Infectious energy and hustle. Tenacious battler for rebounds. Long defender who closes out on shooters. This is what they loved about him in the 2015 Summer league.

This was just an f'n stupid victory.

I know the Bulls were just terrible, but you have to manage this game to lose...sorry.

Agree, this is on the coach. Just plain stoopid

Thats becuase you were salivating over Lin and the Ners instead! This was all about Defense.

Impressive, your humor matches your fascination for one dimensional chuckers. Good to know.

You haven't been paying attention. I defend all the Knicks. As this is a Knick board. That and I call out all that blame one player and miss the real issues we have. It's called an opinion. Helpful on fan board. Problem i have with you is how you pretend to be a Knick fan. You know your a Lin fan only. Makes sense. Would respect it if you just admit it. Just let it go bro. Melo will be gone soon and then you can continue to troll him on the Clippers boards.

You mean you want the KINGS to win right? We need the Kings and TWolves to win.

Yeah. Wrote it backwards. Still trying to figure out this whole tank thing lol

LOL - ZERO substance, personal attacks and rants about 54 win season. Let me know when you develop a real opinion. But excuse me for not holding my breath.

Was good to see him get the minutes...If he works on his shooting efficiency I don't see why he can make a contribution at some point. Not unlike a guy name Phil Jackson as a defender...has those long arms which can cause trouble for an opponent.

Hornacek is trying to save his job. He's in a difficult position. He's really coaching now for his next job. It's his job to try to win.

In order to do a "gentleman's tank", the franchise has to trade off veteran guys so they can't amass late season wins. The Knicks don't really have anyone they could trade, the NTC and kicker and salary made Melo pretty close to impossible to move. Rose is a hard match/fit and his salary also presents issues for trying to trade him earlier.

Rose is trying to produce to get his next big contract

Melo is going to try a bit harder because he understands either he or Jackson needs to get got this offseason, so he does what he always does, play a little harder when he's angling to get something he wants. Then dog it once he has it.

This is where the Nets in the other thread really do have an advantage. Their owner, their GM and their coach are all on the same page. The players on their roster are on the same page. They are not a great team, they aren't winning, but they aren't actively hurting themselves by dysfunction like the Knicks.
