Anthony claimed players meeting was "productive" and needed.
I love how we hold players meetings
Then come out the next game or two and get WAXED thereafter
Last year we called a metter after 4gms sitting 1-3
Won the very next game and then lost 9 straight games soon thereafter

If you had "The New York Knicks" in the pool for "first team to hold a players-only meeting in a desperate attempt to right the ship," congratulations! From ESPN NY: New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony questioned his team's effort in a players-only meeting following a loss to the Charlotte Bobcats on Tuesday.
"We shut the door after the game and talked it out a little bit and tried to figure out what was happening," Anthony said Friday.
Anthony's message to his teammates was direct.
"We've got to want it, we've got to want to do it. We've got to believe in ourselves, and right now we're playing like we don't even believe in ourselves," Anthony said. "It's just effort."

This year we decided to wait a couple more weeks
We didn't want to show signs of panic considering the team
Was on the cusp of turning things around after the Cleveland game
