Bucks 100, Knicks 86: "I'd rather eat a cactus than watch these Knicks."

PrintThe above comment from Chocolate_milk is on the money. This is pretty difficult to watch. You sit in front of your TV for two and a half hours while the Knicks switch wildly and leave shooters open and that sadistic little imp Brandon Jennings runs amok for a season-high in points and the Bucks-- a team that was 0-8 on the road-- get easy buckets off turnovers and second chances and Carmelo Anthony flings isolation jumpers at the back of the rim and Amar'e Stoudemire strides directly into the chest of a help defender and Knicks throw passes off each other's necks and so many open looks get squandered that the ball stops moving entirely and the team goes eight-plus minutes without hitting a field goal and the crowd gets ornery and guys commit petty, retaliative fouls and half the internet celebrates the Knicks' demise while the other half thinks they can solve it by firing one guy or trading another and...
...really, eating a cactus starts to seem like a better option (and I'm assuming Chocolate_milk meant a raw, spiny one, not some tasty nopales). It's just as rough going down, but the pain doesn't last for quite as long. A few minutes of chewing, some esophageal bleeding, and you're all set to go do other things with your Friday night. And at no point does the cactus briefly morph into a delicious sandwich and give you pause, only to revert to its cactaceous form, only with longer, sharper spines, the foul stench of decay, and zero ball movement.
Eating a cactus > watching the Knicks right now. No doubt in my mind.

Every game I tell myself it can't get any worse and every game the Knicks prove me wrong
So I’m going to try something different: It can and will get much worse
I’m also not going to be doing a JJ Shot Tracker tonight. It doesn’t seem fair to single out Jeffries when the entire team it playing like crap.

I dont know if anyone cares, but...
The knicks starters threw up 56 shots. out of those 56 shots, melo took 26. The whole starting 5 went 23/56 for the evening.
6 of 24 from guards including Bully whether he played guard or not (still just a shooter)
Many of them open looks. As much as I hate ISo’s and wanna shred Amar’e and Melo (and they did plenty negative to go with any positives), how do you spread the floor when you can’t trust your team mates to make a damn shot?
I just want them to forfeit their games for awhile and go practice offense and defense until they are ready
or at least stop caring about whether they win every game and just go out there and try to execute a god damn plan.
I didn’t get to watch much tonight, lucky me, but if they are going to constantly switch on D then go to a zone defense so Tyson can lock down the interior. On offense, MDA needs to tell guys where to be with actual offensive sets, instead of this improv as we go, give it to Melo when we are losing shit.
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
if they just practice it might be more entertaining than watching the actual games
hustle and hustle with muscle
of course
MDA’s trying to play actual offensive sets. It’s an insult to MDA to say that he’t not giving his players actual plays. And no one knows if that’s really the like anything MDA draws up in the end…..it’s not like we would know because Melo doesn’t make these damn shots anyway.
Point is, they don’t trust each other so they’re doing these switches and it leads to holes, giving other teams open shots. I think out of all the defensive aspects, stopping the switches would be the easiest and the most effective and slowing offensive plays.

I agree
The Knicks are running offensive sets, but whatever rhythm and movement there is in some parts of the game (and there is), it dies when Melo calls for isos.
I think there are some situations and matchups where the switching is OK… but there is no doubt that they’re going overboard. This is not a team full of interchangeable 6’6-6’10 swingmen. In particular, they’re wasting Chandler’s talents by having him out of the paint so much.
if they are than they break down quickly
or the players don’t stick to the plan and he needs to try something new

they have a great future
and Khan appears normal after all. He has a good coach with young talent and things will only get better. Oh, and they have better record than us. Not only are they playing better, but they have a better record. We couldn’t beat them last year with our old team and we definitely can’t beat them now. we better hope we can beat the wizards, bobcats and even the nets now.
Baron Davis = Fools gold
Melo Is the issue. He’s like a magic trick…the ball goes to him and is never seen again by any of his teammates. The only time he passes is when he dribbles into a dead end for himself.

