How about this, we can now call Melo Mr .125 for his Knicks playoff winning percentage? Despite the small sample size.

Eli used to get roasted and now is a 2 time SB MVP.

Won't go into A-Rod as he will never be fully embraced by the Yankee faithful.

Ewing made a lot of guarantees which hurts you if you dont follow through

Marbury was also our best player for a few years. Did you support him?

No.. Melo isnt Marbs, not even close but after a decade of losing the blind love is gone. Gotta earn it and let me say its not that hard.

Also Amare is the best player. In 3 weeks you will be reminded why his teams have playoff success and Melo's havent. People here have incredibly short memories.

Knicks:
2010 -- Lost in 1st round to Boston, 4-0; Melo: 26.0 PPG 10.3 RPG 4.8 APG Stat: 14.5 PPG 7.8 RPG 1.8 APG
2011 -- Lost in 1st round to Miami, 4-1; Melo: 27.8 PPG 8.2 RPG 2.2 APG Stat: 15.3 PPG 6.5 RPG 0.8 APG

Short memories indeed.

One new Knick positive from the Melohate: StatLove.

can't make many excuses for amare, he is one of my favorite players, but he needs to do better in the playoffs.. his resume suggest that he can and should.. but lets keep it real, last year, the injured hand hurt him, he was shooting over 50% from the field, but he didn't rebound and defend and that is not excuse..

also no excuse is how you try to slip one by us posting these stats.. dude, carmelo shot 37% and 41% from the field.. the guy was a chucking nut!!! there is nothing great about his playoff performances here in NY, just stop it man..... those are horrible shooting percentages...

Slip one by "us"? So are you still maintaining that Amare is the better player? If Amare shot 20% from the field but averaged 20 and 10, would he then be the suckhole douchebag you make Melo out to be?

What has no excuse is your seething hate for Melo. Seek counseling, really.

Mardy Collins...SMH

this is what all of your arguments( and I am being generous calling it that) have been reduced to... this tells me you really have no more points to make, It is ok, if you bow out now, I understand if this may be a bit to much for you...

Yes. Of course. Melo takes lots of shots. He's a pointless chucker. He's only gone to a Conf finals once. You win: he's a loser douchebag. Amare, who's been injured in both Knicks playoffs, is the better player, leader and all around good guy. Because he shoots a better percentage. Because that's what basketball is all about: shooting percentage. Forget points, rebounds, assists. That's why Artis Gilmore had all those rings.

And, like all of your "arguments", it's because you say so. Incredible, airtight argument.

RIP, mardy collins incident.

Jrod.... this is a bit too much for you.. if you want to talk playoffs, then I will tell you that both Houston and Sprewell have been better than carmelo in the playoffs as a knick... yet I am sure you will argue that carmelo is miles better... so now you are backed in a corner here I guess...

now if you want to argue who is a better player, I will tell you to look at amare's resume, I could argue that he is a better player as well.. either way, it doesn't look good for you here bro... just drop it.... I am on beast mode....

fishmike wrote:neither Knick (Amare or Melo) has performed to expectations in the playoffs for one reason or another.

Here's the difference:

Knicks need Amare to be the player he's been in the past to sustain a deep playoff run, because thats what Amare's game translates to.

Knicks need Melo to NOT be the player he's been in the past because first round exits are what Melo's game translates to.

FG% means something. Go look at Melo's reg season vs playoffs. This is not hate, its simple strategy. The only place your riding a featured scorer who gives you 40% in the playoffs your going to be lucky to win a game or two, much less a series.

You have some points in there somewhere.

Just make sure Amare does not attempt any dunks on the layup line during the playoffs, and put tons of Police tape around the glass fire extinguishers areas come May!

Maybe assign Baron Davis as Amare's personal injury protecter.

Yes, tkf beast mode. Another tremendous part of your argumentation skillset. That and the ability to tell me things to say that I wouldn't say, since any blind retard on this board would know that I'm the biggest Spreelover here.

Yep, backed me right into a corner with those tremendous straw man arguments you have with yourself.

Dropped.

whatever you don't like about the knicks this season please feel free to do something about it.

I like everything which is why I'm not one of the posters complaining about this team. My life is in perspective....its a damn sport for crying out loud and guys are getting their panties all in a bunch.

Be a fan and root for the guys that will be on the floor. If not, your just another hater and my man on Adult Swim says, pity the haters out there.

I PITY YOU
