Melo and-or Karl it doesn't matter
Rosters only during postseason play is follies finest |

I think Melo can be a big part of winning a title but he needs to play with someone who is a better overall player, im not talking about a better scorer just another guy who is very good at all phases of the game I can understand why you would believe this based on perception. In that same 2006 season which they lost to the Clippers, they lost Nene for all 82games of the season and playoffs. Camby and Martin both played 56 games each that yr. Yet Denver won 44 games to win there division and snag the 3rd seed. The Clippers won 47 games that yr(more games then Denver) to snag the 6th seed. Clippers also beat Denver 3 out of the 4 times during the regular season that yr. In the playoffs Martin played only 2 out of 5 games at 18mins a pop. So if your keeping score 2 of the players that you claim Melo had the pleasure of playing with did not contribute to the team during the playoffs in 06. Clippers lineup during the series: Sam Cassell, Cutino Mobley, Corey Maggette, Elton Brand, Chris Kaman & Shaun Livingston. Clippers had the better available lineup. Elton Brand put up MVP type numbers that series. Brand was 7th in MVP voting that yr. Denver and the Jazz both held the same record at 53 wins on the season. Karl had throat cancer and stepped away from the team the last month of the season and the playoffs. They also no longer had Camby and replaced him with a lesser Birdman. During the series Melo put up superstar numbers 30pts 8.5rebs 3.3ast 2stls per game dominating his matchup. Deron Williams dropped 26pts 11ast per game on Billups. Boozer dropped 25pts 13rebs per game on Nene. Milsap dropped 17pts 10rebs on Martin. Cj Miles dropped 14pts per game on Jr Smith(11) If your keeping score, the core talent that you are claiming provided Melo with so much help severely lost there match ups mostly to better players then themselves. Nene and Martin combined for 21pts, 14rebs, 2.7stls per game. Boozer & Milsap combined for 40pts, 23rebs, 3blks per game. https://vote.nba.com/en Vote for your Knicks.

I think Melo can be a big part of winning a title but he needs to play with someone who is a better overall player, im not talking about a better scorer just another guy who is very good at all phases of the game your point is that melo is really just a glorified junior varsity player who falls short in the playoffs time and again. it's a team game. melo has never in his entire career been anything close to (a) a complete player and (b) a player who makes others around him better. but hey it's always his teammates and his coaches. year in year out, consistently. is carmelo anthony ever responsible for any of his failures? just because he himself never takes responsibility does not give you or anyone else permission to look elsewhere. seems that the common thread to melo getting kicked out of first rounds is........melo himself. knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%

I think Melo can be a big part of winning a title but he needs to play with someone who is a better overall player, im not talking about a better scorer just another guy who is very good at all phases of the game I only posted facts about the 2 series that F5000NE presented. He said there was no excuse for them to lose those series. As if Denver was a far superior team due to there seeding. As for Melo not being a complete player or a player who makes players better around him. I agree with all of that. Maybe he wins more in the playoffs if he was more of a complete player. I'm not going to dispute that. There is clearly middle ground. As you said (before you decided to then put all the blame on Melo) its a team game. Denver didn't lose in the playoffs strictly because of Melo. Melo didn't lose in the playoffs strictly because of his supporting cast. They usually lost in the playoffs because they played better teams then themselves and they couldn't come together as a team to overcome that. https://vote.nba.com/en Vote for your Knicks.

Why absolve Melo from all blame
Melo should have best him it's a regular season award, he didn't place
Brand = 52%fg 24.7ppg 10rebs 1stls 2.5blks Melo = 48%fg 26.5ppg 5rebs 1stls .5blks Looking at the series Brand outplayed him There's a clear distinction between the two
Melo is not a 2-way player and was highly inefficient

Melo = 33%fg 21ppg 3ast 6.5rebs 1stl
This same year failed to come through in regular season greatness Melo was a monumental failure overall here |

To get into the playoffs
To distribute the blame and when it's applicable
Is on the Pacers now
Possibly other Pacers doing the same player for player
In the series against Denver too, in case you forgot |
