Carmelo Anthony or Amare Stoudemire the f*** is the Knicks Problem?

[bigrizz]

The knocks need a pass first defensive PG and they will be fine. Melo needs to stop thinking basketball is all about isolation plays. I think they need phil jackson to tame those egos, but their players don't suit the triple post....

 

[rakim ii]

Injuries and coaching*D'ANTONI* isthe blame

 

[DaBull]

a floor general PG is all they need

 

[dc's teflondon]

they need an offense that is suited to there team and a fucking real leader

 

[evoljeanyes]

What kind of offense could they possibly run with this squad? How is Melo not a leader? Bc he has only been out of round 1 once? Chris Paul has only been out of the first round once also of I am not mistaken and he is all of a sudden better than Deron Williams who has been to the west finals twice (with bums)

Do you think Shump can be a pass first defensive guy? Or do they need a trade? Tyson Chandler is a leader

i think they should run the triangle..sad to say it; but melo is not a leader, he does not invoke a lot of confidence in his teammates

I think he gives Steve Novak and Jr Smith tremendous confidence...what does LeBron do to give players on his team confidence? What does Chris Paul do? What does D Wade do? What does Durant do to give players confidence?

for one they drive in the lane to get their guys open shots... unlike Melo who is always iso! he has been creating for others as of late tho

 

[rage]

LOL at all the pleas being copped for Melo...different coach, different system, different PG...how about Melo learn how to pass the fucking ball. He and Jr Smith combined for 200 shots for the series...the rest of the team 121. Let that shit marinate.

They were not trying to do anything offensively. Thats what you have to realize. That team is depending on Novak for threes (miami eliminated him) Jr was the only other player creating offense. None of those guys move without the ball. Thats not Melo's fault

 

[Melanin_Enriched]

Melo >>>>amare

Amare had a MVP type season lastnyear before he got hurt and Melo arrived.... u cant take that away from him.... I say NY this year ball with a asian pg and role players playing defense and sharing..... I saw Melo refuse to comply with his coach and didnt play defense or move without the ball... I saw Melo finally decide to play hard when everyone else got hurt and he was allowed by the new coach to chuck when he felt like it... but None of its his fault and Amare should be traded and they should hire Phil Jackson.... smh and gtfoh

Nigga stop acting like this isnt anthemic of Melo's overall game....its been this way his whole career. He's a chucker...George Costanza ass nigga...every once in a while they'll go in on a consistent basis and he'll score 40 points (of 35 shots) and people will spin that into hyperbole. Why do you think he was consistently getting bounced in the first round by the 1 seed? Cuz his teams barely scrape into the playoffs. Only reason the Knicks weren't a seven seed this year is because he was injured and Lin was able to show out a little.

 

[Beta]

My nigga the answer is so simple. Its not carmelo or Amar'e thats the problem.

Its because they play on the knicks..

 

[txboi_09]

So that was melo yesterday dribbling the ball at the top of the key for the first like 18 seconds on the shot clock? Could of sworn that was JR, and Toney Douglas. then with 6 seconds they give the ball to Melo and everyone just stands there. All they got is three point shooters they can't do anything else other than shoot threes. Novak, JR, Bibby, shit even fields all they do is stand behind the three point line thats their game. I saw plenty of times this year where Melo hit the open man when they cut or made a move to the basket.

 

[WhoisDonG???]

Nigga Denver going to Game 7 why Melo at home looking stupid

 

[(ob)Scene]

Amare had a MVP type season lastnyear before he got hurt and Melo arrived.... u cant take that away from him....

All while the team was still playing .500 ball doing the same exact shit they were doing post Melo trade last year & pre D'Antoni firing this year.

Sick of people acting like the Knicks were a 1-3 seed last year before the Melo trade. Only thing that changed was instead of it being Stat going off it became Melo going off; which I prefer the latter anyway since Stat's fragile ass can't stay healthy for shit.

People have no problem when the Lakers become iso-Kobe; but at least Kobe's teammates actually move around the court when the ball isn't in their hands. We'll see what NYK's do next season with a full training camp lead by a competent coach.
