the NBA has to somehow include Lin in the All Star festivities.... him being involved somehow will add about 5 million viewers... imagine how much more revenue the NBA would be able to generate just by Lin appearing in the Rookie/Soph game?? $$$$$$$$

Jeffries and Chandler have established a respectable partnership down low, and it's started with communication. Both guys credit approaching each other during timeouts and on the court discussing defensive schemes, and calling out switches and player movements on the court.
"We've built a lot of camaraderie, man," Jeffries said. "Tyson does a great job of talking and it's easy for me to go out there and play with a guy like him, and play at that level. It's fun right now. We're all having fun and we're just riding the wave of what Jeremy and Tyson are doing for us."
"I love having Jared on my side," Chandler said. "His communication, coming in and out of timeouts, telling me what he's seeing out there. I know he's somebody that I can rely on. Also, I don't have to help as much. When I can key in, like tonight, on Bynum and that's it, I'm going to shut people down. When I get in trouble is when I have to help other people a lot, and I come over and my guy already has the ball in scoring position."
Chandler and Jeffries' swarming defense made it especially difficult for Bynum to turn his body to face the basket. He really had to work hard to fight for positioning, and when he tried to twist his body to get into a scoring stance, it didn't work. Bynum was too clogged, and he ended up shooting off-balanced, contested shots.

Why doesn't Melo sit with his team but stands right outside tunnel and just chats it up during home games?

Melo sat with the team the majority of the game. He was sitting in between Jerome Jordan and Jeremy Lin the majority of the game. The camera panned to him several times laughing it up with Landry Fields and cheering the team on with Baron. I don't even recall seeing him standing outside the tunnel at any point.
I'm beginning to think ppl will push this whole Melo is a selfish jealous huge ego player that can't play with Lin and doesn't want to way more than they tried to force the problems with KD and Russ.

People are definitely out to make Melo a villain. Idk what it is but he catches so much unnecessary criticism from fans and the media. When CP3 demanded a trade, everyone was so happy for him for finally being on a team with good pieces. Dwight looked like he was playing basketball in Iraq the first half of the early season and nobody said a word about him impacting the team. Everyone knows he wants out of Orlando, and when he's gone, people will say "Good for him."
When Deron Williams had such a bad attitude his final year in Utah that a HOF coach quit because of him, then got sent to NJ, everyone said "Poor Deron..Going to rot in America's armpit." And even though the Nets have made no improvement at all since he got there, he's still considered an "elite" PG in the NBA.
Yet, Carmelo comes to NYC and he's a villain because he demanded a trade and this that and the third. I'm pretty sure the Jazz have a better record than the Nets since Deron got traded, but you never hear about that. Yet, every other day on ESPN I have to see a bar graph of how many more games the Nuggets have won since Melo came to NY.

Can't wait to see Melo back and with the opportunity to play his own game.
But it really seems like dudes are just trying to find reasons to dislike Melo. Like dude in the previous post .. Melo was chopping it up with everybody on the bench and having a good time the whole game. And of course Melo wants to take the last shot, that doesn't mean he thinks he HAS to take the last shot. A few weeks ago he gave it up to Fields or Bibby, I believe, for an open 3 in crunch time.
Melo will finally be able to play his game and hopefully it's a nice fit.

well my take is this..fans still remember the brawl a few years ago and it was not a good look for melo especially when it happened at the garden. the way it happened, the way it ended,the cheap punch and the back peddling to the bench, it just looked bad.
and knicks fans remember everything
i just think knicks fans are being careful with melo whether to trust him or not. if melo behaves well and plays nicely then all is forgiven. I actually see this as a great opportunity for melo to make up for that incident.

Well, I meant more in terms of opposing teams' fans hating on Carmelo. I'd say the majority of Knicks fans like Melo. LeBron James could punch Spike Lee in the nose and spit in John Starks face and I would completely forget it happened if he signed with the Knicks and helped us win games.
Plus, I've ever forgotten about that Melo punch. In all honesty, I barely even remember what happened.

I snap!!! I forgot about Jared Jefferies being in the middle of that fight. I wonder if Melo and Jared talked it over when he got here last year

Lol they probably talked about it and hugged it out. It's just funny seeing it again because in all honesty, Melo looked like a punk @%%$!. 4 foot tall Nate Robinson had him flinching
. Not to mention, son backpedaled halfway to SoHo after throwing that punch.

I remember that game. The Nuggets were up by 20 or something with about 1:30 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Isiah Thomas was mad at George Karl for not pulling his starters off the court (Camby, JR Smith, Iverson, Melo). George Karl was butthurt about his lovely friend Larry Brown getting mistreated by Zeke and the Knicks front office. Karl wanted to humiliate Zeke. Isiah warned Nuggets players not to score or they will regret it. JR Smith stole the ball and was about to dunk. Mardy Collins grabbed him and threw him into the ground. That was how the Nuggets/Knicks brawl started.
Actually, I was cheering for Zeke that time. George Karl is a dickhead. I never liked him.
