the ball over, make open lay-ups
85 Baron Davis- lead the 2nd unit, make plays and keep up the pace the 1st unit creates or pick the game up for us. Stat projections- 6ppg, 6apg
16 Steve Novak- shoot the J, shoot it, just keep hitting 3's, Stat projections- >50% from 3
55 Josh Harrellson- when you get back just be the scrappy player you are rebound, hit the open J and set great screens Stat projections- 5ppg, 7rpg
I got faith in my boys and hopefully they are hungry and want it just as bad as we do