Its not overreacting to think that 1 of these guys

actually if Donnie had been more aware
we would have gotten Deron and not have to unload the house for him. We would have lost less players for Deron and he would be a better fit with our team from last year and coach MDA system. We probably could have kept Moz as well.
I don't think Donnie could have really done anything about it
He was against the Melo trade, but Dolan forced him to push it through at all costs
That whole family is just as stupid as it gets
Silverspoon stupidity at its finest.
absolutely, and that's why phil jacksom or any coach wouldnt help
Number 7 got here because of Dolan and no coach can be a coach because he will get fired.
Phil Jackson don't take shit from no-body
Does Phil Jackson have to smack a bitch up? He would leave his rings on
No, Utah was waiting until a Melo deal went through to trade D-Will
They wanted it to be as low-key as possible and they were going to whomever lost the Melo fiasco. Donnie has said he tried calling Utah about Deron and they said he wasn’t available.

Carmelo has not looked good with the Knicks.
Not the short time he played with the Knicks last year and not this year either. Of course he had a solid Nuggets team that included Camby, KMart, Iverson/Billups, Nene, Andre Miller and J.R. Smith, but his performance has been lackluster

I can't say I saw this exactly
But I knew we didn’t need Melo, that he alone wouldn’t bring us a championship and we would suffer greatly from trading what we did. I never bothered to take the negative possibilities this far down the road, but here we are
The only who believed we needed Melo
are the same that see D’antoni as the roots of all evil. I didn’t see coming anything like this either, but I felt that that trade wasn’t right…and I miss last year’s team ’cause we could call that a team.

thats what the optimists don’t see. It’s not so much they losing some games but look at how they are playing. Even the teams with less wins than us are still playing more beautiful and they try hard. Will the real superstars please stand up? These clowns ain’t doing it, and I can’t remember a single quarter where the two clowns played well together. I am not talking about the occasional lobs or assists but consistently. I don’t see it anymore and it’s clear the two just don’t fit because both have low IQs and will try to take matters in their own hands when not necessary.
Little tidbit, curtosy of Isola:
The Denver Nuggets, including the playoffs, are 30-16 since the Carmelo trade. The Knicks, including playoffs, are 20-26.

I think the pre-Melo team with the addition of Chandler (Tyson)
Shump and Jorts could have very well grown into a team that could beat the Heat. This post Melo team has no chance in hell of beating the Heat unless Melo has a miraculous “George Foreman-esque” meeting with his maker and somehow becomes coachable and open to playing in a system where his is but one option and not the alpha and omega of the offense and he learns to share damn it. To share!

Stop blaming Melo.
If you were as skilled as Melo and your teammates were consistently missing their shots and showing no heart you’d try to put the team on your back too. Blame D’Antoni for not having his players do what they’re supposed to. Blame him also for not having the balls to bench people (looking at you A’mare).

okay, okay
but the only melo defense i’ll take right now is why is he playing on all his injuries. he shouldn’t be, and won’t get any better and could deteriorate further if he continues to. and even that is partly on him, as he could grow the balls to decide to sit
Thank you....
Everybody blames Melo for everything but the real problem is if Melo doesn’t score, nobody scores. Amare has been awful, fields is just barely picking things up in the last 2 games but has been lackluster as well, Shmpert barely scores, Tyson is amazing on defense but can’t score unless he’s within 3 feet of the basket. . I mean we need points to win and nobody is getting them.
thats what they said
about Denver when Melo was there. Actually, everybody on denver now scores and I mean everybody. Wouldnt surprise me if G Karl came off the bench and pumped in a 3.
very true.
he’s in a tough spot. coaching should play the ball away from melo as much as possible until we learn offense. and basketball.
did you read of the disparity in records?
are you serious?
The Nugs are very very good, the Knicks are very bad
What’s the argument?
Oh and Andre Miller, Brewer (both rotation players) and 3 draft picks come by way of that trade
Get real. Knicks were raped
I've already disproven the Knicks were raped theory
The trade was even for both teams and each performed the same before and after the trades last season. Denver just was able to make better moves in the offseason and has a far superior system.
Denver was better right after the trade, not for what they did this off season!
Get serious, get your head out of the sand, dont be Dolans sock puppet.
Go ahead and love the Knicks, root for the Knicks, but please dont lose your mind, its not worth it.
ah, erniesto
meaning to ask you, how do I join the Carmelo Anthony fan club?
Gotta be honest here, I don't see us turning it around this season.
It’s all on Baron now. I give us a less than 50/50 chance of turning it around. There’s something wrong on this team, it may be the coaching, it may be the players, I don’t know but something is horribly wrong in that locker room.
What I do know is that I’d rather have a team that wants to be out there playing their hearts out wanting to succeed and failing, than a team like the one we have now where NO ONE is showing any fucking heart.
Henrik Lundqvist said it best on 24/7, “New Yorkers are passionate about their teams because everyone in this city works hard for success and they expect the same out of their teams, that’s why I play hard…” (Not a direct quote but you get what I’m saying). This team has none of that. I’m disappointed and the team looks like they don’t care their fans are disappointed, and that’s what’s so sad, no pride.
In Donnie we trust.

