[RAPH]

Damn, wasn't Melo just talking about how he doesn't get any calls too?

That's messed up

 

[DaBull]

Shit, a quick pass to my cuzzo in the paint could've tie this shit up...that was a bad shot Melo took..

How why yall niggas dont understand that rondo held melo hand that pass wouldnt have made it

forum has favorites!!

some players get passes and some get roasted relentlessly.

He's an old school type but flopping is how you get calls these days smh. I kinda wish he didn't say anything because now the refs really going to be fucking with him.

Melo shooting 40% on the season, what the hell is going on with dude? He forget how to shoot?

Melo shooting 40% on the season, what the hell is going on with dude? He forget how to shoot?

• He's never been very efficient
  
• He is the only focus of opposing defenses
  
• He's not getting any younger
  
• And that passion and motivation is slowly leaving ...
  

Fall off this season was somewhat predictable

Wrong on efficiency - 45% from field and 40% from 3 is efficient if you are taking 20 shots per - he's taking too many mid ranges, need him to post up more. Could be right on everything else

That boy Rose took that mask off and started playing better, lets see if he can take that 4th quarter into the next game

He's trash

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

with melo not gettin his calls plus him still working back from missin most of last season, id say thats more of a reason for 40% than him fallin off, he'll get on a good stretch eventually

So far he has been, I'm still holding out hope he gets it together no matter how small that hope is

I agree 100% with the statement above. I do think Melo needs to maybe post up a bit more and run the triangle through him in that respect. The Knicks have some decent players but are a few away from doing any true damage.

I feel they could slide in the playoffs though if Melo gets his shot going but the biggest issue is Fisher finding and keeping the right rotations

True.

He has been efficient - just not "very efficient" ...

a la a Bird, Reggie, Lebron, Ray Allen, Dirk, Ice Man etc

That makes it more difficult to put up numbers or be as impactful once your athleticism fades.

He's definitely taking too many mid ranges ... That's been him his entire career though.

He's just settling more than he used to - most likely because of the aforementioned reasons

Dirk is an alien, he shoots 50% from mid range. Bron is not efficient because of jumpers, he's efficient because he makes like 70% at the rim. Always felt Melo should be 48-50%+ (which he did for a couple years under Karl) but he has bad shooting habits - but a few years he actually finished 4th in PER and the following year top 10 again

@#1hiphopjunki3

He better, shooting 40% is embarrassing. I'm fine with him shooting 20x, but stop win the midranges, mix it up - post, 3s, drives, then some mids.

I mean Durant came off serious foot surgery is back at 50/45/88
