Melo did nothing wrong here. He is standing up for himself and his woman. This is just basketball. You gotta stand up for your family.

I would agree with you if Melo did in fact stand up for himself,

but he didn't,

He bitched and moaned about it like a woman, then "talked it out" with KG,

In a situation like this you have two options:

--punch KG in the face ON THE SPOT!!

or

--go hard and drop mad buckets on his head

Either of those options, we can say Melo stood up for himself and his family,

but he chose to be a woman about it

You spoke of "reaping what you sow". Truer words were never spoken. If you only post about the things you don't like about about this squad, the negatives, you shouldn't be surprised if you get nothing but negativity in return.

let me be clear: if other posters-- not you-- believe that i don't want the knicks to win then any fruitful dialogue is impossible. seems to me there are a lot of guys who believe i root for the knicks to fail. hence my critique is often spun. take a good close look at my signature if you want to see where my heart is.

i have spoken glowingly of jason kidd this season but oftentimes people want to stress the negative of what i write, forgetting that a critique will sometimes be critical.

i am a big fan of sheed and kidd. i love shumpert and can't wait to have him back. i admire chandler and hope he and camby get more time together. can't not like thomas. all these guys have various degrees of old school about them and i am a big fan of old school.

i am kind of indifferent to brewer and novak and copeland. prigioni is growing on me.

not a fan of felton, smith, or melo.

not a big fan of woodson either.

Dk I have to ask if you watch the Knicks much. I can't ever remember you participating in a game thread or referencing actual plays on the court. Call me out on this if i am wrong.

i use a desktop and don't own a laptop or smartphone. i am assuming you guys do own these things. the desktop does not face the same direction as the television either. it is laborious and distracting to participate in game threads although i gave it a shot one game this year.

as to referencing actual plays on the court of course i have. people just don't like my take on things so they are predisposed to teasing out the negative i guess. it's unfair but posters like to get worked up. ideally we would be sitting in the same room and watching the games so we could explain to each other the value of a particular play or player in the moment.

dk, you did participate in ONE game thread this season. Your goal was (and it was evident with each post) was to point out every heat check, non pass, low pct shot and lack of defense by a certain player. I believe that this certain player went on to have a very good / efficient game that the knicks won and I believe that this gave you a bad taste for game threads.

A certain unethical player is not playing tonight so it may be a good time for you to once again attempt the game thread.

i watch the games with the sole object of seeing if my team is looking like it can contend for a title. i am not looking at carmelo anthony with a rah-rah attitude. you better believe i am going to criticize mistakes that, looking forward to a playoff matchup in the second around and beyond, he will make his team pay for dearly. same with smith and same with felton, same with stat. they take the most shots and i don't like players who take more than their share of shots. not the right way to play and awful hard to win that way. you may not agree but that's not the point here. i want to see ball played in a way that is proven to win titles and if i don't see it then i am going to comment.

i am not a fan of his game but that does not mean i can's see past the end of my nose and am in fact predisposed to not liking what i see from him. give me more credit than that! same goes for felton and smith. but the essential question here must be: do their games translate to championship caliber play? so i see no reason to be gaga right now. i refuse to get too caught up in the moment during the regular season. "too caught up" means projecting titles or finals appearances.

do you see a champion or a finalist yet?

that said, since i don't know him personally i can only go by the way he carries himself on the court and the way he deals with matters financial and otherwise off the court. and from what i see there isn't a whole lot to admire about the guy. doesn't mean i can't separate the person from the player. if he plays the game the right way i get excited and my hopes get raised.

obviously i separate the two sides of garnett and pierce-- but you see i am a fan of their games. maybe if they were knicks i would care about their character.

The fact that he didn't punch KG on the court, shows that he in fact kept his cool....somewhat. Obviously, has time went on, the more he thought about it the more it bothered him. He was disrespected..not just as player but as a MAN. KG implied that he fcuk3d his wife and everyone here is ok with that??? Everyone here is cool with another man saying that he ate your girl/wife out? really?

I just want to go on record that I was not cool with it. I approved of whae Melo did.

Real talk, you have very little character to speak of, so your views on the integrity of others is meaningless.

Pretty much Spot On...I would have a tad more respect for him had he when waiting by the bus at least made an attempt to throw a punch at Garnett not land it but at least show an attempt at getting physical.

Nope he had the Carhart and Scully on city slum style and dropped a N and F-Bombs.....Total Weak Sauce

I glad he didn't do anything truly stupid, even though he wanted to.

real talk you are baiting post after post after post. try to calm down!

You guys are *******s, you know Melo would be suspended for 15 games plus, you won't giving him any more respect.

I glad he didn't do anything truly stupid, even though he wanted to.

So now you're capping the actions projected out gm suspension well if that's the case this gets back to the original premise of not going to the locker room or bus because any amount of suspension hurts us and him.

I doubt he would have received any further suspension than what he received had he thrown a punch and get this maybe just maybe it gets Garnett suspended if he attempts to fire back. Isn't this what many fans are sour graping over at the moment Melo's suspended and Garnett isn't?

He could have thrown an elbow that knocked Garnett out on the court and been suspended for the season. I'm glad it's only 1 game, and glad he didn't anything that would kill the season, but I'm not an Ass.

Yes indeedy; you having a tad more respect for Melo. We both know that's really going to happen under any circumstances.
The only thing you'd have a tad more respect is the side of the bus he'd break his hand on when the roundhouse missed.

Everyone's tough behind a keyboard.

No one is being tough here, if I were being tough I'd say something like "I would've knocked his ass out!"

But this is the reality of the situation, there are only those two options,

Me personally I would have went hard and dropped buckets on his head, let my game speak for itself, fawk KG

It was a heat of the moment situation. I'm pretty sure Melo will learn from the suspension and keep it cool the rest of the season. I'm pretty sure Woodson had a 1 on 1 talk with him as well.
