I like amare, but if I talk about him, then you will get those who feel I am now hyping him up to put down carmelo.. for me, the joy of watching this team will come when carmelo and a few others on this team are gone.. hopefully it is soon....
lol. You're not enjoying our current season? You my friend, are not a Knicks fan. Sorry. But you're not.
Our Knicks feature a 26-11 record during games in which Melo has played. That's a winning percentage of .702% while Melo has ranked 2nd amongst all NBA players in scoring. Keep on scoring Melo, because when Melo not only plays but also scores? Our Knicks win at a clip of .702%.
During Melo's first (full) season as a Knick, our Knicks are 1st place of our Atlantic Division 44 games into the regular season. Something in which we haven't won since 1994 and/or only two times under the Ewing era.
During only Melo's first (full) season as a Knick, his Knicks are 2nd place of the Entire Eastern Conference 44 games into the regular season. Only 1/2 a game behind the Defending World Champions; The Miami Heat.
But yet, you can't enjoy our current season/team and/or the greatest overall Knick since Patrick Ewing and/or one of the greatest offensive forces our franchise has ever featured in Carmelo Anthony? That's nice to know.
Our Knicks were only 23-21 44 games into the regular season during Gallo, Wilson Chandler, Mozgov and AR's final season as a Knick. You know, the same players in which you talked up like no tomorrow. 23-21 44 games into the regular season. Those players on the Knicks roster before the Melo trade? Down right pathetic.
Also, for as much as you bash and/or harp all over Carmelo Anthony due to his playoff record, it's quite funny, because Melo led the Nuggets to the postseason each and every year dating back to his rookie season. Got drafted by a laughing stock franchise but yet still managed to lead his Denver Nuggets franchise to the postseason each and every season including a trip to the Western Conference Finals. Your little hero in Gallo? During his first 4 seasons? Only two postseason appearances and guess what? Both were first round exits bwhahahahahahaha. If Gallo's Nuggets even make the postseason here in 2012-2013? Gallo will once again, be eliminated during the first round of the playoffs.
Mention Melo not leading his team(s) out of the first round of the playoffs again TKF (as you've done for oh so many years now) and I'll continue to stuff Gallo down your throat while talking basketball. Last but not least, I really hope you enjoy our Knicks improving to 27-11 tonight (during games in which Melo has played/led the way).
