    This is why I was hoping the deal that didn't involve Dre was the one that Philly took. A Dre-AI-JR-Melo-Camby lineup would be scary, especially if they ran like they should. Before you put Blake in the starting lineup though, there are two things you need to know:

    1.) JR has only been back for 2 games. He's still getting used to AI, and he's getting used to playing again. He'll be fine.

    2.) Steve Blake is not going to play like last night ever again. He's a decent backup PG at best. Expecting more from him is a disaster.

    Right now, I just want Melo to come back so we can stop the bleeding, get things going and get into the playoffs. Once we're there, it's anyone's game.

    Carmelo Anthony would get eaten alive defensively at PF. Offensively it would work well however. You also have the problem of taller guard matchups.

    Rumor has already been shot down on the Nugs site. The way he's playing, I doubt he goes anywhere. Sounds like one of the higher ups in the organization has been wanting to get Blake since last summer.

    Don't worry. There'll be a few times this year where he'll make you look like a prophet.

    Some guys fit some places and just not others. Blake, to this 'point'.

    Think Danny Ainge might accept a King's X for last June?