"They are not playing with heart," is such tiresome old cliche..I mean you might as well say that the coach's "Xs and O" aren't working and there "heads aren't screwed right." Seriously.
When a team is losing, its because its not playing well. Sometimes its nothing more than what is seen. I know. Radical concept.
Wow.
You’re so right dude. Because when I saw the Knicks last night I saw a team playing hard as hell and playing with unity and enthusiasm, a real joy to watch. They weren’t frustrated with each other, they weren’t trying to win by themselves no, they just had a few bad breaks and we can just attribute that to a bad night against one of the worst teams right?
….Right? Oh….wait, actually no I was watching the exact OPPOSITE of that. They played with NO unity, NO cohesion, NO enthusiasm, NO effort, NO pride and to me (and the rest of the planet) that means they’re not playing with heart. Call it a cliche’ all you want, but that’s the truth. It’s the reason we’re losing to worse teams than ourselves.

They were winning also and then they were all traded away to save money for lebron, who had no intention to come here, and I don’t blame him.

I still say D'Antoni was the problem last year (along with mgmt and owner)
but this year has gotten more complicated
Dolan blew up the team but ...
with Isaiah whispering the instructions in his ear. It is a total disaster. I admit that the team we were all cheering before the trade last year was not yet ready to be a championship contender but ….. think about if we had been able to keep it intact and then perhaps get Tyson Chandler this year. One of the weaknesses last year (pre-trade) was that Amare was having to play center much of the time and it finally starting wearing on his body. If we had kept that team, been able to get Chandler and drafted Shumpert as a shooting guard (his natural position), we still may not be an elite team but ….. I guarantee we would have been one big step closer to becoming one. The Melo trade has Isaiah’s fingerprints all over it …… giving up way too much for a one-dimensional scorer (just like he did with Marbury) who never won a championship nor is fully committed to a team concept of play.
I'm not following this logic
A huge part of the problem is that having Chandler on the team is hurting STAT’s offense. The team would have been dealing with the same thing, only with a PG.

for the longest time saying anything close to that and you would get attacked by 30 different people saying the pre-melo team had reached its “ceiling” before the trade. Well is it possible that the very young team was tired heading into the All-Star break like a lot of other teams? Is it possible that with another year of individual development for our very young players + playing together another year we would have been building something special with players we actually drafted/developed? I mean Mozgov is starting for the Nuggets this year. Fuck.
Hell yeah!
Mozgov (my main mother fucker) took us for 16pts 7reb 6 of 11 shooting with 3 blocks tonight. Gallo had 37 and 11reb. Youth is huge in this league. No patience in this town.
exactly. Is he sane?
This is the clown who forced the trade and didn’t wanna leave them "empty handed.’ do you remember that? and they were making fun of him after he was traded because the Nuggets were winning while he was struggling with the Cavs and Bucks. If he had played it smart instead and put Denver in a position where they take whatever they get or he walks, then we would still have most our players. He forced the trade and we had to gut the roster because of this one player who only cared about location for his wife and money, of course.

