He already won!!

Dwight and Melo are actually very much alike.

Both put up impressive stats - both play to beat of their own drum - screw any team concept neither players game changes one inch/ounce regardless of the system/coach.

Both Dwight/Melo couldn't lead a ant colony to a picnic feast.

Other players tend to think it will be great to play with them -- then once they have the chance they wonder "what the hell was I thinking".

That's ridiculous. Dwight is the epitome of "Hooray for me, phck everyone else" narcissism. Melo is inconsistent at times, but he cares about winning and about teamwork. Iso-Melo still comes out, but not nearly as often as in the past.

I know money was a big factor, but for a guy who chose to ride it out with the Knicks instead of chasing a ring Melo doesn't get much respect around here.

Agree. He should have said FU to the hater fans and taken the easy way out. Just like that coward KD. The league needs more guys like Melo who actually want a Championship to mean something. And oh yeah Fuck Milsap. Staying on topic.

Actually, most of the haters were hoping Melo would take the easy, join-some-superfriends way out. So it wouldn't have been an FU moment, it would have been Christmas/Birthday/Carnival day all in one. Too bad that "Coming Home" bull**** turned out not to be..bull****. And further bolstered by a NTC.

Nice job by Milsap and his elite Hawks against the Pelicans, btw.

Millsap slams Hawks for losing 'to one of the worst defenses in the league'

http://www.thescore.com/nba/news/1160933-millsap-slams-hawks-for-losing-to-one-of-the-worst-defenses-in-the-leagueIF this isn't motivation enough.

First of all, the Hawks are not all of that, and for this guy to disrespect us and act as if we are dead last in the nba, or conference or even the division is enough to circle the date for the rematch.

Yeah I get it, our defense is suspect, but to give the team no credit, I hope that quote is in bold print on everyones lockers

To be fair to Paul -- he probably just assumed that this was one of the games Melo would be mailing it in again but he was wrong.

Melo typically shows up in front of the home crowd because he would never want to be fully boo'd by the entire garden crowd -- he typically chooses the road for when he isn't going to go 100% or when he is going to go full ISO mode.

Great point Troll. Our best player shuts up a top team and you chime in with this? Go follow the Brooklyn Nets. Sounds like you would be happier. Btw. Did Howard lead his team in points, dimes and boards last year. Given the selfish play.

good call. So lame when you are still bringing this crap to the table. Find whatever rock DK7 is hiding under and have a pow-wow with him and TFK

Papabear Says

Wow I can remember the wars I had with DK7 and TFK haters from back in the day. What ever happened to TFK?

tkf, that bastion of integrity of consistent, blind, Mardy-Collins-loving, energizing MeloHate, stated that if Melo re-signed here, he was leaving. And to his credit, he did exactly that and left the board. Although there have been a few instances since then where he seems to have made some brief cameo appearances under some other login names.

He was posting at the Knicksonline forum for awhile after he left here. I don't know if he still posts there.

There are other Knick boards to post on? Really? Do martin and Andrew know about this?

This is was why I was stun by milsap words, I was like dude, we're stacked up better than your bs team any day of the week

fitzfarm wrote:He's just used to us sucking the hawks are off to a quick start but in actuality they are a borderline lottery team. lets look at the match ups in the starting 5

d rose vs Dennis shroder: rose 10 times better
Lee vs korver : lee overmatches korver and is the better overall player
melo vs KB : this one is easy Melo all day everyday
KP vs millsap : millsap is good but nothing close to KP and KP dominated millsap even over powering him
noah vs howard: depends on who comes out to play Noah has better work ethic but howard is a beast

I'd have to say we are a better talent then they are at every position as they have over played early on we have under played.... but now that we are jelling watch out we are a top 3 team talent wise in the east. its only a matter of building chemistry and a team bond and we are going to be a top team in the nba.. kp is turning into a super star and we already have two others in rose and melo.

Like I said borderline lottery team, hawks were way over performing. Now they are back down to earth, I don't think they make the playoffs.

Right, I heard a few analysis gushing over the rebirth of Howard the other day..lol..he had 4 points on 2 for 9 shooting(ya'll know he shoots lay ups only right), and 7 rebounds.

Funny thing is I watched the game and Howard hit a nice midrange bank shot. LOL. He was punked by Rudy Gobert.

Nice formatting, it makes your post seem more cryptic

Looks like Milsaps words, or this thread has truly cursed the Hawks- Milsap even has a hip injury and has missed 2 or 3 games

After losing Teague and Harford, did he really think they were going to just pick up where they left..i hope we kick there ass the next time around
