So what do you do on Knicks fan board when we're at the top of our division and beating the Hate regularly?

YOU BUMP TRADE MELO THREADS, THAT'S WHAT YOU DO!

You create threads about Melo the liar, which is particularly useful after a game winning shot is hit.
The further this continues into our winning season, the more the baiting by the Somberfew is getting stale and old.

Wait for each and every loss to tell everyone what a pile of steaming, smoking sheehit this season actually is!

.642 ball? Nahhhhhh, it's all about the deficiencies of Mr. .470!

Early on, the homer faithful were told to calm down, to realistically wait and watch the games. That this pathetic house of cards would fall apart soon enough, and all us StarMoobies would be begging to go back to the cap space and yoot era. Or at least to start wandering slowly over to where things are plainly Black and white!

Guess what fellas? It's almost All Star time!

Woody's working the two slightly fragile star injections back in slowly. NO IT'S TOO SLOW!!! Woody's in cahoots with Evil Starphucque ISO DOLA-MELO! Melo will soon be driving Amare out of town, and force Iman to be his chauffeur! You read it here first! Forget Melo throwing passes to Stat! It's all posturing to build up Stat's trade value!

Our old team is breaking down in fits and starts! Look at how young the SIXERS ARE! IGNORE THE STANDINGS, YOU STARCRAZED MOOBYGROUPIES, INDIANA IS THE PLACE TO BE!!! Look at DENVER!!! James Harden!!! Now that's a 21st century, fashion conscious true star of the future! Look at his FG% and TS%!!! That's what basketball's all about!!!! .500 ball with real EFFICIENCY! With never ending dreams for NEXT YEAR!!! Follow those Rockets to the upper limits!

agree. Melo is the best ever, a beast and a true MVP. Best thing to happen here since Ewing. Move over Francis, McDyess, Marbs, Penny and the slew of other studs to take the reigns of franchise player since the big fella left.

If funny, around and before the trade I read a lot of Nuggets forums etc.

Fans were 50/50 on Melo. Half thought as many outspoken here do, that Melo saved a lotery franchise, gave their team a star and a player that would lead them to the playoffs year after year. The other half (and I assure you it was quite even after seeing the same pattern year after year) where quiet happy to pull the plug on Melo and get the best they could for him. Selfish player, doesnt defend, doesnt win the playoffs.

One more thing fish, I am on the Denver boards as well.. guess what you don't hear? Fans talking about missing carmelo... Honestly, I think most of them were happy to see him go, and are happy with what they have now, because they haven't lost a step..

The better question is, have they gained any steps? Talking up any .600 seasons soon are they, tkf? Title contention? On they're way to the WCF? Those low first round draft picks going to emerge as the next Kobe/Lebron/Durant/CP3?

I know, I know, at least they HAVE draft picks and flexibility and potenshull!

sure they have gained steps.. they are as good as we are now, they will probably be better than they were last year and they have room to get better.. they have picks, thanks to us, flexibility to get better as they see fit..... so YES, that is a HUGE step upwards..

right now we see threads of the knicks needing to make some moves.. LOL.. what moves? we have nothing to improve this team with... You have to factor all of these things when assessing a team...

hhhmmm

Their best players, Faried and Lawson have zero to do with us. INTERESTING ...

Who has to do with us?

Gallo
Wilson
Curry
AR (miss him dearly)
Da MOZ

So far, there is nobody that we gave them that is making them better. There have been no picks that we have given them that has made a difference as of yet.

FARIED and Lawson - nothing to do with us

LOL funny you say that fans voted gallo their best player... Not sure how anyone can talk denvers best players and not include gallo.. only here in knick land where they must knock down former players to validate current ones... i guess knick best players are amare, chandler and kidd.... right?

Gallo has been a gross disappointment. I have no interest in knocking down former players - I loved Lin and like Chandler. I liked Gallo but he has been extremely underwhelming.