You guys assume a lot in this need to hate.
Of a guy who basically has coasted through life on his talent. He’s not some business genius or mogul. He’s just a basketball player.
There was a re-telling of the story by
Masai and some reporters on how he and Melo came to arrangement and it was basically “you help us out and we will help you get to the team you want”. It was in response to question about the Nets. It was an acknowledgement of the fact that he was never going to go the Nets. Melo was playing along with the Nets so they could squeeze us. It pisses me off because Melo literally went to Dolan during all-star weekend and told him “you need to give up more pieces or I’m going to NJ”. If hes not in the very least manipulative disingenuous jerk, how come he knew exactly which idiot in our organization he needed to target with his stupid fake-ass ultimatum?
Dude, it was the GM who was re-telling the story during a Denver broadcast
like a week after the trade, and I am pretty sure something very similar was said during the press conference in Denver after the trade as well. I watched a lot of Denver games after that trade and I still do.

I have still not committed to buying LeaguePass
like I did last year. I think I will wait a while and see if BD and the boys can turn things around. I have not actually seen many games this year for which I am thankful. It’s much less painful hanging around here getting my pain delivered filtered and second hand, with a couple of laughs thrown in.

Don’t spend a cent on that unless you interested in watching the other teams but even then you giving money to dolan because they all benefit. Don’t spend a cent on these clowns. I’m boycotting them and have blurred the two clowns out my world just as dolan pretends like his critics don’t exist. I won’t ever mention their names again. I will just say dude with glasses or the other clown from denver. They don’t deserve to wear those jerseys and should never be mentioned in same sentence with ewing and other legends.

sounds nice but keep in mind that the dude with glasses cant play with centers
I’m not gonna mention his name anymore but you know who I’m talking about. He needs the whole court for himself to be effective so I guess he might as well play by himself along with nash passing the ball. It would seem nice if we had tyson with the team before the trade but it wouldn’t work because we have a trash who can’t play with centers. I guess he likes to score 20 to 25 but also give up 120 on the other end. The only kind of center her could play with are the kind who can shoot from far but then where is the defense coming from? Is he gonna make up for it?

the dude with glasses plays well with a point guard
That same dude would not even need to be all that great because the team around him would be deep, young, big, fast, exuberant. MY Knicks would be flying!
The dude you are indirectly defending by putting down the better dude doesnt need a point guard because he plays a one on one game within a team sport. Unwatchable.

i have washed my hands and im done
I don’t care if they win tomorrow or not. This team is garbage and I’m done. I seriously hate this team and those two clowns(not worthy of mentioning their names). This is what it has come down to after 20 years. And then some had the nerves to compare that clown with glasses to patrick ewing because he had few good games last season at first. Not 8 games or 82 but try 15 years of hard work, lots of heart and great defense. This dude worried about making money off the court and reading Noah’s arc right now and is washed up. He is not a superstar but only appears that way when with an elite pg. The other clown also just wanted money and location more than anything and neither one of them are winners nor have the right mentality.
I say this is the worst knicks team ever and the reason its so hard is because those teams of the past decade were expected to suck but this is suppose to be the revision and the big payoff after years of losing and then losing intentionally because we were waiting for 2010 and here it is.
One thing I will not do is blame Mda for this. He is the most innocent of this and I feel sympathy for him that he came here and ruined his record but at least he getting paid for it. We have to make excuses for all these teams but it’s funny that Mda came here and the team he had started off winning right away. No excuses, no “bad shoulders” or “time” but they were playing well as soon as the new coach got here. We may have had bad contracts but we had a deep squad, young talent and they were playing nice. They were more fun to watch in that small time period and they would have made the playoffs and that’s all we got out of the “big 3” and that’s done. One playoff appearance and then a decline. There is something wrong here and I don’t believe even pat riley or phil could fix this because the two clowns don’t play good together.
I’m trying to remember just one good quarter where they have played great together; just one but can’t remember. I will not waste my time nor make excuses. My patience has reached its limit and I’m done. After 20 years, this is what it came down to and I wanna go to sleep and wake up when this nightmare is over. The 90s are long gone and this team can never please me like those warriors did. If they win tomorrowa, I don’t care and it will take a miracle for them to change my mood because winning one is not gonna do it. Have been let down too many times and I will say we are the worst team in th league now. Even teams with less wins than us are still better because they at least play nice basketball. This is boring and depressing.
I am throwing in the towel and I guess will just root for whatever team is playing against miami. I wish baron didn’t come here nor tyson because I really like those guys but the other two clowns are dead to me just as I am dead from within. I will just blur them out just as dolan blurs out the critics.

