Why is Melo getting a pass for not leading his team to the playoff in the EAST? EAST!

[imnew09]

Weak a$$ East man, and still fails to lead his team to the playoff so many times :facepalm

"SuperStar" doe... Even D.Rose led his Bulls to the playoff during his ROOKIE YEAR.

[Sarcastic]

1 awful roster/coach
2 he doesn't

[nathanjizzle]

breh, how the hell you gonna be compared to rose and look like such a scrub. meloser.

[outbreak]

Thought it was established that melo wasn't a carry a team guy these days? Plus the east is tougher this year. There's only like 3 actual super stars in this league and Melo ain't one of them. He needs help just like nearly every other guy in that not stuper star but star level.

[ShawkFactory]

The 8 seed in the east has a better record than the 8 in the west.

[smoovegittar]

Dear OP ~

STFU.

That is all.

[Hey Yo]

Since coming to the NYK, they've made the playoffs 3x and missed last 2 seasons. He was hurt most of last season.

Yea and how many teams in the East are title contender? :facepalm

Who gives a shit? That has literally no relevance.

East is WEAK. Like the #1 seed Hawks last season got SWEPT lol

[imdaman99]

Who gives him a pass? Knick fans are his toughest critics

[ShawkFactory]

The 8 seed in the east has a better record than the 8 in the west. This is a FACT.

The 8 seed is generally important when discussing making the playoffs or not.

Knicks are 0-7 when he doesn't play this season

[MellowYellow]

Just 1 month ago Knicks were .500 and on the verge of getting a playoff spot and then Melo missed a couple games and they lost to the freakin nets. All downhill from there. Team is just not very good and Fish is a terrible coach.

The team is 0-7 without Melo and they go from being a +1.3 team with him on the floor (per 100 possessions) to a -7.3 with him on the bench. Porzingis is the only other Knick with a positive point differential this season (they're a +1.1 team with KP on the court)

For a forward thats really fken bad

[Lebronxrings]

he is what he is at this point which is a fringe top 30 player. Nobody really expects much from him so you can't really blame him. Only fault on him is how unclutch he is in the last 2 minutes where he can't score at all.

Those numbers are pretty close when you consider everyone thinks Kobe is WAY better. Especially when you see how much better supporting cast/coaching Kobe has had throughout his career.

[He Strong]

He is getting a pass? I think it is more that everybody gave up on him so they no longer expect him to be a superstar. It is like people no longer trying to compare Deron Williams to Chris Paul.

[Legends66NBA7]

So who do the Knicks make it over this season ?

I mean, loaded frontcourt and all, still a tough climb.

Atlanta
Boston
Cleveland
Charlotte
Chicago
Detroit
Indiana
Miami
Toronto
Washington

And New York has been losing a lot lately at the point where what is point of making the playoffs at this stage ?

Take out the first 3 seasons where he was expected to carry a team as a 19-22 year old and it goes up to 27 7 3 on 43%

Well we don't have any picks.. so might as well try

:biggums:

Melo's not on the super star level but he's definitely higher than "fringe top 30". There's only a very small number of guys in this league who can legit carry a bad team and there's no shame in Melo not being one of those guys but he's still a star level guy and is still one of the better players.

[Legends66NBA7]

Oh right... Forgot they don't have pick this year or next either.

Probably have to reload in the offseason. Can't see them make it when they changed coaches.

[Hey Yo]

Weak a$$ East man, and still fails to lead his team to the playoff so many times :facepalm

"SuperStar" doe... Even D.Rose led his Bulls to the playoff during his ROOKIE YEAR.

First rounders ?

Thought they didn't have any but might have misread.

You said "his team"..... meaning Melo

Not my fault you made yourself look dumb.......again

[sd3035]

Nobody really cares about Marshmelo that's why

It's his team now and he's failing to make it to the playoff.


English, do you fken speak it mother fker :facepalm

[FKAri]

Because a 20 year old who was picked 4th in the draft based strictly off of potential is his team's 2nd best player.

[NewYorkNoPicks]

His knee is still banged up despite the surgery from last season, hes sat out a decent number of games this season due to tendonitis. Hes 31 and hurt. Possibility for a strong bounce back season next year though with rest and rehab during the summer. If he can get his knee right he will age gracefully like Paul Pierce did and be an effective player for several more seasons.

[Hey Yo]

what you said below:

went 3x with getting to 2nd round once >>>>> 2x missed which includes last year when he was hurt.

your thread = FAIL

last season his team was well under the playoff seed so he decided to take the surgery :facepalm

yeah they had the 3rd ranked offense because of dpoy Tyson..... :biggums: not to mention they went on a 13 game winning streak which propelled them to the 2nd seed almost entirely with Tyson Chandler injured, then in the playoffs he had a stiff neck and played like trash. Let Roy Hibbert go off on him.
