    The second team will be

    Either Jarvis or Chris, whoever doesn't make 1st
    Udonis Haslem
    T.J. Ford
    Francisco Elson
    either Kirk Hinrich, Jason Kapono or Zarko Cabarkapa

    this last one depends on whether Hinrich moves into the starting lineup for good alongside Crawford, whether Kapono gets Miles' minutes more consistently, and how soon Zarko can come back, and whether he picks up where he left off. Since it'll be a while for him, and since he won't pick up here, it's more between Kapono and Hinrich. Hinrich will probably get more minutes than Kapono though, so I'd hafta go with him.

    if bosh keeps playing the way he has been since he was inserted into the starting line up, he'll be at the top of that list.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Vintage:</div><div class="quote_post">You know, I used to think this was just you being a homer.....but you do raise an interesting point.

    <u>Stats</u>
    16.5 ppg 6.9 rpg 6.4 apg 1.3 spg 39.9% FG 31.5% 3-FG 70% FT
    18.8 ppg 6.9 rpg 3.1 apg 1.25 spg 39.8% FG 33.8 3-FG 75.6% FT

    First off, Nugzfan you ARE a homer.

    Secondly, this thread is not about bron vs. melo. That discussion is played out, and I'm sick of it. Talk about some of the other rookies. Also, please go back and read my first post on this thread.

    Bron has 3 more assists...so add 6 more points to his total value.

    And yes, you are a homer, be happy with that awesome team that Kiki built and stick to the topic.

    owned? for nothing? i think not my friend. you take the 6 more points, ill take the 9 more wins. in the west. that is the definition of owned. go buy a dictionary.

    (do you really think total value = points scored plus 2 times assists? lol!)

    So you are another Nugget fan that won't give any credit to Nene, Miller, Camby, Boykins, Anderson, Elson, and Lenard any credit just so you can say that Melo is getting wins to land ROY.

    How stubborn and disrespectful to the Nuggest franchise, a disgrace to Nugget fans....ok, I am getting carried away :mrgreen: all in good fun.

    Your Nuggets are one of the best teams in basketball. The Cavaliers don't have an Andre Miller or Earl Boykins to lead and conrtol this team late in games. Sorry, but Kevin Ollie does not cut it. No veteran leader that has never been on a winning team, does not cut it.

    Who do I blame for this? GM Jim Paxon of course. But I won't hate on the guy, this team does not need to win now. They have lots of time because they are so freakin' young.

    Why are you ignoring the fact that these 2 will be co-rookies of the year just as Jason Kidd and Grant Hill were? This situation is very close to mirroring that one.

    Stop being stubborn mate, praise these kids, don't hate.

    </div>Its too early to tell as of right now, too early. Lebron's numbers have been dropping and Melo is playing great. There are too many things that could happen between now and the end of the season. As of right now, I may be inclined to give a co-rookie of the year but it is still too early IMO.

    naw...nugzfan is a homer, but id still give it to carmello at this point. stats are close, but melo's team is winning, that was the deciding factor in amare winning last year, that should be the deciding factor here

    and lets not bring up teammate comparisons here, thats just silly...lebron has talent around him as well, with ricky davis, carolos and the ill ga-ga. Cleveland have a hot commodity with a legit center that has inside/outside game. i can think of a LOT of teams that would love to have big z as their center. besides, again to mention last year, amare was surrounded by a better team then caron was, but he still won ROY. Melo is leading his team to victories...in the west!

    Yea, I do think NugzFan is kinda being a homer, but, I think it's also Melo anyways, and I'm a Lakers fan. But, Melo, the stats are very close, but, I think what helps him is the fact his team is winning. Now, granted you can't give all the credit to him, cause, quite frankly, they'd be going nowhere without players like Miller and Boykins, but, he is a big part.
