I believe Melo I think that he will make sacrifices and wants to win badly especially after his buddy Lebron won. However you cant blame people who feel taht Melo needs to prove it on the court first because he does. I like melo and feel that he will have his best year BUT he still has to prove it

I agree some people seem to complain too much but some people still make valid points. I respect you because you are loyal to your favorite player as everybody should be. I think Melo will have one of his best seasonsw this year just like lebron did last year

Just got done laying some pipe thank you.

Melo confirmed what has been complained about since he arrived.

He has been a bit egocentric.

And if he changes to have a more rounded game that translates to wins, so much the better!

I am very happy with this Knick team. I'm glad to see that the team's leader is speaking those words and I'll be happier when the games actually start so that all of these things can be put in motion! Great article.

Btw, this forum has been hi jacked by a certain type of poster these days. If I would have come to UK for the first time NOW instead of years ago I'm sure it would have ended up being just a drive by and keep it moving kind of thing.

The problem is that he doesn't realize - and it appears no one advising him does either - that he needs to stop the contested 20 foot jump shots. He may be willing to make sacrifices but he doesn't know what sacrifices he needs to make.

Holfresh, good post but you opened the flood gates for the usual anti-Melo-Jerk circle to commence...Its beyond funny how its the usual suspects that love Gallo/Hate Melo....What ever happened to objectivity?

Silly...I think u have had enough time to assess Melo's game to realize he is a rhythm shooter or player...No sure MDA understood that either so nothing personal...Melo shoots himself into rhythm...He is not a consistently hot shooter..He is extremely streaky...Not like JR who comes and goes...Melo needs shots and can shoot himself into most games, not all, most...He needs touches period..It would be great if he could stand in a corner and just knock down jumpers, but he just isn't that dude no matter how much we whine about it...To a lessor extent, LeBron is that way too..He too takes some crazy shots at times but when he starts knocking them down it's over...

Melo lovers have Karl and MDA as excuses. Is woodson next?

Maybe Melo realizes he looked in the mirror and tasted vasaline?

What he said is actually applicable to all the top scorers in the league except Durant who is ridiculously efficient. Also, Melo's overall fg%, fg% from mid-range and fg% in the paint is superior to the two players you constantly pine and whine over (Gallo and Lin). Go figure.

actually not, the top scorers in the league, guys like lebron, wade, are also very efficient.... so is dirk, so it is not applicable..


and here you go again, it is sad when all you can do is base your defense using gallo and lin.... so now you are setting melo standards by guys you obviously feel are inferior.. typical melo lovers mentality.. no wonder why these discussions go nowhere.. LOL....

actually I pine and whined over lebron...... so now what?

Probably not the best choice of words for Melo, but he definitely needs to alter his game a bit, and give a consistent effort in all areas.

I can agree with LeBron, Wade, Dirk and Durant. I will also state that people killed LeBron and Dirk, in the same manner you kill Melo, for YEARS AND YEARS.

I bring up Gallo and Lin to point out your hypocrisy. You kill Melo for things while ignoring all the flaws of Gallo and Lin. If you applied your harsh and warped criticism to all players equally then I would not need to point out your agenda driven hypocrisy.

melo earns 20 million plus a season
gallo earns 10 million a season
lin earns 5 million a season

you pay more you expect more. no hypocrisy. he isn't ignoring any flaws. we all know what gallo and lin's flaws are. gallo is slow-footed and has a hard time getting back on transition d. his shot has gone a bit flat since his rookie season. lin needs to work on keeping his head up, not committing to the air too early without a plan, needs to develop his left hand, and work on protecting the ball and drawing more fouls.

what are melo's flaws?

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%
