Good Lord - not even a tip of the cap, eh?

PPG is unimportant. I give him credit for improving his scoring efficiency, though - that is something that merits praise.

Tell that to Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, David Robinson, Rick Barry, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Tiny Archibald, George Gervin, Bob McAdoo, Shaquille O'Neal

Good...now Melo can sit his azz down and take some bully ball drugs.

We need him healthy if we plan to win it all.....

The NBA championship will be the Eastern Conference finals Champ.....

??isn't Melo already doing what you suggest

Not if Durrant was playing....Melo would've put in 30 plus minutes today, just to get that scoring title....and limp into the playoffs.

Now is has more time to rest.

Exactly, people act like it wasn't 13 years + that we had won the Division Title... like the last scoring champ the knicks had wasn't 28 years ago... complete BS to just dismiss this years accomplishments for this team and Melo

this team hasn't won a title in 40 years why so much emphasis on scoring title?.. if some people are not impressed then so be it...

lol Knick Fans made Legler mad on Twitter...Today on Cowherd's show

The lack of being impressed has nothing to do with the Knicks recent string of unsuccessful seasons....but has everything to do with personal likes and dislikes, I.E. those who are Sh*ting on Melo's accomplishments do not like him (period). You guys were clear with your dislikes of Melo in the past, why sugar-coat it now?

if that's the case, why did he sit out the last game knowing Durant was playing? Your theory either doesn't work or, I'm missing something.

To what extent did he do this, this yr?

the last 6-10 games or so, he's been around 50% or something. His efficiency of late has been pretty unreal in April.

Because he essentially would have had to put together back-to-back 50pt gms.

I still don't get it. IF Durant would need like two 50pt games, then Why would you say what you did above? I put the part in question in Bold.
