Novak has sucked all season, Felton has been OK, and Tyson has yet to show up like he did last year or in the Macs championship run. We need a lot of people to step up huge tonight and we also need the coach to make some adjustments.

Does anyone know if Camby is still hurt or is he just sitting now?

Im getting a little tired of the "Who is helping melo and JR" stuff. They are suppose to be our big guns. And lets be honest Raymond felton and iman shumpert have arguably been our best players. Felton has killed the celtics all series and gave us a chance in game 4. iman shumpert looks like he did when he was a rookie and even better. Its time for melo and jr to step up

Well basketball is a team sport and Melo and JR can't do their thing unless others step up. When Felton drops 20+ I get concerned that's because the focus is on Melo - not just because Felton is playing well. Now if he was scoring 20 in the flow of things that's a different story but when he is getting it while the Knicks are struggling then I get concerned.

AMEN!!! Great post StarksEwing1. The thing is that the role players on the team have been playing hard and all we needed was a few made shots from our Big guns and this series is over!!! Hopefully that is what we get tonight.

Melo also needs to hit his free throws during crunch time.

Look I have never blamed Melo for everything. I have defended him quite a bit. Jr is the biggest reason why this happened. Getting suspended is stupid. Then he goes out gets loaded and comes back for Game 5 and does nothing probably because he was hungover. Melo hasnt played well and that isnt because of the guys around him. He is making a lot of poor decisions the past 2 games.

I agree but I still think it would be massive if other guys were playing consistent and he didn't have the pressure to make EVERYTHING happen. Yes some guys have played well but I think the team as a whole could be doing much better.

I also fail to understand how the Celtics are suddenly competing with us. I know a lot of it falls on JR but still - they have looked amazing the last 2 games. I guess I have to reming myself that they played Miami pretty tough last year didn't they? Did it go 7 games? They are no easy out.

We keep saying the Knicks are better than Boston but I think they are pretty evenly matched ever since Jeff Green has stepped up. This will be an Ali and Fraizer type fight.

Melo > KG ?
Melo > Pierce ?
