  2. But he's not doing it. Therein lies the problem. 101st of 111 qualified shooters in the NBA will never be alright with me. It shouldn't be alright with you. If he's in this stretch and battling injuries.. again, go do your kegels and sit in the tub. Get healthy. Get to a point where you aren't a complete negative for your teammates and fans. If you're going to play, you're saying you're alright to go out there and perform. Played college baseball, high school basketball. Why not? I'm not saying Carmelo Anthony is a horrendous basketball player, I'm saying that he's playing horrendous basketball. The moment he stops playing horrendous basketball I have no problems. It will be a great day. It was a 12 point loss. Cavs game (similarly not that close) was a 10 point loss. Facts. Sarcasm.
  3. In positive Knicks news, Toney Douglas' $2+M option was picked up for next season
  4. Really? Score 92 against the 15-3 Thunder and lose by 12 without Melo, or score 81 against the 7-10 Cavaliers and lose by 10 with Melo. You choose.
  5. I never once denied that he was hurt. But, if he's hurt to he point where he's the most ineffective player on the court and he's making our team dramatically worse, he needs to sit. If he's not, he needs to make shots. If you're going to play, play at a high level. If not, hit the [expletive]ing tub and do some kegel exercises. You're killing us. Melo's hustle is something that's always been questioned, and it hasn't changed since he joined the New York Knickerbockers. 7 was fine. 14 was not. Open shots were fine, contested leaners were not. He was a team worst -13 last night. The guy we're relying on for a large majority of our offensive has been our least productive player. I'm not sure how to make you realize that that is our biggest issue.. but.. it is. You saw him making some passes, and I saw him taking contested, fadeaway jumpers that led to long rebounds and odd number breaks the other way. I guess we're looking for different things.. I also had the game turned off after the 3rd because I couldn't stomach what I was watching. On the topic of "they weren't making shots either".. the other guys you're listing are scrubs. They were signed on veteran minimum contracts. The other guys aren't supposed to perform in the way that Carmelo Anthony is. We gave up all of our talent and a max contract for him. He is held to a higher standard than Toney [expletive]ing Douglas. Like I said.. a Heat loss off a LeBron James 6-20 shooting performance is on him, not Eddie House. Especially if he's un-Bron and doesn't play defense, hustle, or do any of his other superior intangibles.
  6. These are really awesome.. I suggest them to anyone who wants a nice bass and decently loud system for ~$40. Logitech Z313.
  7. Melo hate? I'm not hating.. I'm being objective. I'm merely not going to be an apologist. I'm calling a spade a spade. Deferred 'ALOT'? He had the 2nd most shots on the team at 36% made. Deferring a lot is taking the 2nd most shots on the team? Look, our entire team was blown up for the guy because he's a prolific scorer who was supposed to carry this team. Is he free of criticism when he's at 39% FG for the season? He was brought in here for a reason. We gave up 3 (arguably 4) starters for him. Shouldn't we expect him to provide a little more to the team than he is? He is 101st of 111 qualified players in the entire NBA in FG% and taking by far the most FG per game of any of the players below him. He plays no defense. He doesn't hustle. So why does he get a pass? What does he do well right now that he should be free of any criticism on the court? He's the least efficient player on our team taking the most shots and relied upon for the majority of our scoring.. and he's NOT our main issue? Come on dude. Stop apologizing for the guy. The guy is supposed to be a top offensive player in the NBA, alongside the likes of Durant/Dirk/Bron/Wade/Kobe/etc etc etc etc etc etc. He hasn't been. Past 4 games, STAT is shooting 49% (26-53). Push it to the past 6, he's at 45% (37-82). Landry Fields over the past 5 is sitting at a blistering 56% (29-52). The other three you listed.. a 21 year old rookie guard whose forte was never offense and two complete scrubs. These are the guys you're putting more stock into than Carmelo Anthony? (FWIW, Bill Walker is shooting at a higher clip than Melo.. LOL). If LeBron James ever shot 6-20 every game for a month, there is a 0% chance that people would say "yeah, well he's not the main problem.. Eddie House hasn't been doing very much." It'd be inexcusable, as it is here.
  8. You have got to be kidding me. There is a bigger issue than the superstar we traded our roster for taking 20 shots a game and making them at a 39% rate? Simply cannot agree with you.
  9. Andddddd our franchise player is shooting 39%/31%. Fantastic.
  10. I hope the Lakers win by 50 and Corey Maggette retires
  11. Sounds a lot like me, just with less Toney Douglas bashing
  12. I'm loving that Landry is getting comfortable again. Looked real good the last 5+ games.
  13. That said, Melo did exactly what he should've. Had he felt it on those 7, he earns more. He was off, so he contributed in other ways. Perfect night. Draw and dish.
