A good healthy debate with opened minded people is one thing but, many of those responding to you aren't open minded and can only see their point of view. Either that or they don't respect a differing point of view. Going back and forth with folks like that will only stress you out.


great point.. I will follow your advice.. thanks.. seriously!!

HONESTLY, who is arguing anything now guns.. look at the thread.. they all bait..

do you see myself, or dk, or fish, or 3g starting threads after knick losses? do you see us starting threads when felton struggles saying we wish we had lin? do we start threads about gallo? chandler?

NO.. usually our names or mentioned, attacked and baited into silly discussions.. it happens over and over and over again. only when we come to rightfully defend our names do we get called, trolls, baiters, and haters...

even in the melo MVP thread, each one of us have stated why we feel he won't win MVP.. have any of our reasons been ridiculous? over the top? unreasonable? NO.... actually most of the time, I am asking NY fans to reason, but most of them are intoxicated with the knicks playing well that they lose all perspective.. it is fine to enjoy the winning but it should not kill your ability to reason..

guns: I asked a simple question.. if lebron and durant were on the knicks, would knick fans honestly feel carmelo has a chance at MVP,at this point?

I asked a poster this.. he never responded..

You are right. I don't have an answer for the baiting


another example, I have watched this forum turn on chandler at times, even felton. I saw someone post amare as being lazy... had any of these thing been said about carmelo, it would be WWIII....

why is it ok, to smash amare, or any of the other players? I thought we were knick fans.. it seems the need for this fan base to have have a hero has surpassed everything.. even logic at times....

I enjoyed the jason kidd thread.. but look how little activity it gets? do we even talk about this teams flaws anymore? how to improve them? or do we just go 17-5 all is well and if you say otherwise you are a carmelo hater?

there is room for other discussion and we don't have to have carmelo shoved down our throats... there are so many things going on with the knicks.... we don't have to trash dantoni, lin, gallo, etc...they have no impact now on the knicks.. and even when guys like us enjoy watching them do well, that doesn't mean we want the knicks to fail..

I know what you mean I was killed in the bobcats game thread for suggesting that someone other than Melo take a last second shot to mix it up and not be so iso predictable

While I agree that there has been to much baiting. I'm not buying the whole innocent act though. When the Knicks lost back to back games. We heard quotes like "oh well this is the team Melo wanted he is going to have to live with it". "Mike Wooodson is a hypocrite". When we won vs Miami without Melo it was "see I told you Melo is a 0 sum player".

The only thing holding a lot of you guys back from doing the same things you are accusing others is the Knicks record. Last season it was Melo who ruined Linsanity, it was Melo who made MDA quit, it was Melo who brought the whole team down. And there was a thread on it every day.

"Denver plays perfect team ball and is on pace for 60wins while Knicks are mediocre". "Shouldn't Denver get worse after losing there star player". Denver is now mediocre after all the talent we gave up and Knicks are on pace to 60wins. They have never been this mediocre with Carmelo Anthony on there roster.

historically the stats have shown that melo is much closer to a zero-sum player and his playoff record underscores this. fool's gold players will get exposed.

this year he has elevated his game but needs to make supreme effort defensively and maintain a TS% above 58. he does that the knicks will be more successful in the playoffs.

denver may have made a mistake in trading for iguodala but it is still early. but yes they are mediocre right now. also lawson needs to improve his orchestrating.

knicks are defending their home court like you would expect, beating teams they should beat.

the prize is a strong ECF performance and every game should be seen through this lens!

knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%

Kobe: Melo won't need to adjust to Lin
By Christopher Hunt

NEW YORK -- As the legend of Jeremy Lin grows, the looming questions about Carmelo Anthony's return are also gaining momentum.

What's going to happen when Anthony returns to the lineup? Will he bring the Knicks' new and exciting ball movement to a screeching halt, or will Mike D'Antoni have to adjust is system to adapt to one of the league's best scorers?


Nathaniel S. Butler/NBAE via Getty ImagesWorried about the Knicks' offense when Melo returns? Kobe says it's much ado about nothing.


"I think Melo having the ball in his hands in this town is overrated," said Lakers star Kobe Bryant, a teammate of Anthony's on Team USA. "I mean, I've played with him. The ball is in his hands and then it's gone."

The bulk of Anthony's scoring this season has come off isolation plays, which, at times, made the Knicks' offense stagnant. Players have admitted to being lulled into watching Anthony instead of keeping the offense moving. The fear is that the increased tempo New York has seen with Lin at the point will be slowed by Anthony's need to pound the ball into the post.

