Denver post says Melo is playing tonight but might sit out rest of trip. Dont know if its true or Denver just trying to make Melo look bad and sell papers

I don't understand the thinking behind this,

if you're not playing rest of trip, you are injured, so how can you play tonight? you will be hobbled and risk further injury, what's the point?

Melo playing in Denver, then sitting out the rest of trip, is without merit or reason.

Stop the madness.

Exactly

If this is true then Melo truly is one selfish man.

If Melo plays tonight and can't be effective again, I'd rather he sat out the rest of the trip and got the knee drained.

denver was playing their 15th road game out of their first 21 games.

although melo jacked up way too many shots as usual he did hit a couple of big shots in the last 6 minutes. jr smith stunk it up with a jackfest as well. same with felton-- new jack city.

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%

He better make it worthwhile. If he shoots 4-15 and we lose by 30 again, this decision will seem ridiculous.

I know what you guys are thinking, "if Melo don't play and we lose we have a good reason and its cool", if he plays and we lose its gonna look bad, like maybe we won the battle (the trade) but are losing the war?

Melo has his own docters and im thinking he will check to make sure he can't further the injury with some reasonable %.

Also, he has been playing with it, including the all star game.

Just because Fans now are knowledgable about don't change a damn thing.

I don't care what he does really, I want the Win.

Miami is 30-3 at home.

Denver is 28-3 at home. second best.

They are due.

Note on Knuggs: They are elite at home. They built a team that can run and take advantage of their altitude advantage. Its not a slam on Melo, its just what it is. If they can get some of that on the road they can do damage.

That 4-5 seed in the west against Memphis or the Clips is a doozy! Memphis is relentless! That three spot might be a pretty sweet spot out west. Unless the Lakers clime to 6th!

The West is facinating!

Tonite, Love to see Melo hand 35 on 50% shooting and not need help off the court and my boy Gallo put up 28! Knicks win of course!!!!!

Don't forget JR "coming home" also!!!!!!

Won't be able to watch this one until late tomorrow- nothing annoys me more than when I spend all day avoiding the temptation to look at the score, only to watch the game and it be a loss. We're not in good shape and they're on a roll but we've seen some gritty wins this season so hopefully we'll step up and find a way to win.

Good luck everyone- hope its a good game

Selfish how

This is probably an emotional game for him, he did play there for 7 1/2 years, the fans wanna see him, it's a national televise game and it's a top west team. If you can give it a go then lets do it.

My predictions!Woody puts in the same ol none shooting guys and buy the end of the first quarter we are down by 10 by half time we are down by 20. If I was Melo it would be a good time to go get his knee drained and don't get embarressed by a blowout by the Nuggets. They are gonna jump all over us.

I just don't understand it. Out of all the years I've been on this forum and seen haters come and go. In all these years I've never seen a person that have so much hate for one player. It's not normal as a matter of for it borderlines sick. That meams for the next 7 years or more dk7th will be spewing his hate for Melo. Even when we win a title.

Agree. Melo is huge when he comes back to 'Cuse. When Coleman played for the Nets they scheduled an exhibition game there to bring him back and he didn't even play (he chose not to).Also, if I am a Nuggets fan in Denver this is one of the games I get tickets for to see Melo and this matchup.

I am with Nalod. If he can play and the doctors OK it, he should. I want the win. If he plays like did last game - well that was completely useless.
TKF on Melo ::....he is a punk, a jerk, a self absorbed out of shape, self aggrandizing, unprofessional, volume chucking coach killing playoff loser!!

I say Melo's got guts and wants to tough it out, even with a bad knee. Many players would just sit it out. Dare I say Jeremy Lin last year. Even though I like Lin, Melo is tougher.

all of those things wont help his knee get better if he is indeed hoping to use rest vs a more rapid draining of his knee. for all the talk of the loses (bad/blow outs/close/etc) being just 1 game, he should look at this one the same and rest. there is still time to ensure the 2 seed if he doesnt play tonight.

GO TEAM VENTURE!!!!!
