The same tkf that said Denver was on its way to a championship team? Lol. Melo will be fine.

Others said worse. Like this knicks team would win 50+ games

What's your point?

be honest jrodmc you live for that. Somebody bashing melo so you can come to the rescue and put them in their place

I do....I do

It's not something I'm proud of, but no one else is doing it, so....

True story: had to take a family member to the ER this past Monday, and I was wearing a Knicks t-shirt. One of the male nurses looks over at me.

male nurse: "You can wear that after the All Star game Melo just had?"
jrodmc: "yeah, I can, because I'm no front runner"
Male nurse" "Oh, I wasn't saying that"
jrodmc: "yeah, then what were you saying?"
no response

Seriously stupid dick in real life, too.

#1- Actually, that Denver team who lost in the playoffs after Gallinari got knocked out for the season was an interesting group that could have done some damage. Before the injury, they were as good as anyone in the West.

Folks also forget that Faried and Lawson also had injuries that diminished their respective games in the playoffs, if I remember correctly.

#2- "Melo will be fine." What exactly does that mean? Did you also buy into the 2 month recovery myth?

The simple fact is that you now have a potential situation where two of you season can be affected by this injury in one way or another.

Hope the recovery is quick and he has not lost much of his athletic ability, but in a post PED world, athletes above 30 who are exhibiting wear and tear type injuries usually don't return to their prime time performance standards.

Dr. Maharam expressed optimism that Anthony will return from surgery the same player he was before without any physical interruptions.

“His career will be fine,” he said. “This is absolutely not a career-ending issue. I would say to Knicks fans: Don’t worry. He’ll be all right. He’s making a good decision to do it now so he can play next year when he gets some good players around him. It’s a good time for him to be hurt because he’s not going to get them to the championship this year. So get fixed and hopefully Jackson will bring in some people.”

Dr. Maharam described Anthony’s condition universally as “jumper’s knee” and involves inflammation of the tendon, during which the “fibers don’t line up parallel anymore,” causing the tendons to swell and become weaker.

The purpose of a debridement procedure, he said, is to scrape and smooth out the tendon “which makes platelets (parts of the blood) come out to your body’s own stem cells to heal it. And you need the six months to heal it again for it to be a strong tendon again without these little knots in it.”

Dr. Maharam said that Anthony likely didn’t exacerbate the injury by playing on it — including 30 minutes in Sunday’s All-Star Game — even though the Knicks star said he’s been experiencing pain since late October.

why listen to a doctor when you have posters on this site to set you straight? Melo jihadists unite! Good post crush. I was looking for some real info of the procedure as Ive worked through knee issues of my own and played a lot of ball through that. This whole thing will be a blessing in disguise.

Yet if he goes along with the 4-6 month recovery prognosis AND claims that Anthony playing on the leg did not exacerbate things, you have to go back to the time he was first examined and wonder why, if he was diagnosed with an injury possibly requiring 6 months recovery time, he did not immediately get the surgery, and whether this was ever suggested to him by Jackson.

When did we first know of the nature of the injury?

What exactly did we find out when he was first examined?

What was the initial prognosis and recovery period?

If the initial recovery time was short, then why did it increase?

If the initial recovery time was longer, then why was he not shut down earlier?

Who is calling the shots, here?

It drives me crazy to think about Melo and his massive contract when he was throwing Jeremy Lin's contract offer under the bus as "ridiculous".

Now two years later at the trade deadline we have:
- our top salary-getter is out for 6 months after playing injured for 2 months of meaningless ball in a season on track to be our worst ever
- we just bought out the guy with the second-highest salary (Stat) so he can play with Dirk
- the 3rd (Bargs) and 4th highest (Jose) salary-getters are admittedly untradeable, with Jose on the books into 2017
- and the guys right after then on the salary spreadsheet going into this season — Smith and Dalembert — were traded and waived

Whose contract was ridiculous again?

Absolutely disgusted.
