Melo last 4 games without Lin & Amare

[airchibundo507]

Knicks 3-1

27 ppg, 7.5 rpg, 2 spg, 1 bpg, 48% FG, 85% FT in 33 MPG (great defense as well)

That's playing with an injured groin against good teams like the Magic, Bucks and Hawks.

KG does way more on the court than Melo does, though. So he had much more value when he came to Boston.

Garnett can score, rebound, play make, and be the defensive juggernaut as well. Can't say the same for Melo... out of the only thing he can be argued for... which is scoring.

Yes, I understand what type of career he's had. Good/Great player with nice stats, but it's just not translated into team success.

Which is why he's getting dogged out for it.

Janitor = underachiever. Has talents, doesn't use 'em

Melo = underachiever. Has talents, doesn't use 'em.

He's not a superstar. He's a talented guy who peaked in college and thus far hasn't shown anything that indicates he'll get over the hump and lead New York to a 'ship.

No one says Melo is a better player than KG. But the thing he hasn't lead his team to the Finals isn't something to kill his career.
If you're a top3 player then you must prove it and go to the Finals. Melo was never considered that good.
He's a very good player who had a successful career. Career average of 25 points,led his team to playoffs every single year (even in his rookie season he transformed the worst team in the league to a playoff team).

Nobody here says Melo is a top3 player in the league or whatsoever.
But to call him a scrub,cancer or things like that is either stupid or trolling.

Anthony has all the talent in the world, and he has all the tools necessary to be a top-flight player in the NBA. He is a ridiculously gifted talent, and part of the reason he hasn't been more successful is because he's just lazy. He doesn't play defense, set a good example, or show any type of leadership.

It won't kill his career, because there have been MVP's who haven't taken their teams to the Finals.

But still, Melo and the Knicks should be motivated enough to get there, because they do have the talent, scoring, defense, etc... to surprise anybody in the playoffs.


But to call him a scrub,cancer or things like that is either stupid or trolling.

Yes, off course. I'm not one of those people. He has to be more consistent from April, come playoff time, etc...

[knickswin]

this is how good melo is when you let him play his game. melo plays like a traditional big man. you have to have him post up early and look to get him the ball and have players score off of his kick outs. he gets a lot of hockey assists playing like this, too.

it's frustrating that karl and d'antoni never let him play properly. karl made him an accessory to the point guards. d'antoni tried to fit him into his system either as a point guard or as a spot-up shooting wing.

lin and melo can eventually coexist if lin can become a bit less of a black hole and get better at hitting melo in his spots. i really question whether amar'e fits into this plan because he does nothing toward spacing the floor.

[The Ownage]

You are a Melo stan. Don't deny it. It's not a diss, your favourite player is Melo and you follow as he follows.


He is the one who made it personal. I told him those stats were MVP-worthy.
With sarcasm of course. I just noticed your post above mine and you make a good point. He's been playing very good defense under Mike Woodson we just need to see if he can keep it up until rest of the season and playoffs.

[bagelred]

Knicks 3-1

27 ppg, 7.5 rpg, 2 spg, 1 bpg, 48% FG, 85% FT in 33 MPG (great defense as well)

Anyway...I'm not a Melo fan, I support him simply because he is a Knick. The overwhelming amount of hate this dude gets is ridiculous...you woulda thought he raped somebody or something...

And to those questioning his defense, clearly they aren't referring to this year

[knickswin]

knicks really need to find a way to dump amar'e.

melo and tyson don't struggle to coexist and tyson is extremely important as a defensive anchor, so tyson's a keeper.

but you add amar'e to the mix, and it's a mess. amar'e is an elbow player, and it's impossible for him and anthony to feed off each other or space the floor for each other. things are so much prettier when we have novak out there because he spaces the floor and is low maintenance.

i dream about getting a stretch four with a second option type offensive game. it would be so pretty. pretty much the only guys who fit that bill are andrea bargnani and dirk, though (dirk is obviously good enough to be first option too). guys like kevin love or ryan anderson who can shoot the three even if they can't put the ball on the floor at the perimeter would be okay too.

MDA brainwashed Lin into domineering pick and roll play. While Lin does defer to Melo at times, the general feel when Lin is on the court is that he is the first option, and he is bold enough to even wave away Melo with an obvious mismatch in the post. It's almost as if Melo becomes relegated to a court-spacer and bailout shot taker when the pnr fails. That's not what he is comfortable doing. That's not what he has done his whole career. It's hard for him to develop any sort of rhythm with erratic touches.

As we've seen since Lin/Amare went down, the Knicks run the offense inside/out through Melo, who doesn't hesitate to make the open pass when he draws the double teams. Pick-and-roll is the secondary option.

I think Lin and Melo can play together for the record. But Amare takes away from the spacing on the court. There's just a ton of personalities to cater to.

there's no better word for it. MDA's "system" gives full freedom with impunity to a point guard, who can call as many screens as desired, take shots at whatever point in the shotclock, basically anything they want with the ball. There is an adjustment phase between running that freelance gimmick of a system and transitioning to a dynamic, multifaceted offense.

Exactly. As a Pacers fan, I still give credit to Melo for almost blowing us out. Thank God Granger went a little Reggie on them or I don't see it turning around.

Oh he also missed the playoffs. Bynum or gasol is as impactful as kobe. Kobe before 2008 is a first round exit. Thanks to bynum for being the most improved player that year.

or maybe he wasnt lucky to played in a crap east. Among the perimeter players(tmac, kobe, carter, pierce, lebron, wade, melo) only kobe and melo played in the west. Luckily kobe had a great frontcourt throughout his career while melo had undersized one way big men which are injury prones.

I agree with some of this. Melo's a gifted scorer. He's a more talented scorer than Lebron and Wade but he lacks the athleticism, hard work, and intangibles that those players possess. Coming into the league he was marketed with them. All 3 were put on the same level. They eventually surpassed him so people hate on him for being put on that level.

Dude ain't clutch. Stop that nonsense.
Check out Kobe if you wanna see clutchness.
Last two games he's been money. :bowdown: :bowdown:

Rofl, kobetard comes out of woods in a hurry. Thats so comical,:roll: :roll: :roll:

remove either gasol/bynum/oneal on the lakers and kobe aint winning one ring. Kobe just got lucky to be with the lakers who knows how to build a team. Kobe without a big man is a first round exit. Oh he also missed the playoffs. Bynum or gasol is as impactful as kobe. Kobe before 2008 is a first round exit. Thanks to bynum for being the most improved player that year.

remove pippen from the bulls and jordan isnt winning either

dumb argument

After hearing garbage like "Melo is a role player", "Melo is in his decline", "Melo is now a sub40% scorer", etc he's having a great stretch when he is the only real consistent scoring threat on the roster.

The Knicks are winning games and they aren't playing lottery teams every night.

i hear u man.im a big melo fan.butwe have seen this before from him for years now.he will have a slump then play five to six games in a row where he looks like jesus with a fade and a headband.all i ask from melo is more consistency like lebron.learn how to impact a game on th enights when your jumper isnt hot.like rebounding,defense,assisting.if he would improve on that he would be a great team player.and only great team players win championships

duh pippen is easily replaceable dumbass. Pippen just got overrated playing with jordan

well this clutch argument are for idiots. Duncan, kareem, hakeem, shaq arent clutch players but they won. Its about efficient scoring. Luckily kobe had efficient scorers to bail him out in gasol/bynum/odom. Thats why he cant win with role players like duncan/dirk/hakeem and shaq with 6th man kobe. Kobe with role players = first round or lottery.