i dont have season tickets
i have league pass but it’s no longer for the knicks. I can just watch basketball when im not working. If i had Spike Lee money and had season tickets, you could have them.
Or ridiculous?
“One good quarter” together? They had a few good wins together last year, in fact they had more problems against bad teams than good last year after Melo arrived. They beat Miami, but they also had an actual point guard that night. They should be much better than this, even without a true point, but I would wait until Baron starts playing before washing your hands of them.
Proud owner of over 20,000 comments. (most of them in the wrong place) Oh yeah, and Buster Posey
we also had a diff team last year
we beat Miami because we had Chauncey who brought us back with his pull-up three pointers in the first half and then hit a big 3 pointer toward the end, and got a big steal. You just brought back good memories of that game against Miami. Of course I am talking out of anger so I can’t really give up when I am an addict but I hope you feel my frustration with this team and him.
Ha!
MDA has a losing record with the Knicks, before Melo and after Melo. In fact, if you look at it, the Knicks are playing pretty on pace to match past seasons. I’m not sure why people think Melo changed things, because the record has pretty much been the same.

I know it’s frustration involved but it would take a miracle for this team to change my mood. I get a strange vibe from them and it’s almost like it’s not the knicks. I been a knicks fan since I was 12 years old(20 years now) and got my nickname “knicks” when I was 13 years old. I went to school with all those bandwagon bulls fans and had to put up with all those lames but I did it because those are the kind who jump from team to team every few years. I am just done with this team for the time being and who knows what will happen.

Wow
Its time for Dolan to show up on Phil Jackson’s doorstep with a sack full of cash and a briefcase full of peyote.
This team is going to suck suck suck until someone lights a fire under their ass and makes some offensive changes. Baron Davis or not.
MDA
For everyone blaming the Melo trade:
With the team that got traded away the Knicks were just 28-27. Basically nothing changed with the Melo trade, the numbers don’t lie. It was an even swap. Stop lying to yourselves and admit that this team is performing as typical as the Knicks have always has been under D’antoni — just with different problems. D’antoni is just a losing coach with the Knicks, and you can see other players playing better post trade than they were on the Knicks.
There is an Italian cancer on the bench.
That team reached offensive heights this team can only dream of.
This team has never come close to that level of pure basketball.
Not really.
That offensive cohesion was a harbinger of better things to come. This team shows no signs of hope.
Um ok?
A loss is a loss, and the Knicks lost just as many games as they won pre and post Melo, to shitty teams nonetheless. The run up to Melo was filled with losses.
First of all, that's not true
Their record was better pre-Melo. 28-26 pre-trade, 20-27 post-trade. But secondly, that team worked through early struggles, found cohesion, then started to slip a bit and went through a rough shooting patch, but still was showing plenty of signs of hope. There was a system in place, there was proper spacing, guys knew their roles, and we had a bunch of different weapons. Amare, Gallo, Wil, and Felton were all scoring, and Landry was chipping in as well. If someone was having a bad night, someone else could step up. It was nothing like we’re seeing this season, where the team is showing literally nothing. It’s still early and I still think this team can turn it around. But they have a long, long way to go before they reach the level of basketball the pre-Melo team was playing. I think they can get there, but I don’t think we should expect to see it anytime in the next 15-20 games.

