The Melo situation reminds me of the country of China as described to me by my grandfather who was stationed in Shanghai just before WW II started. The country (Nuggets) was in horrible shape before Mao (Anthony) arrived on the scene. The people (Nuggets) were starving to death and dying in the streets and life expectancy was in the low 30's. These poor stiffs (Nuggets) were working, living, and eating in the same little sampans (Pepsi Center) in which they also took their dumps.
Anyway, the communists (Anthony) came and despite all of their horrible faults, were competent enough to take an absolute human catastrophe (Nuggets) and make the situation tolerable and, for the people (Nuggets fans) who have suffered so horribly and for so long, the improvement even appeared glorious. But like most flawed systems (Communism and Anthony) there is a peak. Despite massive influxes of Soviet Oil money in the 70's (Billups) the reality is that your best hope under the current system is to be king of the dipshits.
Like China's economic reforms that have lead to the boom, I am hopeful that the Nuggets recent reforms will allow us to shed permanent mediocrity and ascend to something greater than "meh".
