so would you take his 27/11/ and only one assist on 35% shooting in game 1 which we lost.. 28 shots ? wow

how about his 21/5/ and yet again ONE assist stinker shooting 37% in another loss.. game 3.. knicks scored 71 points.. I thought having a superstar and scoring champion was supposed to avoid the knicks from having games like this?

or how about the pivotal game 4. knicks in danger falling down 3-1.. carmelo shows up with 24/9/ and yes, yet again ONE assist.. rofl... and oh. he shot 39%

so you can post that 43% because he had one or two games that help bring that horrible average up, but in the games his team needed him to be a star.. he wasn't.. he isn't.. plain and simple..

so I ask you.. is this what you really want?

that was my point holfresh!! that 43% was puffed up by two games.. game 6 too late.. you are down already 3-1.. that is my point.. why don't you get it.. those stats are empty and they didn't even win game 6... look at the assit numbers.. PG had more assist in one game than carmelo did the whole series..

you are proving my point exactly.... you fell right in....

holfresh, I applaud your patience and tenacity in dealing with the hate.

tkf, in your glass is bone dry Knicks existence, other than Melo being traded immediately to Denver for say, Nate Robinson and a second round draft pick (since we all know Denver's too smart to trade 1st rounders) what do you really want?

let me help you put down the pom poms... He proved my point... game 5 was trash.. dude had no assists and took 28 shots to get 28 points.. that was trash!!!

Game 6.. another trash empty stat game.. that series was done!!! game 4 was pivotal.. why do you think I posted certain games..

to post "he scored 28ppg on 43% shooting, I'll take that" is crap and misleading.. I am just exposing that mess right away..

you missing te point. Is Melo consistant enough to be a winner in the post season? Can you answer that simple question? I have never thought he is. Love to be wrong about that but its plays out the same way year after year... You can put blame on other players for sure.. JR Smith was certainly as big a reason Knicks failed as MElo, but JR doesnt make $20mm and isnt the face of the franchise.

Proof is in the #s. Just go over MElo's playoff game logs. He has monster games which his teams either win or lose, followed by those 10-30 games his teams always lose. How do you compete for a title like that? Doesnt help that the other scorers are also low % volume guys.

thank you.. that goes right over their head... this is what stars do..

In a similar situation in the 2012 playoffs.. the heat are down to the pacers 2-1 going into game 4. if they lose they are down 3-1.. that is not a good place to be.. what do real stars do?

Lebron James:

40 points /18 rebounds(6 offensive) / 9 assists/2steals and 2 blocks! oh and he shot 52%

WADE:

30 points / 9 boards/ 6 dimes/ 2 blocks and a steal, and oh yea he shot 57%!!!

They won that crucial game 4, instead of going down 3-1, they tied the series 2-2 and went on to win the series 4-2... and yes they had home court advantage.. just like the knicks did..

Stars do what stars do!!

wannabe stars, fools gold players.. do this

24/9/ and yes, yet again ONE assist.. rofl... and oh. he shot 39%

Done.. and Done..

Your contention is that the reason that Melo doesn't go deep into the playoffs is because he isn't consistent??..Well explain to me why it seems like when every other star don't have another star next to them, they also don't go deep into the playoffs...Kobe didn't make the playoffs without Shaq or Gasol, Durant got bumped in the second round without Westbrook, KG didn't go far in the playoffs, DWill in the playoffs???...CP3 didnt go far in the playoffs..Wade didn't make the playoffs...I can go on and on..Dr.J didn't go far in the playoffs without Moses...Why did Bron go to Miami???...KG and Ray Allen to Boston???? Shaq to LA??..Why are these players making these moves????

I know facts aren't really relevant when venting against Melo but the rest of the Knicks shot 37/38% over the series???The Knicks were destroyed on the boards during that series..Melo led the team in rebounding against Indy..But we know that rest of the team couldn't be the problem..It's must be the guy shooting 43%...

again, you miss the POINT!!! stop focusing on who stars play with... the key is they play consistently well... if they don't advance, it is not on them... at that point you can look at other things.. lack of help, other team just being better.. etc..

the key here is carmelo is not consistent, he sucks up the joint and then throws in the token good game once the pressure is off and his team is dead man walking..

that was my point.. Answer this.. what stars do the pacers have?

Durant got bumped in the second round without Westbrook,

Once!!!!!!! you are going to hang your raggedy hat on that? but the key is they just got outplayed.. Durant had a hell of a series!! that is the point!!

.Kobe didn't make the playoffs without Shaq or Gasol,

really? really now? and gasol didn't make it out of the first round without kobe....so what is your point? not every player is going to have a shaq or gasol... that didn't stop dirk..

he had tyson chandler and jason kidd.. the same two players carmelo had.. what happened bro?

stop being a homer.

carmelo is a fools gold, one dimensional hack bro... that is it.. probably the most overrated player in knick history... he is a dinosaur, that old hold your hand out, give me the ball, jab step, jab step, dribble, drop your head, chuck crap is old.. tell him Glen Big dog robinson is waiting for him and wants his game back.. that old tired, crap he does is not conducive to winning. I dont't care if you cloned 4 lebrons and put him next to carmelo he would find a way to fck that up!!! get that donkey out of NY, the sooner the better!

Don't you get it? Only melo's bad games count- you have to ignore/ refuse to acknowledge any good games or achievements.

Yep! Ignore the good teams we beat! Thunder, Heat, Spurs (Twice) etc

By golly, you're right! Melo has never helped any team win ANY of the games he's played in- in fact if it wasn't for him the Nuggets would have won several championships, and the Knicks would certainly have won three by now.

You're right about that stars always coming through- I was over the moon when Ewing won us the first championship. I was really impressed when Tim Duncan and Tony Parker won the championship this year too. And Kevin Durant too! He must have like 5 or 6 rings by now. Melo's the only star player who's lost in the playoffs- he needs to learn from CP3 about post season success. Oh- wait a minute...
