The Somber-tics have spoken! Please, bring them a goblet of something meaningful!

Screw them! CONGRATS TO MELO FOR THE SCORING TITLE AND THE ATLANTIC DIVISION TITLE!!!!!

Exactly, people act like it wasn't 13 years + that we had won the Division Title... like the last scoring champ the knicks had wasn't 28 years ago... complete BS to just dismiss this years accomplishments for this team and Melo

this team hasn't won a title in 40 years why so much emphasis on scoring title?.. if some people are not impressed then so be it...

Weren't you the same exact troll telling others on RealGM how Melo "never won a scoring title" dating back to the trade? That's all you harped over as a way of diminishing and/or discrediting Anthony's scoring ability; is that he never won a scoring title. Now, it's eating you alive that you can no longer state such. Isn't it TKF?

You forgot to mention the facts that Melo ranked 12th in scoring during only his rookie season and never looked back. One of the greatest pure scorers this game has ever seen. You refused to mention how he ranked 8th in scoring back in 05-06. 2nd in 06-07 behind only Kobe Bryant. 4th in 07-08 only behind Iverson, Bryant and LeBron. 3rd in 09-10 behind only LeBron and Durant. 3rd in 10-11 behind only LeBron and Durant.

And now that he's beat out the scoring champion in Kevin Durant for his scoring title here in 2012-2013? You're still spinning ****. Acting as if the scoring title doesn't matter but yet during the offseason you used Anthony never winning a scoring title against him as a way of diminishing his scoring ability. You are by far the worst type of troll/tool out there. You're a hypocritical hypocrite.

I've given Melo a lot of credit for being a very good scoring specialist this year. I'm not sure what you or Fish are disagreeing with.
A very good scoring specialist? That was Eddie House. True or false? Right now Melo is a top 5 player.

I mean lets just call it like we see it no? Ive not been impressed by much he has done as Knick (considering the cost) but this has been a great year. Carousel of injuries, guys coming and going, tons of lineup changes... but the one consistent thing this year has been Melo. Dude wins the scoring title, all star and leads a Knick team to the 2nd seed where the next best players are Felton, JR, Chandler and a bunch of guys in their 40s.

Now if Melo goes cold, shoots 40%, takes 30 shots a game and Knicks lose to the Celtics in 6 run him out of town.

Does anyone who's been watching think thats happening?

This thing has yet to play out, and Melo has yet to earn his NY stripes.. thats gonna happen in the playoffs (or not). All I know the guy has delivered this season, Knicks are #2 seed and your talking about advanced stats that paint him as a scoring specialist? cmon man...

I just want the Knicks to compete for a title. Melo has put them in position to do that. Some scoring specialist!


Papabear Says

Fishmike you are wasting your time debating these guys. You are playing into their hands. There is nothing you can do to make them see your point of view. So whats the use?? Just enjoy your Knicks and have fun. Don't let these guys rain on your parade.

Durant didn't give up, Melo just went on an extraordinary run (avering 40pts over 6 games) and 35 for the month. Is it really that hard to give the man credit. Sheshhh!!!!

I was just about to hammer out a response but thank you for taking care of that for me

"but he's inefficient and the stats indicate that he isn't very good and blah blah blah!"

whatever - I don't understand the point of posting here if you can't even get excited about the biggest news this team has had in a very, very long time. People did backflips here when David Lee made the All Star Game yet now a scoring title is ultimately a notch above meaningless. Whatever

Then let me explain:

You trying to dictate what people need to be excited about is what turns people off. And if this was a thread celebrating the division title you wouldn't see these posts but I don't see any threads celebrating the division title. We do have 100s of threads celebrating MElo and zero threads celebrating the Knicks. There was a time when people in this board understood the difference.


Papabear Says

Come on! you know that a thread celebrating the division title would only wound up being a hate Melo debate and the haters will find something wrong with that thread also. They would say it means nothing to win a division title. You know how the haters role.

House was a bad scorer who was very bad at everything else. Melo is a very good scorer who is average to slightly below average in most other areas of the game.
The biggest difference between us, though, is probably how little credit you give to the players other than Melo. I'd never know from reading your posts that this team has the league's most efficient scorer, best offensive rebounder, and several other very good players.