Nobody in their right mind would consider Gallo better than Faried and Lawson at this point (unless there is an agenda or, that you are the one doing all the voting)

Gallo is still a good serviceable NBA player but a bit of a bust.

huge disappointment for who? You sound like the lin detractors who said Houston regrets getting him, when they publicly came out speaking on how happy they are with him... as I said, denver fans the majority voted him Team MVP so far..... he was in the "discussion" as team MVP actually leading the "discussion".... if he was a gross disappointment in your eyes, I am shocked.. didn't know you were following the nuggets..

if you want to talk Gross disappointment, look no further than the dude with the dunce cap on waiting outside the opposing teams bus....

Anji wrote:Can't talk loses today, so talk future loses???

No thanks Fish, not particularly in the mood for bait today.

I dont bait or comment on individual losses generally. Best teams lose 20 games a year, the best players have bad shooting nights. These things happen. The questions are about the makeup of the team and the goal. If the goal is to win a title do we have a style of play that wins in the playoffs? I dont see relying on low % volume shooters nightly as that winning style of play no... Do we have a level of defense that can win in the playoffs or lead to a title run? Again... NO. We may have in November and early December but its been a good month since we saw anything close to that.

So I would ask the minions... is it Melo's team or not? Is he in the MVP "discussion" or not? Cause if those are both YES then he should be held accountable for the drop in quality of play since the beginning of the season. If he's NOT and MVP candidate and this is NOT his team then fine.. lets look at whole roster.

Minions want to have their cake and eat it too! Which is it Anji? NYKMental? Is Melo the leader and face of the franchise or just another player on the Knicks.... do tell...

anyone? anyone? Bueller?

Frontrunning? Anyone? Frontrunning?

Homer Fable Minions have first place and eat it too! We have a starphucque who takes too many shots and scores like nobody's business. Unfortunately for the vocal somberites on here, that just doesn't cut it for them. Especially since they hated him from back in the day when they read bad reviews on Nuggetsfans.com. And the day the antichrist went after Monty Williams. Or Frank Williams. Or whoever it was.

I will be more than happy to take responsibility for my starphucque, be it first place in the division, or last place. Anyone who tries to tell you this is not Melo's team is still huffing Stat's jock from two and half years ago. Nobody on this team touches him. As Melo goes, so will the Knicks. Feel better in your positive negativity, fish?

While I'm glad you don't see how this team competes in the playoffs any further than getting destroyed by a 7th seed in the first round, after half a season, I like our chances. The new Stat's slowly and surely coming into his own. Shump is not being pushed to defend every pair of jets in the league within two weeks of coming back. Our coach may be buying into the kill them with threes MDA thought process, but he's certainly not utilizing the "run them into the ground until they be dead" MDA penchant.

He starts Cope. He starts James Who The Fuhhhuck Am I White. MDA going to start these fellas? Really? I have no idea if there even is a Woody doghouse, let alone who's in it. Everybody plays. Everybody better dayum well step up. Not much drama when there's more than enough blood clots all over the practice facility.

Yes, MeloVP is in the scussion. Newsflash: You didn't hear it here first.

Bonus for the somberania: if we do crash and burn, you'll have more fun than the time the butler ran the squirrel over in your driveway. Try to stop drooling after every loss. Oh wait, we beat the Hawks, didn't we?

- If you dont believe Melo is the MVP or as good as the minions say your actively rooting against the Knicks to win. The fact that some just cant understand he's not as good as you think is something the minions cant get their heads around. Instead you swish it around in the toilet that is your thought process regarding this and come up with things like rooting against the team, hating Melo, happy we lose in the first round... pretty clear this thinking is the end of interesting discussion around here.

But you said it best JRod... right now at least KNicks go as MElo goes. And if Melo is taking his 30 shots a game and playing the same level of defense he's been playing the last month or so then yes... the Knicks will probably lose in round one because thats where ALL the teams that go as Melo goes. Ive said it 1000 times, I hope Im wrong.

And your wrong about MDA and riding guys into the ground because Woody is doing the exact same thing. 10 of the last 13 games MElo has logged more than 40 minutes. Melo hasnt played much defense for about a month, certainly nothing close to the effort he started the season with. Even the minions cant deny that. So is that Woody's fault? Is that how Woody holds people accountable? Everyone but Melo because we need him to take 30 shots a game? Thats whats getting us ready for a title run?

