Chauncey's Still Got It

Let me just say that there's no realistic argument to be made that Chauncey is a better player than Carmelo but from the second this deal was done I've said that Chauncey might be the bigger acquisition. Sure Melo is gonna be the one counted on, along with Amare, to put up major numbers night in and night out, but without the poise and leadership of Chauncey it would all be for not. Controlling a game is what he does, and whether or not the Knicks need to score 120 to win one night or slow things down and put up 85 to beat the Heat the next, it's ultimately Chauncey who is behind the wheel controlling the pace and there aren't many better at it in the NBA.

Christ in less than a week the guy is already winning the hearts of New Yorkers with his deep range, clutch free throw shooting, and Mr. Big Shot tendencies. Bottom line is that Chauncey knows how to win a championship, and if the Knicks are willing to follow him they'll have a legit shot to win at least one playoff series this year and many more down the road.

I'll tell you what Knick fans, you got a steal with this guy and you're gonna fuckin love him. Mark my words.
