sitting or OUT even though he tremendously picked up his game finally over 1 wk worth ot games
Amare dont get excited to play vs NETs and BUCKs type teams is reason he is inconsistent
and often schooled Or out of it!
We'll welcome his return but STOUT out yesterday was a good thing for a change
It was Melo part 2 shrugging off slump shooting, as he lit up Celtics last season playoffs
when Amare or Lin wasnt even in the mix
Tonite proves
We do need our full team but a star/superstar in Melo is still best player on floor Most nites in NBA
not all nights but often

If Melo played like this for the beginning then I don't think you would have heard people ranting and raving about his play. Well, maybe not as much 
NYK B
Full agree 100%
Melo is in worst play, shooting & scoring slump of his 7 yr career,
a career 27ppg guy
He need to pick it up consistently but in his defense partially He isn't making excuses for his bad play
nor using injuries /groin/hand and leg issues as a cop-out for poor poor season
His groin tweaked a bit last nite and unless it gets worse you know he gotta go & suit up
but perhaps normally wouldnt if NYK roster was not so banged-up.
The Mr Guts in MELO will have to surface
don't know if many had the groin issues but that is painful as hell for any athelete