JRod.. despite what you think I fully acknowledge the upside of everything you said. Yes, Amare is looking like the old stat (to bad they dont get him the ball). Shump is looking exceptional. Felton's return is huge (and with some fresh legs). If/when Sheed/Camby ever take on a meaningful role in the rotation we become very deep and much improved on defense.

So do I share your optimism?

No.

because
1) its the Knicks
2) the team goes as Melo goes (for now) and ISO-Melo = one and done come this spring
3) team hasnt defended for a month

Can those improve? totally. Will they? remains to be seen. could they get worse? Same as improve... time will tell.

Lawson is not playing as efficient as he was last year but he is still their motor.

If you need a clutch brick then Gallo is your guy.

I would take Lawson, Faried and probably Iggy over Gallo any day. Though I must admit, Gallo is pretty to watch - mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

And it's funny how Melo's being mocked around here for A.) Winning ball games here in 2012-2013. B.) Ranking 2nd amongst all NBA players in scoring at 29.4 points per game (only behind Durant's 29.6 points per game and C.) Because he doesn't "pass too much" despite the fact that D.) Our NYK guards rank dead last in shooting (FG) percentage.

Melo made us a promise, during the offseason, that he'd do whatever it takes to lead our Knicks to victory. And he's done just that by ranking 2nd amongst all NBA players in scoring, 7th amongst all NBA players with a Player Efficiency Rating of 23.4 and also ranks 12th amongst all NBA players in minutes per game. Melo made us a promise, during the offseason, that he'd do whatever it takes to lead our Knicks to victory. And he's done just that here in 2012-2013. We're first place of the Atlantic Division ala something in which our franchise hasn't won since 1994 and only twice under Patrick Ewing's era and second place of the Entire Eastern Conference during only Carmelo Anthony's first (full) season as a New York Knick.

As a team, we're only behind the likes of San Antonio (2-0), OKC (0-0), LAC (0-0), Miami (2-0) and Memphis (0-1) in regards to NBA standings. Melo had led us to the 6th strongest record with a team winning percentage of .643.

But when talking Melo, let's stop acting like Melo's only led us to a .643 winning percentage (27-15) because when in actual reality? Our Knicks are 3-4 without Carmelo Anthony but yet 24-11 during games in which Melo has played.

During games in which Melo has played (while ranking 2nd amongst all NBA players at 29.4 points per game and 7th amongst all NBA players in Player Efficiency Rating) our Knicks have gone 24-11 under Melo. A winning percentage of .686. Melo's winning percentage of .686% here in 2012-2013? Let's just say that only the Spurs, OKC and LAC have a stronger winning percentage (as a team) when compared to .686%. Keep scoring Melo. It's working for our team.

3-4 without Melo.
24-11 with Melo.

But let's not let the fact's get in the way of Melo leading us to the NBA's 6th strongest NBA record 42 games into the regular season, 2nd place of the Entire Eastern Conference and first place of our Atlantic Division while also putting up a .686 winning percentage during games in which Melo has played (24-11). Melo, as our franchise player has led the way for our Knicks while also ranking 2nd amongst all NBA players in scoring and 7th amongst all NBA players in Player Efficiency Rating despite the fact that A.) Our guards rank dead last in shooting percentage and B.) Melo's led a team in which has been without Jason Kidd for 4 games, without Raymond Felton for 12 games, without Kurt Thomas for 15 games, without Rasheed Wallace for 22 games, without Marcus Camby for 28 games, without Amar'e Stoudemire for 30 games and without Iman Shumpert for 37 games.

But yet, Melo has led our Knicks to a winning percentage of .686% during games in which he's played (24-11). Which key (team) injuries have Ginobili, Duncan and Paker had to lead through? Which team injuries have Westbrook, Durant and Ibaka had to overcome? Which key team injuries have Wade, LeBron, Bosh and Allen had to overcome and/or fight through?

