It's almost as bad as when Lee was an all-star, but not quite, because Lee was one of the most efficient players in the league.

I'm getting fed up of the level of hate directed at him and Amar'e from the media and some fans- they're both good guys, with a good history of success. Both of them are struggling this year, and I get the frustration, but what I don't get is the hatred and relish with which people are tearing into them.

Melo has been injured for much of the year, and now he has all of the media mind games going on inside his head by journalists trying to stir up drama. I hope he and Amar'e can turn things around after the all star game- we need them functioning at a high level if we're serious about making some noise in the playoffs.

I'm still waiting for Danillo Gallinari to become one.

Next question.

That's true, that was a bum selection.

Look, guys, I'm not a Melo hater. Guy seems like a cool enough person.

My whole thing is that we're pulling the horse in two different directions. It's either Melo or MDA; I don't believe they can win together, that's all. But this is the last I'm going to say on it until the end of the season.

I'll quote this after our next loss.

hahahahahaha

Oh, and our linsane Jeremy will be a perrenial all star from next season and onwards. Deserving or not. Mark my words.

Bonn defended Allan Houston all those years he sat on the bench but he goes after Melo for having a bad FG% when he is playing injured. He is a troll, block him.

I don't know why I'm responding to a name-caller but oh well. I've actually been pretty generous towards Melo lately. Most of my posts have focused on how much potential he has to help the team if he makes some simple changes. I defended Allan Houston "all those years he sat on the bench"? I have no idea what that even means.

You are being generous to Melo? What a joke! Your back handed compliments don't make you generous, its just another way to troll. And what you call simple changes are empty stupid posts. They belong in game threads where you comment on what happened the last 20 seconds. You saying stupid stuff like "take better shots" is not constructive or adding anything to the conversation! Stop posting stats and start posting about the games. Don't analyze stats, analyze the opposition, their players and their defense and you will get an idea of how valuable Melo is.

Of course you have no idea about what defending Allan Houston means. That would mean having to defend the position you took that contradicts your current position. Trivialize what I say by saying I am a name caller and completely ignore the rest of my post. That's your MO and its old and tired.
