Can someone explain to the fans why he is playing 43 minutes game? Also this style of play is terrible--it worked with MJ and Kobe--its not working here--its terrible. I can see using a triangle set a few times but you cant run a whole game like that. I want to see a sign that Phil actually works for the Knicks.

Phil hates Carmelo. He's trying to destroy that knee for good.

This board has too many Holiday inn doctors. smh

Melo has yet to be diagnosed with any tearing in his knee

The worse diagnosis has been balky and aching

Until stated otherwise, chalk this up as old age and mileage

For his style of play and sport he plays

For the record Beverley missed 2 straight weeks,

Minutes were chopped in half last 2gms of playoffs

And supposedly got the spinning blood treatment on his knee in the off-season

So you're saying posters are Holiday Inn doctors

Yet the player is complaining of major knee discomfort and the

Team Professionals have yet to diagnose the seriousness of his injury

We've been through this before with Melo and the Torn Labrum

One who was chasing the scoring title simultaneously

Either someone is embellishing or someone is embellishing

Make no mistake about it, if we were 27-5 we would not hear 1 peep

About his injury seems to only come up when he's shooting bad

Or the team's record is bad

The ones who had to seek professional help on Amar'e knees

When Phx doctors already told the entire universe his knees were effed up

I believe Melo hurts, he has tons of wear and tear on his body

Needs to suck it up or do the intelligent thing

And get on a maintenance program

But no way will I believe he's seriously injured

Asked Fish if there's a point where it makes more sense to shut Melo down. "Weve expressed our opinions to Carmelo" but ultimately up to him

Dywer shared this tweet from Herring today in his story. I am a bit cautious with Herring's interpretation of information after he misinformed the masses on Melo's contract and money upfront. Still at face value it sounds like Melo is being allowed to determine when he plays.

So Amar'e is listening as is J.R.

But Melo calls his own shots

The more things change, the more they stay the same

Oh and doesn't J.R. have a slight tear in his plantar fascia

Who hasn't played in over 2weeks, because when you're injured

It generally shows up in games missed or minutes reduced
