Great team effort.

Yeah

+1 agreed.

No matter how things get better, their is a contingent of idiots who will look for anything but Melo as a necessary cause for happiness. Am I incredibly happy about Zingis?, you betcha. But I've read on this board for years about how if Melo ever improved at facilitating, they'd turn in their Hater card. Well well well, guess who's second (just barely) on the entire team in assists? Per 100 possessions, who's the third best facilitator on this team?

'Bout time. Only took him 5 seasons.

Yes, tell us more about all those tremendous assets that we traded away for this fat, selfish YouTubeMelo (hey, remember that thread?) who could have been doing all this great facilitating 4 years ago if he hadn't FORCED HIS DOUCHEBAG SELF ON THIS GREAT FRANCHISE!

Because everyone can plainly see, 5 years later, that Moz >= Zingis, Gallo > Anyone on the squad now, Wilson > Affalo. Why, we'd have several chips by now, just like...Denver...or Utah...has.. with that draft pick that we were raped out of...

Hey, you said it. I was just stating facts.

It's great that he's finally facilitating in year 5 in a Knicks uni. I applaud him for that.

What he do that season? Was that the Linsanity year, when Melo called the contract "ridiculous" and they got swept under the rug by the Miami Heat in the 1st round?

He had a higher assist total than he did this year.

If you have data suggesting his passed significantly less in general despite the higher assist, share it. Otherwise you run the risk of well, you know...

Great, and next you can tell us how much money he's making per assist that he's finally doling out. Give your fair balanced commentary a break for awhile, please.
I think you're even starting to make dkf7th uncomfortable.

How were we doing in the playoffs before your personal pariah arrived? I forget.

About the same. Marbury made it to the 1st round of the playoffs too.

Yeah all those multiple times, too right? And who could forget Gallonari leading us to the second round as well (Cue your Hibbert block pic post), ah the beauty of selective memory.

Maybe you can also regale us with stories of how we were actually better off with Marbles...

The only relative response (other than to remark on its desperation) is we'll have to wait until a first round PS match-up next spring.

What happened is as opposed to simply crediting Melo for what YOU observed as a willingness to facilitate, you choose to make it a backhanded compliment. What you didn't anticipate was his willingness to facilitate is no different than it's ever really been as a Knicks, and statistically speaking was even better during the 5 years period you incorrectly cited.

Meaning you unwittingly acknowledged you've been perfectly fine with his facilitation as you are now all along, you just convinced yourself otherwise, because, you know.

And no attempt at clever retort or insulting me will change that, although you'll certainly try.

3.3 now.

YOU stated he's now showing a level of facilitating worthy of both compliment and favorable comparison to the past.

So the question to you is were mistaken, or does .2 assists per game swing the equation into Melo's favor?

It's not much, but what else straws can we grasp at. We're stuck with him as you always state continuously.

Nothing we can do, but hope he continues to pass.

Indeed.

I can hardly wait for the next new straw.

Scoring and Shooting efficiently maybe? Take only 10-12 shots a game and make them count?

There is NO argument you can make to suggest Melo taking less shots would leads to more efficiency.

Raw FG % is no his strength. Does anyone argue otherwise.

What he is is the Knicks center of gravity, which will aid Porzingis. Making him LESS than that seems to be inviting more defensive pressure on KP.

I think that's the next "straw" for Melo, since he's already dishing more than all of us are used to.

So you didn't get that was just disproven?

less shots no. FEWER contested shots yes (especially when he misses wide open teammates and/or is double/triple/quad teamed.
