Yeah, hold on to or embrace Melohate, it's much healthier for your posting well being on a Knicks fan board where 61% of us think we suck major donkey kong and can hope that getting swept is the way to get a good coach. Not to mention that Gallo love will add major inches to your sample size.

Plus not getting swept would not do as much for Melohate posts.

I will now hate the Bulls for losing to the Sixers as well as destroying Patrick Ewing's career.

I heard Gallo once picked his nose before a game. What a bum.

The Hawks are a disgrace- they fail to up their game every year in the playoffs.

I just watched the highlight of the Gasol screen on Gallinari last night. Tyson set a similar screen on LBJ (game 1 I believe) and it was a flagrant foul and he was going to be ejected until they reviewed it. It is hard not to think things are fixed in the NBA when the calls are so lopsided and determine outcomes of games in favor of the marquee teams.

The all-star game is a joke - only little kids care about it.
I'm still waiting for people to be able to point to something tangible that Melo helped us do rather than making silly comments obsessive comments about Denver. Did we make the trade to try to harm Denver or to try to help our team actually achieve meaningful, tangible success?

I'd like to see someone talk about not making silly obsessive comments about Denver without making a silly obsessive comment about Denver.
I'd like to see someone explain how making the playoffs two years running is worse than not making the playoffs for 10 years without making silly obsessive Melo hating comments.
I'd like to see someone show me the innate value of watching years of DLee and Nate and Wilson and Gallo and Duhon and ECurry either not play or not play D or not make the playoffs without mentioning the thrill of the lottery.
I'd like someone explain to me the value of 23 win seasons versus playing in the post seasons.

You lost me on your first sentence. But anyway, it's odd you consider making the playoffs to be a Melo achievement. The team has been sub .500 in games he's played in and finished above .500 because they had better records without him. I'm not saying the team is better off without him - it isn't. But I don't see how making the playoffs can be attributed to him. The team is about .470 in games he's played in.

Apparently only the games we win count on Melo's record. He gets hot and shoot 50% to end the season, so we just forget how awful he was the bulk of the year.

Mar 32.1 6.7-16.2 .415 0.9-3.3 .268 5.1-6.5 .782 6.3 3.0 0.5 1.3 3.0 2.3 19.4

One thing I see is that Melo still has tremendous upside. He'll be 28 next year and still in the PRIME of his career for the rest of his contract here. That means this team will have a very good chance to be highly competitive in the East. Melo must rededicate himself to his fitness and his skills. There is still a very bright future for him and this team if he takes his responsibilities seriously. If he has a career year next year there's no telling how successful this team could be.

In that nice table you failed to mentioned the timeline of when we got rid of a bonehead coach and replace IT with a coach who actually cared more about winning than about ego.

You can't just say the coach is 100% at fault. We had this "bonehead" coach at the start of the season when everyone thought this was a .750 team.

It's devils advocate Bonn.

Nixluva refuses to place any fault on MDA. Call it like it is man.

Denver playing inspired tonight

Denver is doing this with Gallo having another of his weak shooting nights and Moz who is starting with 0 points and 0 boards

Nene for McGee was a steal - this guy is gonna be really good - he is ripping it up tonight on 8-10 shooting - dunk after dunk - 19/12 boards

Karl is a great coach and I really respect him

Faried - another excellent game -

McGee is playing for a contract. Dude makes the dumbest plays ever too.

He is better than Deandre though and he got 10 million per.

43 points on 32 shots is pretty good. The rest of his team was 21 for 58. You seem obsessed with Melo-Kobe comparisons.
