Pretty much confirms what most of us though. Our offense is best when Melo is on the elbow and he's very efficient when he goes to the rack. If we can get Amare to be more effective on the block, I think we'll be much more efficient. Problem now will be keeping Tyson out of the way but finding something for him to do on offense.

This is a case where the stats don't lie.
Melo drives when he has space to do so. One reason why he doesn't is because Amare is in his space to drive. When Amare went down, Melo did it plenty, even with tyson out there. This is selling the inevitable....Melo needs to be playing more of the 4, and spend a little less time on the floor with Amare. |

Oh the joy of the NBA season. This year will be sporadic.

Rockets get Amare, ny 1st, det 2nd
Pistons get k Martin, m Morris Knicks get Motiejunas, a daye, Villenueva (shumpert)/Kidd/Felton JR smith/brewer Carmelo/Novak Motiejunas or dAye or Villenueva Chandler/Camby/Thomas That roster would get you the best out of Carmelo and would make the Knicks contenders for a long time. The gamble is on Motiejunas developing and on daye filling out into a 4. Both bets I'd rather take than betting on amare and chandler on the court with Carmelo and not being a mess in the paint the whole time |

When Amare was out, that's exactly what he did under Woodson. And nope, he was guarded by threes, and he was guarding threes. Besides to think your best player shouldn't adjust is ridiculous. Even LeBron had to adjust, he didn't win until he implemented a post game...... In other words, he worked with his back to the basket on the low block. Unlike you though, I'm not endorsing trading amare to make this happen. |

You sure are pushing this Montiejunas trade lol |
Re: New stats on Carmelo Anthony, Amar’e Stoudemire could unlock Knicks’ offense
the article is close to useless because it sidesteps the core issue: the core issue for this team remains that anthony and stoudemire have a difficult time playing with one another, let alone for one another. they merely play alongside each other which is a recipe for failure.
if they can't figure that out then we are in for some plug ugly basketball and underachieving. |

as long as melo has the mindset of a tmac or an iverson instead of a pierce, this team will be constant underachiever just like those rockets and denver(ai/melo). Melo is an overhype 2nd option. The time he got out of the first round was when billups put his ass into his ideal role(as a 2nd option). Melo doesnt pass the TS% test to be a first option. Hes efficiency is closer to tmac and iverson and we all know who these losers are. And thats because hes an idiot whod rather play like shaq than play like a true sg. Its the big men who plays like guards rather than guards who play like big men that wins in this league. Thats why shorter players like wade, kobe are more efficient than him.
Thats why its a joke to compare amare and melo. Amare wants to play like a guard thats why hes a constant overachiever throughout his career. Melo is nowhere in amare's league but too bad amare is just too unselfish that hes willing to defer to this loser. Fcuk this guy. get rid of this loser before its too late. This team has the potential to become a championship team if melo decides he wants to be pierce but right now Im seeing a tmac. Thats why he got rid of dantoni, the coach that wants him to be in his ideal role, and lin coz they are a hindrance to melo ball. |

LOL this just shows your lack of knowledge to this game. Do you realize that stretch 4s are generally soft or small because the thinner/smaller you are, the better your shooting stroke is. So you have to sacrifice toughness just to accomodate melo. Sorry but youre not winning any chip with your stupid idea unless you get a dirk(who will turn melo into a 2nd option) as a stretch 4 or you have shaq/duncan as your 5 to compensate for your lack of toughness at the 4. Bargnani/scola aint getting it done. Theres a reason why those guys are inefficient/low impact players. Even kevin love whos considered a superstar is a low impact player because of his low efficiency. Power forward means POWER not soft and they are the ones who wins in this league. Thats why amare has been competing against the elites like duncan, dirk, oneal, etc while your boy melo is competing against fellow losers like carter, mcgrady, iverson with the title of lowest winning % in the playoffs. LOL Only idiots like dolan would build around melo when his history has already shown he cant win in this league. Thats why denver decided to cut costs and just there for entertainment because they already knew melo isnt the guy to build around. |

yeah dolan got played by prokhorov big time. i was reading an article about the nets owner from a couple of years ago. what most people don't realize is that prokhorov could have been a world-class chess player, showing a genius level at the game by age six. dolan has no mind for strategizing-- at all. he's just an egomaniac with a ton of money to throw around that he never earned. yet dolan is a guy born crossing home plate believing he hit a home run. this is dolan's m.o.: dolan got melo and got rid of lin based on emotion and ego. meanwhile prokhorov was born and raised in poverty, and is completely self-made. he has been accused of being unethical in his business dealings which may have helped him accumulate wealth to another order of magnitude in a newly opened post-soviet russia. that said, the man is clearly a genius with a killer instinct, and is nothing if not focussed and disciplined. it is likely the case that prokhorov played the feckless dolan like a violin, duping the crosstown rival, emotion-informed owner into overpaying a non-franchise talent that would mire the knicks in underachieving for years, while he builds his nets into true contenders. those knick fans who stubbornly hold onto the hope that melo will somehow be the linchpin of a championship team need to realize how we got here. the fish rots from the head down. |
