Thats just wrong!

These fans can suck a nut. I'm embarrassed by them and for them.

Carmelo played like typical ballhog garbage again.

This game was a How Not to Play Basketball 101 Course.

then the fourth quarter hits and the team completely reverts to melo ball.

i don't think it's just melo demanding the ball, i think it's the other guys feeling comfortable dumping it off to him. they have to get out of that mindset.

of course, amar'e still seemed totally out of it and either doesn't know where to go on the floor to get his shots or is limited somehow. he has no explosion this season. guys can talk about the team being much better with the felton/gallo team... but it was really amar'e playing at an MVP-level, scoring 30+ in 9 straight games during the 13 game winning streak. around xmastime last season he seemed to break down a little from playing so many minutes and he's really been slipping ever since. the difference in the team could easily be amar'e going from being an mvp caliber player to antawn jamison-lite in less than a year.

melo's not playing well either. everyone tonight who said the team played better with melo on the bench will get their chance to see if they're right as he's sitting at least the next game.

This definitely went wrong

Well Done. Im all for Melo having the ball in his hands at the end of game but use your FUCKIN head!

"Why are their assist numbers down?"

"They pass the ball but their teammates aren't making shots! Not their fault! hurhur"

Carmelo played the same way in Denver with a better roster. The excuse making needs to end.

There is no way, under any circumstance, even if Bippity was on the court, that taking a shot while triple teamed is acceptable. No way whatsoever.

Same, I admit really dislike Melo but I do have to say that I respect what he did at the end of the game, that was serious balling there.
Clutch shot after clutch shot after clutch shot.

The guy is really gifted, sadly the more time goes, the more he looks like Marbury to me.

10 for 30 and didn't allow the other kids to touch the ball in either OT. Can't respect that.

Come on, I don't like Melo, but every single p;layer was running away from the ball, scared like chickens.

He didn't. You have to give credit for this. My boy Gallo didn't do anything in the 1st OT and waited the 2nd one to put the final nail on the coffin. In the meantime, Melo was scoring again and again.

Nobody wanted to touch the damn ball like it was the plague. Melo had the balls to, I respect that.

See that is one big difference with Gallo and Melo. Gallo saw that Bicycle Helmet was on fire in the 1st OT so he let the offense go through him. Once he saw that Buckets was getting tired...Gallo took over.

Hahahaha. That was an awesome shot.

Scoreboard dude, scoreboard.

Triple team photographic documentation - priceless.

for Melo’s post-game comments of "Maybe I need to not take so many shots. I don’t know." Think about this, all throughout Melo’s career, his coaches have never dared tell him that he shoots too damn much and doesn’t pass enough. But last night, at the Garden, when the crowd chanted “pass, pass, pass” whenever Melo touched the ball, I seriously believe that was the FIRST time in his career that he has ever heard such an order. It is clear that Wusstoni doesn’t have the balls to tell him, and I think it was WONDERFUL that Knick fans took it upon themselves to coach this team. I love it !! Collectively us fans know what’s wrong with this team and how we can fix it. I am not positive, but I bet Melo never heard chants in Denver like he heard last night !! To all the die hard Knick fans out there that will be attending Knick games in the future, I beg you to PLEASE continue to keep the chanting and the coaching going. It IS definitely working which is evident from Melo’s comments, and we all know Wusstoni won’t do it so KEEP IT UP KNICK FANS !!!!
