New York Knicks- Because of Jeremy Lin's surgery, Baron Davis and Iman Shumpert has been the main point guard. We can see from their games that it is not enough from the two of them to facilitate the basketball team. With Lin's ability to score and pass, they miss him and Amare who also has a back injury and is likely to miss several games. With two of their main players out, it is up to Carmelo Anthony to step up and fill up the scoring load. It is time for him to show why the New York Knicks traded four of their starters for him and paid him big bucks to stay.
Minnesota Timberwolves- It was fun to see Ricky Rubio running the show until his injury occured. Before he was injured, they were making a run for the final spot for the playoffs in the Western Conference with him and Kevin Love. With the emergence of Pekovic, it wasn't enough as the Timberwolves have to wait for another year to make the playoffs.
Atlanta Hawks- Early in the season, Al Horford had a shoulder injury which was a huge meltdown because he was the starting center for the team. Josh Smith and Joe Johnson had to step up and show the Eastern Conference why they are still a dangerous team to compete against. Jeff Teague has shown a huge improvement on running the point and rookie Ivan Johnson has provided a spark from the bench with his energy and hustle plays with the addition of his offense.
