I clicked on that useless link and there is no need for DK to click on it.. what does it prove? again, is it too hard to stand up to him and defend an argument instead of trying to drag the argument down to the gutter with useless links?

i clicked on the link. it confirmed what i already knew. the issue in that thread was whether anthony was guarding lebron and the answer was no. in fact based on the lbj highlight reel it really looks like anthony is in the ymca on a tuesday night. and as i said then, i watched the game on a video stream, for reasons i can't recall. why would i lie?

hey it's great when guys here try to cite threads from there. it's a white flag moment. they have no argument so they feel forced to scavenge stuff from years ago.

as i said before last season, when melo announced his intention to explore free agency-- what was said cannot be unsaid. it colored the whole season and was a big source for implosion, which i correctly predicted. human nature trumps professionalism. hard to rally around melo if you're his so-called teammate and he comes up with such a statement. it doesn't instill confidence or inspire one to give effort.

and here again this summer, anthony opens his piehole-- and what was said cannot be unsaid. although i have hopes for fisher, it's statements like melo's that makes it extremely challenging for other knicks to give their all.

No I was referring to putting people on ignore.

As far as the realgm I didn't pay much attention to it because I don't see how it applies to this topic

not only does it not apply, but it is from a poster on that site who had an ax to grind with dk.. I know, dk has mentally whooped his tail on numerous occasions..

A bunch of guys responded to you. It seemed like they all had an axe to grind. Which one is TKF referring to?

why should i do your research for you? you got such a hardon for this approach go ahead and write your novel.

Those who choose to use the "Big Lie" have had much historical success, even when contradicted by the facts.

Think about the Birthers, Creationists, Climate change deniers, etc. People want to believe the things which fit comfortably into their mindset, especially if they like or support the liar. Remember how many believed Clinton (who I voted for) and his Lewinski denials? Remember the WMD lies pushed by Bush?

Anthony is in good company, but he would have been smarter to keep quiet, especially since, a few days before the ESPN interview, he opened up a venture capital company in order to make even more money, since $124M might not be enough to feed the kids.

As stated by Carmelo, "I particularly have my eye on companies that are involved with wearable technology and connected devices." A new charity or non-profit foundation might have seemed fitting given his contract, and been great publicity to counter the negative comments made by many about his contract, but I think all Knicks fans who spend time at the Garden watching the Knicks will take pride in the possibility that the money they spend on tickets and items at the game will, indirectly, go toward the marketing of Carmelo headphones and other wearable technology.

Until Melo plays games for this season he deserves whatever criticism he gets, when he responds in interviews like this.

I'm kind of confused

If Melo has played flawlessly his whole time here, why is the triangle such an x factor?

Why does Phil have to 'reach Carmelo' and 'change his game'

Is the thinking Carmelo is going to go from scoring 25-27ppg to 30-33ppg with less volume?

Triangle proves to be some hocus pocus remedy for him

The triangle if ran properly would hopefully stop the rest of the team from standing and watching iso ball. Instead there will be more spacing and choreographed motion away from the ball leading to more efficient shots for the whole team as well as the belief that the whole team is contributing to the offense rather then relying purely on Melo.

That would be the hope away. But then again why hope for anything, we should just come to message boards and complain all day over things we have no control over because that's what leads to positive outcomes.

Even more confused

Is it okay to complain about how bad Felton was at point, how bad Tyson defended the paint, about Amar'e knees, about J.R. and his immaturity?

The reason I ask////is there much rebuttal when it's done to players above or is it the timing of complaints

When the regular season is 0-0

Optimism proves we'll finish 50-32, pessimism proves we'll be 30-52

When the regular season is 20gms in

Optimism proves we'll go 40-22 if we start 7-13, Pessimism proves we'll go 20-42 if we start 7-13

When the regular season is 40gms in

Pessimism is acceptable sitting at 15-25

When the regular season is 60gms in

Stone whichever player you want except your absolute favorite
