Cannot believe all this NY media and known NBA experts they all waiting to see Carmelo Anthony fall &
get blames when he return if NY wins few in row then lose 4 of 6 games scenario.

Carmelo Anthony is getting the same selfish tag & dis-respect as Pat Ewing at end of his career Knicks declined(Ew didn't deserve) also Stephon Marbury. Marbury brought on his issues to himself and was selfish based on rips on teammates.

All in all Carmelo Anthony has somethings to change in his team approach. But with all the media bash
and prior George Karl bashing about Melo's style. Since Karl is a great coach always successful he got a ticket to dump on Anthony
which makes Karl seems like even a GREATER nba coach cause of it.

Seems like Knicks some fans or lots of followers wish Carmelo would just go away someplace outta Newyork!
Basically I don't get it! Anthony getting hurt or being not around allowed players to play and work.
Reward a 5-6 game ? winning streak.

The NBA experts is acting like Melo Anthony is most selfish player ever in history of NBA Knicks, Nuggets and rest of superstar NBA elite aren't selfish? Wade? Nowitski? R.Westbrook and Kobe ?

Mr. Anthony isn't some scorer coming into NBA the other day but he's sure being setup to be the bad guy as all NBA experts takes side that when Amare comes back he wont be any issue to merge his style with super Jeremy Lin.

However Melo Anthony will be major problem here.

This is a funny town. I do understand the main concerns since Knicks has success and been doing hooping like we've never ever seen before in some time. Of course Melo gotta modify parts on his game. But Carmelo Anthony isn't a dummy. He's smart. He's won a NCAA
title championship. Even got 1 series win once from Nuggets (lost) beating LA to go to NBA finals.

This is reason lots of NBA elite or stars dont want to come to NY for this garbage. Amare wanted NY says "The Knicks are back". Melo wanted NY wanting to be back home in NYK proud jersey.

However sentiments are unless Knicks keep winning same pace WE DONT NEED Carmelo Anthony. That is totally absurd & pretty disturbing!

Carmelo as Public enemy #1.

Well melo di create a lot of this. he wanted to be a knick yet he wanted his money more and didn't give a damn about trading every chip we had. He then guaranteed success and failed. great players make otehrs better. hell lebron who i hate with a passion took a cavs team to the finals. Now i have said trade melo because first of all it will be difficult and also i want to give him a chance. See melo lovers are too stupid to realize that being critical of melo doesn't mean that you are a hater. I mean according to melo lovers he is perfect and if that was teh case wouldn't he have multiple championships? lol

So Melo pulled the trigger on the trade? Melo played his entire career in the West up until last year. Give him 100% blame for the Nuggets not making it to the Finals but I guess that makes those Spurs and Lakers teams overrated.

Melo is not perfect but it gets old hearing the same unfounded crap day after day. If you didn't like the trade get over it and root for Melo to do well. The Knicks will only go as far as Melo takes them. He's the man, like it or not. Personally I like it and can't wait for the "I told you so."

See you think im hating on melo. But for the 100000th time im just stating the facts so far. That doesn't mean melo cant turn it around. melo has a perfect oppurtunity to redeem himself since he has the talent. I never have said that melo isn't a great player he is but he has to start helping others guys tooo which he could if he tries. The problem Cash is that you never point out his flaws you just say how wonderful he is so im sorry if i disagree with you a little but i just try to be honest

What facts are you referring to? He is what he is. He's not a point forward and us never going to average 7 assists a game. He is an elite scorer who plays ok D and can rebound. Does he sometimes force shots? Yup. The difference between you and ne us that I accept him for the player he is whereas you want him to be a different player.

The guy has won a championship in college as a freshman and his Denver teams did very well in a tough Western Conference, including taking the eventual champion Lakers to the 6th game of the 2009 Conference Finals. But based on a handful of games this year with a team with no PG and a clueless head coach who decided to misuse Melo as a point forward to facilitate a stagnant offense, all of a sudden he's trash, not a team player, has last all trade value and not a winner. That's just garbage.

100% right
could not agree with Isleman fan more
super point made

Some seem to fail to realize D'Antoni is still NYK Coach and when ball gets dumped to MELO and play stops, everyone clears out
D'Antoni made Melo a Point-Forward and also has responsibility for Melo 'hog' of ball and movement stopped by players.

D'Antoni gets credit for Lin here ..cool
But D'Antoni offense thru Carmelo A, was his schemes.

Melo gets all fault for busted plays and things gone wrong and the coach is calling more than 1/2 the scheme sets failing before
Lin arrived.

Melo has to get more team '1st' which he has demonstrated before with Denv. and also NY when he joined the Knicks.
His marriage to Knicks hasnt yet be perfect. But like some fans I hated much to see Gallo go but I love having Melo a Knick.

He's a proven scorer /threat.
He's tough in final 2 min. of most games (at least last yr for NY). We all need to give Melo a chance to merge into the PG/Lin
led Knicks as well as see what he brings to table for 1 full season as a Knickerbocker, his dream.

Amare is a great NBA player and love when he signed with Knicks. However Amare can't be the #1 guy when it comes to Melo.
There are nights I'm sure someone other than Melo (Lin ?) can beat teams with winning shots.

Fact of matter Stars make the league.
When you STEP Up vs. the best teams in playoffs you're not winning without them.
PG Lin will make difference and so will Melo and his supporting knicks cast.

sealy wrote:I was not a fan of the trade and am not that big of a fan of Melo, but what the media has done the past two days is pure BS, considering he hasn't even returned and yet he is already destroying our juggernaut of a team that has beaten a weak NJ team, inexperienced Utah, Wizards aka Ass Clowns, a Laker team coming off an OT the previous night, and stealing one in Minny.

Believe me, I am not trying to take away from the great feeling that this run has given all of us or the excitement about think what this team and Lin can potentially be, but gimme of f'in break with this overreacting crap. This is like when all the naysayers said Stoudemire's time was up at the beginning of the season and he should be traded, but now he's gonna be a beast, right?

All this coverage is gonna do is create conflict, because certain guys aren't smart enough to not get sucked in, and after our next loss the subsequent knee jerk NY BS will ensue on here and in the media. Why Melo is responding to dudes w/ twitter handles w/ Philly in them is the perfect example. Berman, Bissinger, Begley, and even Magic can do their thing all they like, I just hope these guys use all this as a way to come closer and become stronger, rather than let it divide them.

Well put
agreed.

To either trade Melo or Amare in those NY rumors is a loss since neither was playing well for any returned value
thus both stars wasnt going anywhere anyhow and Stoudemire / Anthony is still MOST Valuable to Knickerbockers even moreso
now with emergence of PG Jeremy Lin a new fresh air & 'legit' PG for our team.

I always say give a player full season 1 yr
same when D'Antoni got coaching job he needed 2-3 yrs,
Amare got here was good season#1 and nearly MVP season last yr

Way back when J.Crawford came a Knick ..some buried him and he didnt even get full season yet, Said give him 1 yr.
Well our JCraw Knicks never made playoffs but the kid developed and off court is as decent On court.

Guys like JCraw and David Lee did well here on poor teams

Gotta give them time .. got to give Melo time despite George Karl barbs at Melo.
He's our superstar along with Amare,
