Why would anyone bellyache about a call that went their teams way? This is what I don't get.

Hey man we all LOVE the team, it's that we HATE Melo more and can't stand it when he wins game for us with no help from our favorite players. Hypocrisy at it's finest.

being a little overdramatic.

Dude, when Melo is getting non calls, offensive fouls or phantom calls against him you always validate them in game threads. Not typical fan behavior in my opinion. There are guys that I have hated on the Knicks. Nothing wrong with that. Tyson, D'Antoni, Shump in the end etc. Own your melo hate. Do that and I don't think guys will call you Irish anymore. Anyone that spends anytime here knows where you stand. The waffling is what Irish did.

Have a habit of watching the came with no volume when the Knicks are away.

Did not realize it was a foul until Plumlee complained- until then I thought it was going to be a charging violation.

We deserved a call at that point, although the refs did their best to screw him/us with the non-call on the push.

Plumlee was moving the whole time. Not sure how that wouldn't go Melo's way.
Also, having some trouble with ballstreams. If I watch on my computer it is fine but I have a wired connection on my roku and never experienced lag/buffering. This year that happens all the time. Not that big a deal if I allow it to buffer for 5-10 minutes. Are you having any issues?

Will be using a Roku in a few weeks.

They will sometimes let the defender in that situation get the call if the offensive player seems to be forcing it. Anthony has gotten called on that type of play before when he was too aggressive leading with his shoulder with his head down.

Besides...how can you think that even if it was blocking we might not get the call??!!

I can just go on my reaction while watching it- I really thought it was going to be charging-was both happy and amazed when it wasn't. I always fear the worst.

Some hiccups at times, but it is OK, for the most part.

agreed

Right now Grant's confidence is shot...better to have him watching than see him have issues in a close game which might cost us the game.

This was not a game to develop your rookies at the expense of a victory.

I actually think Jerian would've flourished along with the others playing at that fast pace! He struggled with the slower pace but has always looked good when they got out and ran like tonight. IMO it's about the players approach. There's no need to slow it down and force the side Triangle every time down. They didn't do that tonight and so I think Jerian would've been fine playing FAST!

I agree. It is rare that Melo gets the correct call though.

I disagree....It clearly shows that Melo can't even beat a 7'1 dude off the dribble anymore. And he clearly lowered his shoulder into Plumlee. It should've been a no call, out on Melo. Just being honest. We have to find a better strategy when closing out games. That was almost a back to back turnover on Melo.....Saved by the ref.

Would LOVE for us to have a guard that could create something instead of forcing MELO so much. Gotta hope they can get Jerian on track cuz we need his penetration and kick ability.

This.

Fools gold, in some ways.

You guys do understand that Anthony cannot do this on a regular basis?...I see it as his present to KP for his invisible game, but it is not something we can count on, IMO.

We should relish his performance, and maybe it serves a statement game, in some ways...but it is not the blueprint for consistent success for this team.

I do like that they tried to isolate him closer to the basket- which is something I've been whining about for a while, now.

Hopefully the win and his performance energizes the team.
