Melo want to finish, want to shine, want to take it easy, to be cool.
Will he be a leader, will he sacrifice his game, will he make other players better, will he concentrate on team and on winning?
Debates are over. We'll see it soon. The moment of truth is coming starting November.

i agree this year is a big year for him especially since lebron has finally won his ring. I'd say he at least had to bring us to the ECF for this year to be considered a good one

So if the Knicks lose to a better seed and a team that has more talent like the Heat, in the semi's, would you still consider the season to be a failure?

if we meet the heat in the semi's and it goes 7 games or its a close series i wouldnt be mad but the goal is to win a championship

Winning a 'Chip is our goal and the goal of 29 other teams. Only 1 can win it which makes it extremely elusive and difficult.

Nah really haha. Listen you seem to think im bashing melo but actually i've been defedning him. However i do feel taht he does have a lot to prove since his playoff history is not good. I have said 1000 times that its not just melo but amare also need to have a good year as well as tyson and felton.

Papabear Says

Listen Melo can't win it by himself. He need 2 more stars playing with him. Right now he don't have another star almost equal to him and with out that he can't win it all. With what we have now we can't compete and beat the Heat in a 7 game series. We may win 2 games but thats it until we get a CP3. I like Chandlers defense but he is not a Bosh on offense. And who can be equal to D Wade?? The Knicks still have a lot of work to do lets face it.

STAT needs to get the ball more in this offense. He's been a more efficient scorer over his career and if given the ball regularly he can dominate. The only issue has been staying free of injury and the lack of good PG play. The back was a major issue, but he was able to come back from it and looked healthy. I don't count the hand thing as it was a freak accident.

If both players have a big year, this team is gonna go far. Now with a roster full of good PG's that may just happen. Both players can be more effective with PG's that are looking for them all the time.

Wow! I did not realize that Amare's assist -> TO ratio was that bad -OUCH!

When you earn 19mil a year, isn't EVERY year a BIG year?

Please tell this to Eddy Curry.

Melo hate has now broken loose from it's containment. It's now spreading to the rest of the team. Please head for the forum exits in an orderly fashion and head for the nearest link to the ultimateNyets site. Your patient cooperation is appreciated.

Our top 2 offensive players have slightly below average (Melo) and way below average (Amare) assist:turnover ratios. I'm not aware of any championship teams in the league's history where the same could be said. It was predictable and predicted that both would bring out the worst in each other.

They both are finishers. Both can take over the game offensively.
But are inconsistent performers. God weapons but need master coach to make proper use of them.
STAT get lucky to get one coach who used him properly. Melo was not so lucky.
Not sure if Woody is this master - his offensive coaching is atrocious.

Yea, all I can say is amare had a team with felton and a bunch of young guys and that team went 28-26.. In comes this loser malcontent and we lose a coach, amare's game and the best thing to happen to the knicks this decade.. jeremy lin...

this team has taken on the stinking, dirty, air of carmelo.... I am not sure how you are expecting both players to have a big year.. amare can't play with this dude.. at least with amare, we can look back as some sort of playoff success in his history.. with carmelo?

call me a hater? sure, I hate guys like carmelo... Loser mentality and the IQ if a JR smith.. I rather have those types of guys play elsewhere....

Lol at least we know where you stand, no flip flopping from your position.

tfk... what are you going to do? Root against the Knicks? Root for Knicks to win but Melo to fail? Just check out all together? What if the Knicks have a great run this year? Can you get behind Melo?
