the only person to blame for Knicks problems is Carmelo Anthony

[STATUTORY]

Iman Shumpert yelled at Melo today for his complete lackadasical defense on Anderson on one play

Woodson proceeded to bench Iman for the rest of the game

That's the knicks is a nutshell, it's Melo/JR/CAA's little sandbox.

Can't have a real coach that would hold them responsible, need a yes man like Woodson.

Can't allocate minutes based on meritocracy, needs to placate Melo's boy JR's fragile ego.

Can't give ridiculous contract to guy like Lin but need to give 2 roster spots and $20 million in total for JR's service

Can't worry about winning because we need to worry about resigning melo

Can't take time to rebuild through draft but somehow it's acceptable to be putrid for more than a decade and waste money/picks on losers like Melo

good thing they traded a first round pick for bargs

[OldSkoolball#52]

It is NOT melo's fault dude.


This is MIKE D'ANTONI'S FAULT he has absolutely no idea how to coach, he doesn't even.. - wait, he's not there any more?

Oh.


This is MIKE WOODSONS FAULT he has absolutely no idea how to coach, he doesn't even use the right players he stinks and he makes them lose its not melo's fault.

[Teanett]

Why does Melo make you so mad though?

[Human Error]

The problem is not Carmelo. He has always been and he will always be who he is, a highly ineffective volume scorer who will give you a great scoring night on only every 3 or 4 games. The problem is his fans who keep putting him in the same category as Lebron, Durant, Chris Paul etc in terms of his talent and ability when he is more of Rudy Gay / Monta Ellis. If you expect Carmelo to perform at the highest level on a regular basis and take a team deep into the playoffs you will be kept being let down and you cannot blame no one but you until you realize he is just not that good in reality.

Knicks were not this bad last season. Somehow Dolan managed to **** up their roster even further in the span of three months like only he knows how to.

so why dont the coach sit his ass down instead of shumpert?

[Noyze]

For some reason watching the Knicks lose is entertaining right? Look...

We said the Knicks werent gonna be good this season
We said last year was a fluke
We said Melo wasn't a superstar
We said Mike Woodson wasn't a good coach
We said "Don't give 100 mil to Amare"
We said Dolan was an idiot

Everyone said this except you delusional fans in New York. You're worst then LA fans, you think you're suppose to win, that throwing money at the situation means victories. This is your bad decision making, your so called superstar, and your reality.

you're not contributing to the conversation so fukk off

Seriously, I get that Melo has to score and he's the best scorer. But sometimes I still cringe. When he gets the ball and looks at the basket, I know no way in hell that ball goes to anyone else's hands. The team will never win this way. Especially in the games where Bargnani gets hot and wide open but ignored.

[Teanett]

bargs took 1 shot in the 4th quarter... great coaching!

[Human Error]

Because Carmelo Anthony despite of his flaws is still a better basketball player than Iman Shumpert, dumba$$.

[retaxis]

Nah its not Melo's fault. Melo is good for the regular season. There is no team identity to fall back on thats the problem. Without an identity a team can not compete for a championship. Identity takes years to build just look at Miami (1st year no identity = loss). You can also take examples of Lakers 2012 (no identity = swept and Nets with no identity either)