Again, a Loss is a Loss and D'antoni has installed a losing system.
Now you’re just jacking with stats. You can’t compare this season’s team with melo to last season’s team with Melo. Last season’s Melo team was just as good (or bad) as the team was before Melo Billups was still on the team last season. This team right now is minus a starting position.
You can be optimistic all you want, but last seasons Knicks were streaky, this season’s Knicks will be streaky (but only if Baron Davis is healthy: otherwise hello bottom half of the league!!.), at least under D’antoni.
YOU'RE the one who brought up wins and losses.
Don’t get upset when you’re wrong about them. How is stating the records “jacking with stats” anyway?
You’re missing the big picture. Yeah, the Knicks post-trade last season had a similar record to the team before the trade. The point is that the pre-trade team was cohering. There was progress and development. There was a system that made sense with the players on the team, and everyone was producing. The Knicks have only moved backwards since the trade. If you think turning it around is as easy as installing another coach to deal with this mess, you’re entitled to your opinion, but I have no interest in engaging it.
No, you're missing the big picture
A loss is a loss and that team was capable of being just as shitty record wise as this team. Records make you a playoff team.
The system is at best mediocre without an all time great PG. Yeah its nice to fantasize about home grown talent, but it was an even swap. Billups and Melo at least. I’ll agree the Billups situation was handled piss poorly.
im having a hard time with this
“A loss is a loss” is your lead argument… are you sure you’re this confident about that? is a 70-point blowout the same as a triple-OT game that was lost on a blatant bad call by refs? Is a complete no-show the same as a well-fought battle? dude seriously, what are you on about (excuse the phrase, I’ve been watching British comedies)?
i agree with you that MDA is garbage, but come on
Also
Gallo, Felton and Chandler all played better on the Nuggets than they did on the Knicks.
What’s your point again? Why are you defending D’antoni. Yes his roster has no passing PG and he has a short bench, but the he hasn’t proven anything with the Knicks — ever.
Gallo, Felton, and Chandler all played well with the Nuggets
But not really any better or worse in those 30 games. Gallo is playing better now, but that’s to be expected of any developing young player with talent.
D’Antoni is far from perfect. There are some specific things I think he can be doing better. I’m worried that he’s not far from losing control. But fixing the Knicks isn’t as easy as firing him.
That team won 13 of 14 games
Right around the stretch we’re in now (different months because of the lockout, but similar number of games into the season). And they won those games by beating easy opponents, like this team should be doing.
Likewise, even when that team lost, it still seemed like they cared. And they were always more fun to watch

NO THEY DID NOT!
They just didnt have Carmelo. Thats where the improvement came from.
reply to point that exKnicks played better on Nugs
It is simply not true
Yur making stuff up
Nice revisionist history there
Around the time of the trade, Felton had crashed back down to earth, the offense was sputtering and fans were clamoring for Melo. That team also started 3-8, but yeah, now of course we only remember the winning streak and Amare’s 30 pt streak.
TYBG
that team was developing
individual players had room for growth, like Gallo has done this year
This team is imploding.
If you want to believe this Knicks team is better off, fine, but its based on faith not facts. God be with you.
Trade talk really affected that team
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
I love these Nuggets!
What’you talkin’ about Willis!
Are you serious about that crunch time need superstar myth? Nugs have won a few of those close games with different players taking role of hero.
I do have Knick fans who are friends and I do feel bad for them, and I’m not joking.
BTW If I wasnt a Nug fan, there are lots of terrific, young athletic teams that are a treat to watch. Philly, Minny, Clips, Thunder, Pacers and then, there are the Knicks
Nugs have won a few of those close games with different players taking role of hero.
Except this one: http://espn.go.com/nba/recap/_/id/310427025/denver-nuggets-vs-oklahoma-city-thunder
God bless the Thunder.
You will never see daylight.
Clippers-Nuggets:

dont work so hard
Its a big world out there
I didnt disagree?
I stopped looking at that pigeon scrawl 3 lines down
The nuggets are greater than the sum of their parts
not disagreeing in full, but don’t sleep on them. And can’t undervalue their coach
BBB, I could care less about your opinions but
honestly you’re embarrassing Knick fans. Now stop it, will ya?
I know facts are painful.
Last year all the Nuggets did was talk smack about how much better they were w/o Melo and then BAM BAM BAM BAM the getting-better-every-year Thunder take a baseball bat and bludgeon you to death in 5 games. Why? Nuggets couldnt make any shots in tight stretches late in the game? Gee, I wonder who could have helped.
Now you have to deal with the CLIPPERS. Oh yeah, I love this team. Exciting as a mothefucker, great ball movement, well-executed defensive rotations just like Nuggets. Except they have Griffin and Cp3, too unbelievably dynamic players the Nuggets will never ever come close to possessing. You will never beat this team. They are so much better than you. And thank God for that.
you are a Knick fan
stop with the other teams. Your team is the Knicks, the 6 – 10 Knicks
come on BBB
get over the loss, it wasnt that bad, you should be used to it by now
6 – 10, 20 – 28 since trade (including playoffs)
But dont worry, Melo is an expert at getting into playoffs and knocked out in the 1st round
made shots in tuff stretches yesterday,
remember?

