Can we please get out of a single game where someone doesn't have something negative to say about our guy? Got damn man.I'm pretty serious. He made his shots tonight and that's great, but I'd like to see him alter his play still. That's not sustainable. Walking the ball up and shooting contested 3s without anyone else touching the ball. He's not Stephen Curry. I'm not debating that he shouldn't look to score the ball. It's the how that I'm concerned with.
Damn shame the day people act like at his prime Melo wasn't one of the most versatile scorers with a ridiculous arsenal.
Need a gif of Melo crossing that defender and making him fall.
He was in the zone tonight.
Big win.
I would never seriously advocate trading Melo just because you can't get equal value. But, I don't approve of his play, even if he was making his shots. He's not Steph or Klay man lol. He can't do this every night. Taking every damn three, even with a hand in his face, and doing it out of the flow of the offense..

i love what hes doing this season, but dont be fooled folks, he aint the long term answer.

The only real long term answer needs to wait until Melo leaves/retires. For now, just got to make them most of these short term players.
What a douche.Melo said he held that pose an extra second after his last made 3 of the night: "Sometimes 'Stay Me7o' goes out the window."

youre not even a Knicks fan. arent you only here for Rose?
funny thing is, the EXACT same thing you're complaining about Melo, can be said about Rose.
you even mentioned Rose was a decent defender. if shadowing a guy, getting up close on non shooters, and letting his man drive to the hoop is decent, then yeah. Rose was never known for playing defense. being athletic =/= defender. (see Russ ballwatching)
Jennings defense = Rose defense
Melo had to play selfish in the 3rd, because the guards were creating NOTHING.
Melo started to get going after the crossover on Thad Young.
We gonna act like Klay Thompson wasn't cold for weeks to start the season? He was shooting something like 19% from 3. Difference is he plays on a team can sustain cold shooting streaks from their stars. We cannot. But I'll take what Melo has given us without complaint. Some days he has it, some days he doesn't. When he doesn't, other guys need to step up. Some of you have definitely forgotten what it feels like to be a trash team already. You talk as if Melo is holding us back from greatness when in fact he's the pillar we're built on. We just need to keep grinding out wins and things will fall into place. All I want from this year is a playoff spot.
