Keeping Chris Smith makes us cursed by the basketball gods.

if he were then their effort would show up on the defensive end of the court.

knicks look like a team that does not believe in their own cause.

what was said cannot be unsaid.

melo calls a players-only meeting

Typical agenda posting by you...Not saying we dont have front office/ownership issues, but please explain how Melo's comments directly effected the following this afternoon:

Shump 1-5
Felt 3-10
Smith 1-9 4 TO's
Stat 1-5

BTW, the players only meeting was called just before the Bobcats win...Oh, my bad we beat the Bobcats because Pat Ewing was coaching

should melo have kept his piehole shut? yes or no?

Do those guys' numbers change if he does? I really don't think so.

yes their numbers change.

and by the way... what is melo's agenda?

Their number's change if melo doesn't open his piehole? Really? Can you be more delusional please.

More to the first of points, what's your agenda? Bull**** Melohate aside. If that's possible.

it's about MORALE.
melo's words have hurt the team's MORALE.
firing grunwald hurt the knicks MORALE.
dolan's edict hurt the knicks MORALE.
the symptom is playing without the right energy but the underlying cause is a lack of MORALE. they are a dispirited and underperforming group because of the words that were said.
what was said cannot be unsaid!

i am bearing witness and like any witness i have my point of view. dolan and melo are obviously malignant morons.

Your honor, the witness is hostile.

MORALE is not going to help Stat, if you continue with this point of view, you are excused from the witness chair.
MORALE is not going to help JR from tossing airball layups after 5 games off. Contempt of court is obviously an offshoot of your point of view.

Props to you however, for not blaming MORALE on the ORANGE UNI's.

Lin was a teammate..

if you want another peer, I could put rudy gay in, but I don't know of any issues he had with carmelo.

Peers: I'll call your KG and PP and raise you a hello from Lebron and Kobe.

And what exactly did Lin express about Melo while he was a teammate?

They played together in multiple all-star games, olympics, etc and are close friends. On top of which they are all nba players. How are they not considered peers of Melo?

well if you are including that they are all NBA players, then LIN fits right in.. when I mentioned lin, someone said how is he a peer? LOL.. go back and look.. if we define peers this way then LIN is a peer...

My fault, i did not read the entire conversation. That being said, you forgot about the first part, which is the real relevance.

This board is really shot its bizarre

If you want to put this under a microscope do the same for the prior game where Melo calls a team meeting and does all the things his distractors say he doesnt.. defend, pass, rebound...

Rockets game last year, revisited.

Be very interesting to see how we rebound. Tough 5 games coming before 4 games on the road. Pistons are on a losing streak, but aren't getting blown out.