Melo promised us during the offseason that he'd do whatever it takes to lead our Knicks to victory. And he's done just that. Ranked 2nd amongst all NBA players in scoring. Ranked 7th amongst all NBA players in Player Efficiency Rating. Leads our Knicks in minutes per game. Has went from SF to PF due to team injuries ala playing out of position while banging down low against much larger BIG's. 3rdon our team in offensive boards per game. 2nd on our Knicks in defensive boards per game. 2nd on our team in overall rebounds behind only Tyson Chandler and 1st on our team in Player Efficiency Rating; all while playing out of position ala doing whatever it takes to win ball games. Due to our winning percentage of .686 during games in which Melo has played (24-11) our Knicks now feature the NBA's 6th strongest record. 2nd place of the entire Eastern Conference. 1st place of our Atlantic Division and 24-11 while Melo has led the way. Thank you Carmelo Anthony.

Remember Before the Season Melo Said He Would Do What it Takes To Win

You're repeating things so much that now I'm starting to hate Melo.

Hey gunsewing, do you remember when Melo stated that he'd do whatever it takes to win?

Because guess what?

Melo's done all of this after moving from SF to PF due to team injuries ala playing out of position while banging down low against much larger BIG's. He's done whatever it takes to win ball games. Due to our winning percentage of .686 during games in which Melo has played (24-11) our Knicks now feature the NBA's 6th strongest record. 2nd place of the entire Eastern Conference. 1st place of our Atlantic Division and 24-11 while Melo has led the way.

But, let's not let the actual facts get in the way when talking Carmelo Anthony.

And it's funny how Melo's being mocked around here for A.) Winning ball games here in 2012-2013. B.) Ranking 2nd amongst all NBA players in scoring at 29.4 points per game (only behind Durant's 29.6 points per game and C.) Because he doesn't "pass too much" despite the fact that D.) Our NYK guards rank dead last in shooting (FG) percentage.

Melo made us a promise, during the offseason, that he'd do whatever it takes to lead our Knicks to victory. And he's done just that by ranking 2nd amongst all NBA players in scoring, 7th amongst all NBA players with a Player Efficiency Rating of 23.4 and also ranks 12th amongst all NBA players in minutes per game. Melo made us a promise, during the offseason, that he'd do whatever it takes to lead our Knicks to victory. And he's done just that here in 2012-2013. We're first place of the Atlantic Division ala something in which our franchise hasn't won since 1994 and only twice under Patrick Ewing's era and second place of the Entire Eastern Conference during only Carmelo Anthony's first (full) season as a New York Knick.

As a team, we're only behind the likes of San Antonio (2-0), OKC (0-0), LAC (0-0), Miami (2-0) and Memphis (0-1) in regards to NBA standings. Melo had led us to the 6th strongest record with a team winning percentage of .643.

But when talking Melo, let's stop acting like Melo's only led us to a .643 winning percentage (27-15) because when in actual reality? Our Knicks are 3-4 without Carmelo Anthony but yet 24-11 during games in which Melo has played.

During games in which Melo has played (while ranking 2nd amongst all NBA players at 29.4 points per game and 7th amongst all NBA players in Player Efficiency Rating) our Knicks have gone 24-11 under Melo. A winning percentage of .686. Melo's winning percentage of .686% here in 2012-2013? Let's just say that only the Spurs, OKC and LAC have a stronger winning percentage (as a team) when compared to .686%. Keep scoring Melo. It's working for our team.

3-4 without Melo.
24-11 with Melo.

But let's not let the fact's get in the way of Melo leading us to the NBA's 6th strongest NBA record 42 games into the regular season, 2nd place of the Entire Eastern Conference and first place of our Atlantic Division while also putting up a .686 winning percentage during games in which Melo has played (24-11). Melo, as our franchise player has led the way for our Knicks while also ranking 2nd amongst all NBA players in scoring and 7th amongst all NBA players in Player Efficiency Rating despite the fact that A.) Our guards rank dead last in shooting percentage and B.) Melo's led a team in which has been without Jason Kidd for 4 games, without Raymond Felton for 12 games, without Kurt Thomas for 15 games, without Rasheed Wallace for 22 games, without Marcus Camby for 28 games, without Amar'e Stoudemire for 30 games and without Iman Shumpert for 37 games.

