He couldn't see from the bench how well the ball was moving with him on the bench.

that is not true.. guys like prigs, felton, THJ , chandler all play hard.. they are limited, but they play hard... the knicks were up tonight. melo comes in, they lose the lead.. can't blame everything on the other players, that is deflecting from the real problems..

I agree. Melo plays hard and most of the rest of the team hardly scores. Last night, Melo had 7 assists along with his 28 points (10 for 23 (43%) and 6 for 8 from 3 pt (75%) JR Smith shot 5 for 16 (31%) and only 1 for 4 (25%) from the free throw line. I wonder who should get the blame for this loss.

We need to get one or two MVP candidates to play with Melo.

and basically rest are vet min players?

Listen, we won 54 games last season because of the veteran leadership we had last year
Leadership created confidence, direction, TEAM play, and continuity/chemistry
We loss in the play offs because we simply didn't have enough talent on the floor, with a hell lot of ISO
Was Woodson spoiled with this "veteran leadership"?

This year, we don't have the the leadership and it is shows
I wouldn't say we are far apart from talent from last year although Felton, JR, and even Pablo have been far from their play of last season
Copeland is also far from AB, not better, just different. Copeland shoots at a highly effective % and could make wide open 3pt shots with consistency, I think he is a bit smarter.

I have never thought Woodson was a good coach and it is showing now
He isn't the only part of the problem but SOMEONE needs to be the scapegoat at this point, and the players don't seem to like his philosophies
When Iman tried to double Melo's man yesterday and left his own man for no reason, he got bitched out
When Melo decides not to go over HALF A SCREEN and Iman stays with his man, he got subbed out and Darrel Walker went OFF on him (So how is this NOT Woodson's "philosophy"

They will get players who will like Melo, support Melo, and feed Melo.

They will continue to empower and enable Melo.

He is bigger than life. Wins and losses are annoying details!
