If the story is now KP skipped the exit meeting due to JH giving him tough love. Should a thread also be made dedicated to exonerate Phil from the narrative of KP skipping exit meeting due to him?

No. Phil is ancient history. Who cares about exonerating him?

I happen to think Phil should be exonerated.

This is really silly

All opinioms from jist another fat guy with no athletic ability trying to show he knows anything about basketball. One who only defends his dorim repitation and previous positiins on it. Ie. Melo, Noah, Phil, Dennis Smith JR, Grant, Timmy. The list keeps growing.

The part you don't see die to your obsession with Melo, defending your on record posts, is that I am not defending Melo. I am calling out mindless fans that resort to middle School player scapegoating theory. Or the Lin/Gallo lovers that can't move on. My point has always been the same.
The real issue and reason we have/will not be successful is not ONE player but the ownership and fromt office. But you keep acting like a spoiled middle school kid in the sidelines of a basketball game and point out all of Melo's flaws.

I often wonder if you will be able to move on from Melo? I feel bad for you guys I really do you have a pseudo-star holding the basketball and team hostage. Melo should go but the ingrained mentality of Melo won't allow it. He is a disinterested player a content player who isn't motivated enough to win or to change his game for the betterment of team play. Simply put Melo's ego doesn't allow him to see himself.

Melo suffers from delusion of grandeur. I can't see how a player that shoots 43% from the floor is your best player. The worst team shooting percentage was Memphis at 43.6 percent that means Melo put the team in dire straits. That mean the other player with 68 shots to them had to carry Melo's piss poor shooting. To me Melo is more a burden on the team than super star. He isn't Bernard King or Pat Ewing he doesn't leave it all out on the floor.

I really don't care if Melo goes or stays all I know is I want to limit his minutes. 15-20 minutes is tops.

It will be easy for me to move on from Melo. Haters will just attach themselves to putting down another player on the team. Cuz haters need to hate to create a scape goat and make themselves feel better about themselves. Think it has already started with KP.

43% shooting. True. He takes too many bad shots. Specially when everyone else folds under pressure and hands him the ball with a couple of seconds on the shot clock. But your right, I dont like his shot selection at times. Think he should stick to mid range game.

I hope he goes. Time for young guys to prove themselves and build something. And for him to have a shot on a good team.

You just scapegoated the entire team to protect Melo. One thing you shouldn't do is blame other for Melo's shot cumming. He takes bad shot regardless of who is on the floor.

Huh. Just said he takes bad shots. Scapegoat is ONE player. Team not being very good is factual.