Denver will be the bottom, just the absolute worst.
I think I might rip my eyes out watching that game… Then it’s our chance to turn it around on the road trip, just like last year. I’m still believin’ but D’Antoni is really testing my faith. Get a grip pringles – you best pray Baron is your miracle…
here's the thing
Nuggets have nothing to lose. Even if the Knicks kill Denver in NY (betya Knicks shoot 2x as many FTs as Nugs in Madison not-soSquare Garden tonite), big deal – Denver is currently 30 – 16 in all games that count since trade, Knicks are 20 – 27
Game, set, match, drive home safely folks.
I've seen you post on Denver Stiffs shitting on the Knicks and how you're so glad you're not a fan of the team anymore.
So you just came here to gloat about a winning % or…..?
I dream of Eddie Curry feeding me fish sticks.
Look at it Dave. Look at it.
maybe a little
but willing to change my tune if Knicks get good and exciting
Is that fair?
And, no, I’m not glad I’m not a fan anymore but, if I wanted to, I couldnt root for a team I dont like and I dont really care what jerseys they wear. But that’s me.
Look, I’m interested in the Knicks to at least look on with some feelings. More than I could say for my interest in, say, the Nets.
Honestly, truthfully, I’m more disappointed in Knick fans in this whole scenario than I am in one dopey owner.
Long story but I’ve rooted for our championship teams, Clyde, Reed, the amazing Bernard King (comparing him to Melo made me vomit), the under-rated, under appreciated Ewing and then was left with Marbury. Things were finally looking up and – boom – we got Marbury Part II. Could you see my position?
also Gax
my posts arent really harsher than lots of knick fans. Lots of fans seem to think Melo stinks. I dont. I think he’s average.
yes average
45% shooting = league average
1.25 points per shot taken < avg
Melo is an avg player that shoots a lot
The Nuggets will never even come close to coming close to getting to the Finals.
Arrivederci mi’amore!
Yes I can see your position. I've seen your position through all the posts at Stiffs and the "Oh ho-ho-ho sorry suckers I'm a Denver fan now!" posts you've made here
I can appreciate that you’re a long-time fan that was fed up with the direction we went in with the Melo trade, but it’s hard for me to respect that you so willingly align yourself with the Nuggets at their site and are incredibly anti-Knick there…and then come here and be all “I will be back when we are exciting guys. And also good.”
I don’t know man. I can’t understand how you can survive the last 10 years and THAT was the straw that broke your back and made you hate the team..until they’re good again. Like, what? I’m not some Grand Arbiter of Fanhood or anything so you’re free to be a fan of whoever and post wherever, but I original replied to your post because it was irritating to see you come here just to gloat.
I dream of Eddie Curry feeding me fish sticks.
Look at it Dave. Look at it.
be clear, I'm not really anti-Knick
I’m anti-dolan, and yes, just like I was when he was on Denver, I’m anti Melo as a player.
That he is on my home town team is galling to me. That he was received like a long list prince is also galling. That he is classed with the game’s greats might be a grand joke played on me.
And I frankly thought that the old Knicks were shit on too
But dont argue with me on this. There seem to be lots of Knick who’ll give you a debate on all the points I’m making.
Me? I’m willing to change my mind. example. I thought Harrington was an atrocious, high volume chucker. Changed my mind.
I thought Mozgov would develop quickly and dramatically. I think I’m wrong here.

