I hate rondo got injured man, this would've been a much better series with him playing

And if Amar'e wasn't injured the outcome would be the same.

 

[awwsome]

Knicks play worse with Amare, they just can't trade him with his injuries + contract

Didn't son get payed 20 mill this year?

So now it's NOT that he shoots too much? You want him to create and rebound like LeBron?

He's not that player, but he has gotten a lot better. If you can't see that, than you just don't wanna see him period.

no...but hell even kobe as old as he is tries to involve other players...and takes what the defense gives him. Im not saying he should be lebron...cause he isnt. What i am saying is...he should look to get the team involved, as oppose to oh im double/triple teamed and really have no choice but to get players involved.

Melo has improved in this area, but when times get rough, he often times revert to denver melo...and in doing so he kinda says hell with defense and kinda has this me against the world mentality, on the offensive side only.

That is why i said i dont think they can beat the heat in a series (especially if the set shot 3's by the wing players dont fall)...the way miami spreads the floor, and play defense, melo wont make moves/plays to get others involve...take it all on his shoulders and basically have a me and jr iso game versus the heat. That and he will just become complacent on the defensive end. And miami will be fine with melo and jr getting 20/30 plus every night with everyone else being spectators.And exposing and abusing them on the defensive end due to exerting all their energy (melo and jr) playing hero ball on the offensive end.

That's what Kidd, Felton, Prigioni and Woodson are for. That's the way Melo played last year, because we had to start Mike Bibby and Landry Fields, but he does look for other players. And he gets hockey assists. And when people keep saying "revert back to old Melo," they mean take any shot that isn't a layup or a wide open 3. That's what scorers do, and a lot of the time, that's what it takes for this Knick team to win. No one really expects the Knicks to beat Miami, and guess what...if those 3s stop falling, like everyone has said every minute of this year, then it won't be a surprise what happens next. People only pay attention when Melo has the ball in his hands, but ignore the rest. Especially his defense. And he is taking what the defense gives him, that's why half of Boston is in foul trouble. It's just easy to point out this...his worst shooting game of the series.

Actually you're wrong. STAT off the bench with JR make the Knicks that much better given he's the legit low post threat.

And if Amar'e wasn't injured the outcome would be the same.

I'm just saying the celtics would've been more competitive. While I want them to get swept, I don't like to see teams play poor/get blown out this time of the year.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Melo no more jumpers dude

 

[mez 0ne]

Actually you're wrong. STAT off the bench with JR make the Knicks that much better given he's the legit low post threat.

what goos are Amare's points if he allows the same or more points from the opposition.

It's a different league today, you don't need a low post scoring threat.

Melo looked upset as hell after that last miss

 

[Peep Game]

I thought terrence williams would've been better than this in the L

Same here, but he's never had a fair chance to get consistent playing time. Of course, he's never really taken the initiative to seize any opportunities either.

celtics miss Rondo more than the knicks do amare. its not even close

 

[kingkoopa]

Melo choked up!

 

[lazy]

[Bert.]

[mronegative]

somewhere Vince Carter cracked a smile.

i dont ignore it..and i stated he has improved much from his older days...i just feel because it has yet to be seen...that when **** gets to grass (meaning a playoff game of magnitude) melo wont go to his old ways out of sheer fustration, need to prove a point or whatever the reason maybe. Its the same as i thought about lebron and his post game, and his willingness to fall back on dwayne in big games last year. It was unknown untill the playoffs and ultimately the finals.

I am not gonna say melo cant/unable to do so. its just it hasnt been seen yet. If he plays in most part how he has majority of the season in a heat series and loses. Then simply pu he just lost to a better team. but if they lose due to frustration, pressure, him needing to prove a point...etc, and just play hero ball and makes it all about him, then thats a different story.

[memphisboi55]

Melo smh

 

[bigmike23]

Jr smith agent better send this game tape out when asking for a new contract

 

[tommyicerocking]

Michael Jordan got married, and black women are mad it's not a black women 

 

[markangelo]

ahhhhhhh, gotta love this game... Pierce with dagger? 

 

[drewsone]

Melo...

 

[dipsetgeneral]

KGiggy

 

[mez 0ne]

Melo is settling, wanted no parts of driving to the hoop. Fatigue or not have to make those.

 

[Peep Game]

Pierce has to win this with a 3, cause i feel like it's a loss in OT

 

[proshares]

Melo smh

You have to think this man is smart enough to know they made big runs without him, he's 9/31, stop with the forces and trust someone to make a shot.
