Classic example of that here:
Player who won't be mentioned busy arguing with the refs, while his guy dunks unimpeded.
You have a reference file of MeloFails youtubes on hand?
Melo went 14-28 and 7-12 that game for 37 pts. Lead the league in scoring that year.
won 54 games and I think they started 14-4 that year? And you show the stinker loss on the road?
I thought Woodson did a good job that year and knicks played over their heads. I expected less and enjoyed the season.
Did you? or does Melo just ruin everything for you? I know, we only went in the second round of playoffs. Did you expect more?
Melo is what he is.
JR went 2-12 that game in a season he was sixth man of the year. Problem is the label "Man" was used liberally.
Just a reference file of fails when it matters the most:

A 6 7" guy getting his shot block by a 7 2" guy WOOOW thats amazing
that should have been a pocket pass to chandler but hey that's blind melo jefferson for you.
so you trust that he can make that pass directly in to chandler hands with out hibert and west making that difficult, and if chandlers misses the dunk, then you have everybody saying why didn't melo just go up strong. It's a catch 22 no matter how you look at it.
The bottom line is if Kidd or JR could have hit a fckng shot through out the game we wouldn't have been in that situation
Another way to look at that play is why didn't he jam it with 2 hands instead?
More potential to get a "superstar" foul call in that situation even with a clean block.
by the time he has left his feet it is too late... note the fending off with the left arm. the proper play would be to see a blue uniform wide open 5 feet away from the basket, bounce a pass to the open man. but see that's the problem with low iq ballplayers... they possess no guile.
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%