Bryant did not accept the idea that Anthony might need to make a big adjustment when he returns to the lineup from a strained right groin injury.

"He's not a player that's going to dribble the ball a whole bunch, so I think that is a little overrated," said Bryant, who also thrives in isolation plays. "They need to get the ball to Melo in the post and in the mid-post because that's where he operates, and its frees him up to do what he does best.

"He's not going to be a facilitator, so people need to stop expecting that from him. That can be Jeremy Lin's job. Melo can put the ball in the basket and let [Lin] do what he does best."

Lakers' Kobe Bryant defends NY Knicks' Carmelo Anthony, says critics were wrong to criticize him for not fitting in with Jeremy Lin last season
The Lakers superstar is not surprised by Anthony’s MVP-caliber start to the season, especially after he offered a pep talk to his teammate while they were together last summer at the 2012 Olympics.


BY PETER BOTTE AND PAT LEONARD / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

PUBLISHED: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14, 2012, 2:55 AM


KATHY WILLENS/AP
Kobe Bryant, here guarded by Jason Kidd (l.), says critics were wrong for lashing out at Carmelo Anthony last season.
Kobe Bryant doesn’t appreciate how critics were calling Carmelo Anthony the Knicks’ problem during Linsanity last season, and now they are treating him like a savior.

“I think last year was very tough for him because he was criticized a lot for shooting and for playing the way he likes to play,” Bryant said after scoring a game-high 31 points. “Then the whole Linsanity thing and everybody said, ‘Well, they’re better without Melo’ and all this nonsense. You guys are all guilty of it. . . . And as a result, he got a little gun-shy and a little self-conscious about things.”

Notice,Kobe aint talking stats or TS%. Kobe is talking like a very knowledgeable bball player.Ill take Kobes opinion over a bucket full of meaningless stats and unwarrented hate. There are many agendas being shown here but the only agenda that counts is wins and losses. And right now we are the team to beat. Finally, the Knicks are the talk of all the web sites and sports tv and radio. Why cant some just enjoy this national attention and soak in the glory?.Remember all the negative talk about this franchise over the past 10-15yrs about how we sucked and how we were a dysfunctional org. Its all changed, so myself, keep the stats and WINNING IS THE ONLY THING.

Sir, I'd caution you against the "fool's gold" argument. This has led you astray in the past.

The Heat were "fool's gold" to you once.

"I just asked him, ‘What the hell are you doing? To hell with them.’ You have to do what you do best and I think the organization put pieces around him that allow him to do that and now you guys all celebrate him for doing what he’s always done. It’s funny. God bless you guys."

The only thing holding a lot of you guys back from doing the same things you are accusing others is the Knicks record. Last season it was Melo who ruined Linsanity, it was Melo who made MDA quit, it was Melo who brought the whole team down. And there was a thread on it every day.

"Denver plays perfect team ball and is on pace for 60wins while Knicks are mediocre". "Shouldn't Denver get worse after losing there star player". Denver is now mediocre after all the talent we gave up and Knicks are on pace to 60wins. They have never been this mediocre with Carmelo Anthony on there roster.

Excellent post, nyny.

And you'll notice the response to your points is strenously straining at gnats at best.

But as has already been stated, this could go on forever.

Now back to our Heat/Laker beating lives, fellas. Nothing to see here.

Thats where arguments go down hill when you are arguing the past vs the present. Right now the present is pretty damn good if you are a Knicks fan. Just saying Melo won't win MVP and presenting facts doesn't make you a hater. Agendas is what gets people in trouble

HONESTLY, who is arguing anything now guns.. look at the thread.. they all bait..

do you see myself, or dk, or fish, or 3g starting threads after knick losses? do you see us starting threads when felton struggles saying we wish we had lin? do we start threads about gallo? chandler?

NO.. usually our names or mentioned, attacked and baited into silly discussions.. it happens over and over and over again. only when we come to rightfully defend our names do we get called, trolls, baiters, and haters...

even in the melo MVP thread, each one of us have stated why we feel he won't win MVP.. have any of our reasons been ridiculous? over the top? unreasonable? NO.... actually most of the time, I am asking NY fans to reason, but most of them are intoxicated with the knicks playing well that they lose all perspective.. it is fine to enjoy the winning but it should not kill your ability to reason..

guns: I asked a simple question.. if lebron and durant were on the knicks, would knick fans honestly feel carmelo has a chance at MVP,at this point?

