Anthony made it clear he still “trusts Phil’’ and is trying to enjoy a vacation before ramping up his summer rehab training.

Holfresh, you gotta stop rooting for the jersey names and start rooting for the "jersey".

It took me a few years to separate myself from this thought process, and now I can see team sports clearly. I pretty invented the "Youtube Melo" thread!

Separate yourself from the player, and root for the team and I think you'll have a better go of it.

That youtube video just doesn't get old. I wonder if you could rewind a few weeks and show the garden fans those clips vs. OK4 if they would still be booing.

Watching KP he does so many things right. Like dropping his elbows to strengthen his core right before taking contact or how he protects the ball with his body or how he goes straight up and doesn't chase the ball...

Im really looking forward to watching this kid develop.

Thanks fishmike! Miss you guys...the losing got to me. Bad.

I would turn off games mid game, sometimes in the first half. I'm starting to root now, for the "jersey" and anyone who exemplifies or plays for the team.

Watching GS win the chip with "our" almost coach with their beautiful share the ball system and defend with fervor 1 through 15 is how I imagine good bball teams should play.

I think with the solid off season we had we should easily double our worst season (34-40 wins) and maybe nail a spot in the playoffs in the Leastern Conference.

Give KP and Grant a taste of the playoffs, and keep adding building blocks season to season.

Melo...ugh, his face repels me.

Phil was asked if Melo will have to do more as a scorer this year and he responded by saying no it's a team game...This is the article that resulted:

Phil Jackson and Carmelo Anthony haven't talked since free agency began, and team president isn't concerned if Knicks’ star is upset with latest moves

LAS VEGAS – Carmelo Anthony is a franchise player in name only. Phil Jackson revealed on Monday that he hasn’t spoken with the Knicks superstar since the start of free agency and added that he isn’t concerned if Anthony is upset over the direction of the club.

“Well, you know, we’re a team sport,” Jackson said. “When we’re putting a team together that’s our first priority; how do we make a team that works together? That’s the important aspect. How this all comes together is still a mystery for us. We’ve got five months to kinda get into it here.

“Obviously Carmelo is a guy that is a premier player, we understand that. But it’s a team game. And it has to fit together.”



It's time to sharpen up Knick fans, you are being played...

has playa2 hijacked your account? Seriously what are you talking about? Should I be worried about the government?

I saw the Phil Jackson article yesterday and saw how the reporter twisted what he said to create controversy..If you want to be gullible and run with their daily rants, have at it...

ChuckNBuck you have got to start using your brains...You are being played like most...Look at the most recent article by Isola yesterday that I refused to post because of it's obvious attempts...I saw the Phil Jackson interview..It was completely written differently to be provocative...To reach gullible Knick fans..It's working...

Holfresh, stop being so defensive about any Melo criticism, it's unbecoming of you.

Love the Knicks and team and whoever puts team before themselves, not the "player". Detach yourself. You'll see it's better this way.

I tired of the bullshiit...You are being played..You are a victim..No shame in that...

It's okay Holfresh, I admit I was a Melo groupie before. Posted dozens of Youtube videos on his behalf on this site alone.

I've seen the light...this guy is not a team player. Everything negative or derogatory said or quoted about him is true, and I accept that I was wrong for believing him to be something that he wasn't.

He's a poor man's Allen Iverson in a 6'8 puffy body. Ain't nothing wrong with that, both will probably enter the hall due to sheer buckets.

That said, at least AI was able to drag the Eric Snow/Aaron McKie/George Lynch/Mt. Mutombo sad sack of a team to the NBA Finals at least once in his career. No such case for Melo.

Root for the team, root for the rookies, root for the new additions like RoLo, O'Quinn, Afflalo who all want to play and win here. Don't root for the guy that openly trashed our draft pick and the trade of his fellow chucker THJR.

yep ... most of us have seen the light however we pray that this can change though we know that it probably won't.

I predict that by the end of next season, pretty much everyone will be ready to run Melo out of town while Holfresh will be holding on like sadams foreign minister when his house was being bombed.
