Max money for only 7 shots! C'mon Melo... b more aggressive!
Sorry guys, I just couldn't resist posting this headline. I don't really have anything to post... other than... a little better.
I would like to point out one thing that I noticed that I think could become vital to future winning... and that's Melo's appreciation for and recognition of Landry's off the ball cutting. If Melo can be, and stay ready to hit Landry on all his baseline cuts, this could lead to a lot of easy buckets, a 3rd scorer... and overall better on the court chemistry. When the ball moves, everyone's efficiency goes up, as does their investment in staying in motion and playing hard on both sides.
In addition, while I'll continue to not hold my breath that Melo and Stat can thrive together, the one thought that continues to cross my mind is that the ONLY place where veteran ego/all-stars like Melo and Amare can possibly morph into noticeably different players from their first portions of their careers... IS RIGHT HERE IN NYC.
The media scrutiny PLUS the fan basketball savvy and unwillingness to cheer for bad basketball provides so much pressure that it would be near impossible to not hear the valuable feedback/criticism necessary for evolution. It would take an absurdly enormous douchebag to refuse to break bad habits (ahem, cough cough... stephon) amidst the spotlight of broadway and the back pages of the worlds shittiest newspapers. Now having said this... assuming trades don't happen... let's see the goods guys, 'cause if we don't, your legacies are screwed FOREVER!

I was ready to tear you a new one for that title alone
I like what you said about NYC being THE place for guys to change. It makes me feel like maybe we have some offset for our unlucky/terrible management, and that our media pressure isn’t all bad!
Reminds me of the stat ESPN kept mentioning about Kobe two years ago
09-10 Lakers record when Kobe took 30+ shots: 3-5
09-10 Lakers record when Kobe took 20 or fewer shots: 26-6

Loving It!
If Melo and STAT each can take no more than 15 shots a game and move the ball around like they did last night I think the Knicks will turn this ship around really fast. Landry and Toney are both starting to turn it around and it seems like someone has been working with Jared cause no way would Pringles allow him to take a couple of 3’s if they hadnt been. Overall great game to watch and a great morning after. Keep up the good work.
Tyson Chandler
is our number one option

"Giants rely on fumbles and stripping the ball. If the pats secure the ball, then the pats win, but if they fumble or let the ball get striped than the giants win. every game the giants play they always benefit from the other teams bonehead mistakes (fumbled or striped) not from thier skills. The giants are a dirty team, I can’t think of any othe team as dirty as the giants. They try to strip the ball as hard as they can because they know they can’t win a fair game." by EaglesNeedD on Jan 23, 2012 2:01 AM EST