While I don't disagree with the Melo hate here, I think we're all kind of ignoring how bad Amare is playing while earning $20 million/year
He’s 34th in PER for all power forwards at this point. Small sample of PFs with higher PERs: Al Harrington, David Lee, and Anthony Randolph. When he’s not playing well offensively, he provides nothing of value to the team. It sucks and it’s only going to get worse as he gets older.
I realize PER isn’t the end all, be all of rating players, but it is good a reference point. Douglas, Fields, Walker and Bibby all have PERs under 10. That’s really bad.
Team has up and quit
Amare is no different. Get them some motivation and Amare will be rocking again.
how about $20mil as motivation
oh wait, that’s right, we pay our players no matter what, for years to come. I think a lot of disappointing players would play a lot better if they had to perform to earn our two dwarf stars included. Also, Amar’e is supposed to be our motivator. this is the worst defense i’ve heard
Look at the bright side
At least we have “SUPERSTARS” for trade so we might build something good. All this Melo, Stat & Chandler thing is just not working and thats it, don’t blame MDA, its not his fault. And also, dont expect miracles with BD, he cant play 48 mins per game, he cant improve our shitty bench with Jeffries, TD, Bibby, Balkman etc etc and he cant convince Melo to play team basketball… he cant make Stat to play some D…. And sure he cant improve Chandler’s handicaped offense….
So basically you're saying a coach can't coach?...
But its not his fault.
Im saying
even Phil Jackson would suck with this roster assembled very very badly, with “big 3” with more cons than pro’s, lack of D, handicaped O and selfish characters….
Nah
Jackson would at least get this team, PG or not to the playoffs.
Why
in the world a retired almost legendary coach would come to this hell hole? Dolan is the biggest obstacle to winning in this city, he’s smart enough to understand that and he can’t be bought with money.

well i dunno who's funny here
your potential olympiads an perennial all-star are booed on constant basis every night… they are 6-9 with teams like Bucks, Bobcats and Grizzlies.. You are happy with them? Or when BD gets back…. bla bla :D If your superstars need BD to tell them how to play and beat the Bucks and Bobcats, well, its ok.
About Chandler
As much as he gives 100% and fights for every ball, he might be the problem for Amar’e coz he is simply handicaped in the offense, he doesnt make open space in the middle for Amar’e and thats why there are always 2 defenders on Amar’e coz they know Chandler is not dangerous from the post and he is stuck bellow the rim for rebounding. If we had a center that can actualy shoot from the post he can take his defender out of the paint and make room for Amare’s 1 on 1 where he is unstopable.
Is that really true?
Last year STAT was running into just as many double teams. Teams would stack the middle. The difference this year is that he no longer has someone constantly keeping n eye on him, ready for that roll to the basket and able to deliver him the ball. So he has to force shots just so the shot clock doesn’t run out.
by superturboultra on Jan 21, 2012 12:19 PM EST up reply actions
He's also getting the same looks at jumpers he got last year, right?
Just not making those either for whatever reason.
Last year...
..Stat was the man in the middle, now he is not, thats the difference. And Chandler was perfect fit with Dirk and that Dallas team with offensive beasts like Kidd, Marion and J.Terry, they never needed Chandler to score, all he had to do is wait and rebound, and defend. Dirk is very different PF to Stat. Here its all about Melo and sometimes Stat, the other 3 of 5 on the court simply dont deliver, Fields, Toney, Chandler or whoever is out there.
The problems with the Knicks are
Melo’s iso’s where the ball stops and everyone stands and watches, and you have two bench players starting. D’antoni knows that his system does’nt work without an effective PG to run it, but curiously during his tenure here the Knicks have drafted forwards until last year when they took Shump. A PG should have been taken first when D’antoni got here.
on point mrLuck
Problem with Melo is not really his stats. 25 ppg is high, but career 45%FG is only avg.
The problem is that Melo suppresses the talents of others. Its hard to play on a team where one guy holds the ball, dribble, dribble, dribble, yawn, yawn.
Even in the schoolyard, if one guy held the ball everybody else just kind of snoozed. It happens in the park, in the rec center, in CEO board rooms and it happens on NBA floors
Scoring
You guys realize we’ve only gone over 100 points 4 times this season? And of those 4 games, we won 3 of them… The defense has been pretty good this season believe it or not. Fix the ball stoppage and start running 7 seconds or less again and maybe we could actually win some games.

I can't believe Melo said this!!
“You can’t compare our team to Denver’s team,” Anthony said. “They got five starters from that trade. Denver’s a hell of a team. They’re one of the deeper teams in the NBA right now. We just want to go out and win (Saturday). It’s not about Denver. It’s much more about us.”
Gee Melo, who’s freaking fault was that??
Simply amazes me that in his mind apparently, our lack of depth has nothing to do with him. Someone needs to hold up a mirror right in front of his face and say, "now Melo, recall last year?? The year your could have waited until free agency and then joined us and we would be stacked and deep?? Remember?? Huh?? Then smash the freaking mirror over the dumbass’s head and hope he wakes the f up !!
