Really a shame that the Celtics are so good at denying our stars the ball at the end of games. If Knicks don't figure a way around that, this will probably be done by game 4

At the end of the day they are just #s and as great as his game was it makes the total lemon in game one hurt even more.

Best performance? Knicks are down 0-2

fishmike - offensively?

What about the 17 rebounds and 9 assists?

C'mon son, you are being awfully stubborn with your gold stars.

Speaking of which, how can a player go 0-11 from the field and be +10 in the stat book? Bill Walker's line confounds me.

Had Melo had a repeat of Game One there would be pitchforks and torches.

Some guys are haters and are going to hate no matter what Carmelo does. The only thing surprising is no "diva" comment.

if your calling me a hater just be man enough to say it, dont elude to it.

He's turned the diva act around (thank god). Seems once he bought into the system (whatever that means) he's played amazing basketball that translated into WINS.

I dont hate on any player, certainly not Knick players. I simply call it like I see it.

Melo played a GREAT game. Awesome effort. We lost. What do you want from me? I guess that effort in a losing cause excuses the total lemon he laid in game one?

Since you clearly have ZERO clue on how I feel or think about Melo and the Knicks (Ive explained it in other posts) spare us all these comments yea?

"Forget the scoring and the rebounding. Carmelo put an entire basketball team on his back and damn near delivered a miracle."

Earl... it wasnt a miracle though was it? You know who's STILL talking about Dwight Howard's 40+ point monster game one against the Hawks? Nobody, they lost. It doesnt matter. Its not hating. Its reality.

I EXPECT Melo to have big games. Thats why you trade away half your picks and starters for, a guy who can have big games.

I'm behind Melo a 100%, as with ALL the Knicks. Unlike some of TRUE haters around here who for years dogged Gallo, or Douglas or whoever I'm 100% behind this team, Melo included.

You guys think I am a hater because why? I say Melo at this point in his career is just another Vince Carter? Gilbert Arenas? Guess what... HE IS.

You think I like that? You think I like saying that? You think I like being right about that? If you do you have paid attention to NOTHING I have posted here and instead opted to read what you want to read. I would like nothing more than to buy you, vmart, and jerzyhustla a pint AND a shot at Stout and say this rounds on me for being proved DEAD WRONG about the caliber of player Melo is. But that hasnt happened yet has it? As of now he's a super talented guy who puts up big numbers, goes to all star games and sells jerseys, but his post season record says he's a 2nd tier guy.

What am I wrong about here? Im telling you what I see... do tell me if you see something different. I'm sorry if I'm not more excited about being down 0-2. I wish I had your blind enthusiasm.

Without Shaq, Gasol, Odom, and Bynum...Kobe and Wade would be that guy too...

Dude chill, this thread isn't wasn't about you. I agree that a loss is a loss and there are NO excuses from me. But that doesn't mean I won't take time to appreciate effort like this after having read endless questions about his heart and his lack of effort on defense and that he can't do it by himself. All I am saying is this type of effort should silence those criticisms. We have been losing games for the last ten years how many players do you recall who said 'I am not going to lose' and did everything he could to ensure that we didn't lose? Did he fall short yes, but as a fan you have to respect what this guy did. If you don't and he doesn't show up next game will you not be be sticking knives in him? So why can't we just recognize good effort when we see it? What's wrong with that?

Jordan 6-19 23 pts in a game 4 loss of the 1996 Finals. Around these parts everyone is allowed a bad playoff game here and there except for Melo, of course.
