Can't wait for Melo to get the blame when Lin's production slows down...

+1


ironically Lin and the rest of the knicks were playing like it was the Pre-Lin era. why? because it was the Carmelo Anthony show last night. it's a precarious situation for Lin because he has to defer to Melo because he's the "Superstar" and it's "his team".

TRADE MELO. HE'S A LOSER.

Sure it is, Parker dropped 32 on him last night and a few nights back Rondo almost post 20s across the board..Melo help defense is horrible..

Parker dropped 32 on mostly Shump.

I thought it was all Melo fault

Don't you know, Melo should've switched onto Parker to prevent him from scoring 32

Parker getting 32 was one problem. Melo forcing ISO play and not delivering is Melo's fault.

I guess 50% shooting with 3 threes and 27 points total isn't efficient enough for all the haters out there. The last 3 losses are all on one guy, and no it's not Melo, it's the guy with the clipboard (Does he even run any plays?)

What's your point? Do you think Melo is playing well? I don't get why you and others are trying so hard to defend him. Why does it bother you so much if people focus on Melo? It's not like he's had a good season and the focus on him is delusional.

Good Point. I dont blma melo for every little thing but there are a few gys on here that defend melo all the time which is fine but they are very biased. I mean would it kill them to be even a little critical of melo when he has a bad game

The only plausible argument I could see from their side is that Melo deserves some criticism for a bad season but not as much as he's been getting. It's bizarre that they care so much about the appropriate magnitude of criticism, though. (The only alternative is that they think he's playing great and deserves no criticism.)

Parker never had much of a career until last nite.

Divas don't play defense. We have two of them.

One smiles.

One sequence Melo had Jorts on his right side and need only make a bounce pass. Instead the possession failed.

It was so clear. Usually you don't see it on TV like that.

Maybe Jorts bobbles the ball. Maybe he does not.

Melo is far from the sulking Marbury. Marbury is Baron Davis with the Mind of Tracey Morgan.

Speaking of Baron Davis.......Ah, Never mind.

BUt lets be clear, Davis eats Linns minutes and that might have something to do with it.

Linsanity was pretty clear. With Melo and Amare back it gets murky again. Lin has to fuel AmeloRe. As if the kid didn't have enough to adjust too!

lin is not suppose to be the superstar thats why melo and stat are getting paid that money and yet they dont put forth the effort. the heat are a perfect example because their big three are complete players

Those were good points when we bought in each of them. In fact you can say Chandler is an incomplete player because he lacks an offensive game 5 feet from the rim.

The three combined are as good as Lebron.

I haven't seen anyone say that everyone else gets a free pass. It's reasonable to expect much more from a player you gave up half your team and a long-term max contract to, though, than from a guy making $2 mil a year, right? You don't pick numbers out of a hat to determine player salaries. You structure salaries based on what you expect and need from the players.

you have to remember when people consider you stars and you make a lot of money you have to be able to take the blame as well. You xcant just say melo is great and the role players get most of the blame. I mean especially when other teams with less talent are getting it done

BUt lets be clear, Davis eats Linns minutes and that might have something to do with it.

Linsanity was pretty clear. With Melo and Amare back it gets murky again. Lin has to fuel AmeloRe. As if the kid didn't have enough to adjust too!


It's interesting to compare the coherent story we have now of the Marbury era as a failure vs. how it was when he was playing here. I'm not sure who was more of a disappointment in their 12 months as a Knick: Marbury or Melo. It probably is Melo though. I don't think Marbury did much sulking in the first 12 months. As the losing came and he got more frustrated, his attitude went downhill. There's definitely a risk of that happening with Melo. At least there's the Yankees!

now people know why donnie didn't want to do this. Like i said i dont blame melo he just doesnt fit this system. I mean we are successful when we run the court and are in transition and we are aable to do that when melo is out.

Sure it is, Parker dropped 32 on him last night and a few nights back Rondo almost post 20s across the board..Melo help defense is horrible..

Parker dropped 32 on mostly Shump.

I thought it was all Melo fault

Don't you know, Melo should've switched onto Parker to prevent him from scoring 32

Parker getting 32 was one problem. Melo forcing ISO play and not delivering is Melo's fault.

I guess 50% shooting with 3 threes and 27 points total isn't efficient enough for all the haters out there. The last 3 losses are all on one guy, and no it's not Melo, it's the guy with the clipboard (Does he even run any plays?)


What's your point? Do you think Melo is playing well? I don't get why you and others are trying so hard to defend him. Why does it bother you so much if people focus on Melo? It's not like he's had a good season and the focus on him is delusional.
Good Point. I dont blma melo for every little thing but there are a few gys on here that defend melo all the time which is fine but they are very biased. I mean would it kill them to be even a little critical of melo when he has a bad game

The only plausible argument I could see from their side is that Melo deserves some criticism for a bad season but not as much as he's been getting. It's bizarre that they care so much about the appropriate magnitude of criticism, though. (The only alternative is that they think he's playing great and deserves no criticism.)

Melo deserves blame, as does Amare, but how come everyone else gets a free pass?


I haven't seen anyone say that everyone else gets a free pass. It's reasonable to expect much more from a player you gave up half your team and a long-term max contract to, though, than from a guy making $2 mil a year, right? You don't pick numbers out of a hat to determine player salaries. You structure salaries based on what you expect and need from the players.

What about the lameduck that's collecting $6m?


I'm not sure who you're referring to. Hoopshype doesn't have any of our players listed at $6 mil/year.

So coaching has nothing to with Wins and Losses..hmmm


What? I just didn't know who you had in mind. A bad coach (if we assume for a moment that's an issue), doesn't hurt your franchise long-term. You just get a new coach. If you give up half your team and draft picks and give a long-term max contract to a player and he performs badly, it damages your franchise for many years.
Can't wait for Melo to get the blame when Lin's production slows down...
