sez me... a lot of hyped rookies usually have to go through serious pain in the first year: they don't get calls, and physically they get punished by the vets. and that's why it usually taked years for them to flourish big-time, if they do at all. or second year players who've come off surprsising rookie years usually drop off because of the same thing. i wouldn't be surprised if amare drops off a bit. the same thing will happen to melo but it WON'T happen to LeBron because he is FREAKING HUGE!!! and as fast or nearly as fast as anyone else out there. so i don't expect to see him drop off from his good start, i think he's only gonna get better cause nobody can stop him but himself. he's gonna put up a hurt, stat-wise, on melo tonight. too bad this isn't soccer, this sort of game should end in a draw. instead of whatever garbage 85-71 type score that it does.
