whenever someone mentions 'double nickel', it's how Jordan dropped it on us,

now Melo can change the entire landscape,

the double nickel can be a positive term for the Knicks

Trivia time, who was the last Knick to drop 50 points? I know the answer, do you?

I'd rather a Knick (be it Melo or someone else) take the MSG scoring record back. Kobe just waltzed in here - dropped 61 points against almost no resistance.

Wouldn't a double nickel be 10 points?

Thanks Bonn

Melo going for 55 would likely mean Iso-Melo to the n'th degree. With all the double teaming he faces, that would not be good basketball.

If he drops 55, he would be really hot that game, like anything he puts up is going in. I don't think he'll drop 55 shooting 39%, I think it will be a game where he is just on fire, en fuego nba jam style,

he hasn't been hot balls in a while, it's gotta be coming up soon

If it does happen it will be because Felton is back. Felton was breaking down the defense and getting Anthony wide open shots. Without Felton, he has to work much harder.

I'll provide you with these telling quotes from none other Lebron and Dwayne Wade....

“It's like a competition me and D-Wade are having right now about who can shoot 50 percent, in each and every game,” James said, when asked a couple of days later. “I had no idea, because I don't know what's going on throughout the game as far as stats. I came in after the game, I saw 9-for-19 and I missed that last long three, I felt I could have gotten into the lane and got a layup. I've got to make up for it.

“Early in my career, I didn't take every shot as seriously as I do now, to be more efficient,” James said. “It comes with age, it comes with experience. You know, when you're an 18-year-old rookie, or a 21-year-old, third year in the league, you can get away with a lot of mistakes, and not looking at numbers as much. But as I've gotten older, I've been more efficient, taking care of the ball. I value possessions more.”

“We're both so conscious of wanting to shoot 50 percent that sometimes you wish you had that Kobe [Bryant] thought, where you just don't care,” Wade said. “We talk about it all the time. It sucks at times, but it's who we are.”

Good for wade and lebron, it shows they have grown mentally when it come to their craft....

Here's what's even more telling from Wade's 9yr career this being his 10th...he's shot less than 49% only 4 times. So obviously he hasn't shot bad from the floor and to be fair he's primarily been a finisher in his career but taking this mentality/approach to the game only shows why these guys have been the standard.

Lebron never shot better than 49% until 2009-2010 but since then

50.3%
51.7%
53.1%
55.0%

ROTFLOL!!!!!

Neither are PROLIFIC or PURE or ELITE....Just a model of EFFICIENCY