But yet, Melo has led our Knicks to a winning percentage of .686% during games in which he's played (24-11). Which key (team) injuries have Ginobili, Duncan and Paker had to lead through? Which team injuries have Westbrook, Durant and Ibaka had to overcome? Which key team injuries have Wade, LeBron, Bosh and Allen had to overcome and/or fight through?

Melo promised us during the offseason that he'd do whatever it takes to lead our Knicks to victory. And he's done just that. Ranked 2nd amongst all NBA players in scoring. Ranked 7th amongst all NBA players in Player Efficiency Rating. Leads our Knicks in minutes per game. Has went from SF to PF due to team injuries ala playing out of position while banging down low against much larger BIG's. 3rdon our team in offensive boards per game. 2nd on our Knicks in defensive boards per game. 2nd on our team in overall rebounds behind only Tyson Chandler and 1st on our team in Player Efficiency Rating; all while playing out of position ala doing whatever it takes to win ball games. Due to our winning percentage of .686 during games in which Melo has played (24-11) our Knicks now feature the NBA's 6th strongest record. 2nd place of the entire Eastern Conference. 1st place of our Atlantic Division and 24-11 while Melo has led the way. Thank you Carmelo Anthony.

Remember Before the Season Melo Said He Would Do What it Takes To Win

He also said that he wouldn't be making scoring his priority.. yet he still takes a lot of shots and is avg more PPG than last year..

How about defense? does he plan on playing any of that consistently?

passing?

How about keeping cool, being poised and being a leader? that is part of helping your team win, yet he stands outside the celtics bus, and is near the top of the league in tech fouls..

carmelo is not being mocked.. many of us have seen this from him before... scoring especially.... I think the knicks hot start had a lot to do with a lot of guys playing and shooting well above their averages.... now that has tapered our record has not been so good.. yet carmelo still scores, still rebounds... right? so tell me, what is missing , maybe he should be doing something else?

just saying...

And as a team, what does 26-15 have to do with Melo himself? Because the last time I checked, Melo himself has a winning record of 23-11. That's a winning percentage of .686%.

Also, since this is a thread in regards to Melo, what does 8-10 during our last 18 games have to do with Melo? Heading into our victory against Atlanta our Knicks (not Melo) but our Knicks were 8-10 as a team.

But why did you stop at 18 games? Why couldn't you go back 28 games? Maybe because then the Knicks would have a record of 18-11 over our last 19 games. That wouldn't fit your agenda. But 8-10 over 18 games does.

But speaking of 8-10... Since this thread was/is about Melo... What were the Knicks record with and without Melo during those "18 games". The answer(s) would be A.) 1-3 without Melo and B.) 7-7 with Carmelo Anthony.

Now, since you're using an 8-10 record ala 18 games when speaking Melo, how about we look at our Knicks record during MELO'S last 22 games. Would that be fare? Let's not remove ATL's win please.

During Melo's last 22 games our Knicks have gone 15-7 during games in which Melo has played.

But yea, enough of your B.S gunsewing. I see right through your agenda posting ways.

"We were 26-15, 8-10 last 18 games". Funny how you stopped right at 18 games ala enough to not give us a losing record but also erase the ATL victory. It's funny because you started counting the L's right after our 4 game win streak in which we won 9-1 during our last 10 games. You didn't wanna include that when talking about our loses. Because it wouldn't have fit your agenda. That's when you, gunsewing the poster, started to keep track of "the last 18 games". How convenient of you.

When talking Melo and our Knicks record? 24-11 is the only record that means anything. Go blow your little last 18 games out the window. Because Melo is 24-11 during the 35 games he's played here in 2012-2013. That's a winning percentage of .686% in case you haven't noticed.

and that is the problem with that type of thinking.. this is basically untimatemelo.com for you.... so basically that 23-11 record had nothing to do with JR smith playing big? jason kidd playing out of his mind? rasheed wallace playing well.. NO, it was MELO's Wins.. smdh....

what should alarm you about this, is that maybe our team is not built that well... you keep pointing out how bad we are without him, then that is a problem, or should be, if your concern was truly the knicks as a team....maybe guns went back 18 games because that is when he noticed a trend of slipping play...... but hey...

carry on...
