+1. Sometimes its hard not to fire back at the negativity on a Knick board.
It's crazy though, alot of Bipolar fans that start the thread taking about KG-2 Melo-0 and then by the end of it, it's like they never said those things if the team wins.It's better to just let it go.
I agree. But that's the thing. I wanted to point it out with an actual example. This thread.
Just go back and read the thread after Melo waited for K.G after the game. It's laughable the hatred that Melo received. Pages upon pages on how Melo's "the bad guy". How his character is "awful" as a man. Now? After tonight? Silent as a lamb. Quiet as a mouse. And why you ask? Because Melo not only stated (heading into the game) that he (as a man) no longer has any ill feeling towards K.G. He served his one game suspension while showing the world (tonight) that his character is of a good man. A leader by example. K.G went after Melo's family through words, Melo went after K.G after the game but tonight? Melo had the mental toughness and ability to not only make it known that there are no problems between he and K.G, but also went as far as giving K.G some dap before tipoff. No mention of this. Why? Because now these negative Melo critics can't act as if Melo's "the bad guy" and/or "some type of P.O.S". Quiet as a mouse.
Remember all the pages upon pages of harping all over Melo duo to K.G "being in Melo's head the entire game" despite the fact that the actual argument never took place until the 4th quarter (I believe). Now, tonight? Where are those same negative Melo critics who stated that K.G was "inside of Melo's head"? Where are they now? Look at the box score. Look at what Melo did when compared to K.G tonight ala took over the entire 2nd half and led our Knicks to victory. Is it safe to say that Melo got inside the head, heart and soul of K.G tonight? Look at K.G's numbers; it sure appears that way. No mention of this to those fans in question? Laughable. More like pathetic. And as a poster who appreciates this forum? Has loved the Knicks since childhood days, appreciates lots of posters with N.Y knowledge around here? It's my right to expose this "trend".
We can talk up Gallo. Talk up Lin. Harp all over Melo. Bash Amar'e Stoudemire. Harp all over Raymond Felton. Attack J.R Smith. Love Iman Shumpert with everything you have. Mock Tyson Chandler and his all-star selection. That's all you see around here from a group of about 5-7 posters. We all know who they are too. And they (try to) ruin this board. They are attempting to take away the fun of one of our greatest starts to a season our franchise has ever seen (key words being 'one of'). First place of the Atlantic Division ala something we haven't won since 1994. Second place of the (entire) Eastern Conference. For as great as Ewing was, he only led us to two division titles. Melo could be on the verge of leading us to a division title, during only his first (full) season as a Knick. Although, let's not let the fact's get in the way of truth. Or else, you're a homer and have no clue of the game of basketball. And yes, I loved Ewing with everything I had during my childhood days, but no, the Bulls weren't in our Atlantic Division while Ewing could only lead us to two division titles. So let's not blame it on MJ23. Melo's on the verge of doing so (or could be) during only his first actual full season as a Knick. I love it.
But yet, now this thread shouldn't be created because "they say so"? Nice to know. We can't appreciate, respect, enjoy and become amped up for (without question) the greatest all around Knick since Patrick Ewing and arguably the greatest pure scorer this franchise has ever seen? Yes, I know about Bernard King. How long ago was this? As if it's some type of knock against Melo for stating that he's one of, if not the greatest pure scorer in Knicks franchise history.
Melo stated there is no ill feelings towards K.G. Gave K.G dap before game time. Out performed K.G during the entire 2nd half, appears as if Melo was inside of K.G's head, led us to victory against the Celtics on the road in Boston against a (current) heated Atlantic Division rival. No mention of this? Quiet as a mouse? Silent as a lamb? Amazingly pathetic.