I asked a poster this.. he never responded..

You are right. I don't have an answer for the baiting


another example, I have watched this forum turn on chandler at times, even felton. I saw someone post amare as being lazy... had any of these thing been said about carmelo, it would be WWIII....

why is it ok, to smash amare, or any of the other players? I thought we were knick fans.. it seems the need for this fan base to have have a hero has surpassed everything.. even logic at times....

I enjoyed the jason kidd thread.. but look how little activity it gets? do we even talk about this teams flaws anymore? how to improve them? or do we just go 17-5 all is well and if you say otherwise you are a carmelo hater?

there is room for other discussion and we don't have to have carmelo shoved down our throats... there are so many things going on with the knicks.... we don't have to trash dantoni, lin, gallo, etc...they have no impact now on the knicks.. and even when guys like us enjoy watching them do well, that doesn't mean we want the knicks to fail..

I know what you mean I was killed in the bobcats game thread for suggesting that someone other than Melo take a last second shot to mix it up and not be so iso predictable

While I agree that there has been to much baiting. I'm not buying the whole innocent act though. When the Knicks lost back to back games. We heard quotes like "oh well this is the team Melo wanted he is going to have to live with it". "Mike Wooodson is a hypocrite". When we won vs Miami without Melo it was "see I told you Melo is a 0 sum player".

The only thing holding a lot of you guys back from doing the same things you are accusing others is the Knicks record. Last season it was Melo who ruined Linsanity, it was Melo who made MDA quit, it was Melo who brought the whole team down. And there was a thread on it every day.

"Denver plays perfect team ball and is on pace for 60wins while Knicks are mediocre". "Shouldn't Denver get worse after losing there star player". Denver is now mediocre after all the talent we gave up and Knicks are on pace to 60wins. They have never been this mediocre with Carmelo Anthony on there roster.

historically the stats have shown that melo is much closer to a zero-sum player and his playoff record underscores this. fool's gold players will get exposed.

this year he has elevated his game but needs to make supreme effort defensively and maintain a TS% above 58. he does that the knicks will be more successful in the playoffs.

denver may have made a mistake in trading for iguodala but it is still early. but yes they are mediocre right now. also lawson needs to improve his orchestrating.

knicks are defending their home court like you would expect, beating teams they should beat.

the prize is a strong ECF performance and every game should be seen through this lens!

If was placed on Denver's roster. In your opinion what would there record be right now?

Why cant some just enjoy this national attention and soak in the glory?.Remember all the negative talk about this franchise over the past 10-15yrs about how we sucked and how we were a dysfunctional org. Its all changed, so myself, keep the stats and WINNING IS THE ONLY THING.

you could stand a refresher course in psychology. bryant is a vain douche who is projecting his own limitations as a player onto carmelo who shares the exact same limitations. of course bryant would sympathize with what amounts to an extension of himself. both these dudes lack utterly the ability for self-reflection and introspection. in speaking about carmelo's problems he is speaking about himself.

knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%

Bryant has won five championships. Are you suggesting that he thinks his game is flawed and would support another guy that he thinks is flawed in the same way? I don't see these two as that similar but I think at this point Melo is much harder to handle on the offensive end. Last night they were saying he was better than Durant. However, if flawed Melo can lead his team to anywhere close to five championships I am down with the psychology and projections. I take any guys flaws that gets five rings for the Knicks.

Sir, I'd caution you against the "fool's gold" argument. This has led you astray in the past.

The Heat were "fool's gold" to you once.

i maintained that the heat were not going to win their first year together because wade and lebron were redundant and would not be able to play with each other in the half court. they succeeded by their defense leading to turnovers until they met a superior team in the mavs, who kept the ball moving and took care of the ball. great coaching by carlisle and an mvp performance by dirk. be honest the heat offense that first year was stinko. flummoxed by the zone of all things but that's what happens when you lack steady jumpshooting.

last year they figured it some of it out to their credit, allowing lebron to control more of the action-- wade subsumed his ego beautifully.

this season they are keeping track of hockey assists as a component of their approach.

the key for melo is to make a supreme effort on the defensive end, demanding the most difficult assignment, whether he is scoring or not.

I disagree. He can always score. He is the best scorer in the nba and the team struggles to score when he isn't on the court. He has upped his d, effort and focus and is communicating with his teammates. If he is the best matchup for the other teams best player put him on that guy but don't put the most dynamic offensive player in the nba in a position where he is going to be compromised by fouls just because.
