Irish, I thought I heard the broadcasters say Melo should be paid more to play on such a bad team. I wasn't locked into to the broadcast until the third quarter so I might have missed something but are you saying the broadcasters said the Knicks are better without Melo?

yes they did. They had a stretch where they could not make a fg but got to the line occasional. There have been shot clock violation in other games when Melo didn't play and plenty of games when Melo has played where there were not any violations. There have been games he played where violations occurred when he was on the bench.

French, i never said we are better without melo it just seemed tonight the ball was moving a bit better and guys had more confidence

Did the broadcasters say the Knicks were better?

No they asked why don't they play like this all the time but they do. They are an inconsistent squad that plays team close. Their inability to play defense is why they can not get over the hump.

You cant be serious with that last line? MJ shot the ball over 20 times per game every year of his career under Phil Jackson....In a 4 years stretch Kobe jacked up 20+ shots including 27 FGA's in 2006 under Phils watch...Kobe has taken more than 20 FGA's 13 times over his career while MElo AKA ball hog has only averaged over 20 FGA's 1 time while wearing a Knick Uni.....

He's averaging 19 FGA's this year while playing in the triangle with far less talent around than Kobe had, yet Kobe still found a way to put up 27 FGA's per in one year....

Yep. Idiot wind.

So you're sourcing a perceived idiot to add steroid to your argument

Even if there was a stretch like you say there was which I don't recall at least we got to the line during that time... I'm not a melo hater ... It's just that our entire offensive flow is for melo, this is a team sport and melo needs to be apart of the flow... Look how good chitown is and there best scorer is butler.. He shoots when the opportunity is givin not forced ... Like how we force the offense through melo all the time, the rest of the players fall asleep.. To where 60 percent of the time because chitown is a team there roll hinrick, brooks, Noah, gasol,Europedude, hit there shoots when given the opportunity. Unlike our players who are open think ... Where's melo... Which is wrong
