@carmeloanthony Goodnight. I'm out.
thisNumbers don't mean everything, Paul George can impact a game in more ways than Melo. End of Discussion.
when you are being compared to Lebron you best get yourself to the Finals with anyone.Seriously? Lol. What about that roster screams NBA finals to you? As a matter of fact, let's back up. Melo clogs the lane? Really? You have no clue what you're talking about.
Tyson Chandler, Kidd, JR Smith...team looks like a 2011 Mavs...but I forgot, Melo isn't better than Dirk.
that was when they drafted Iman instead of his homebust Josh Selby huh?
Melo needs to get another coach fired?ehhh mike woodson isn't exactly rick carlisle either
then why hasn't his game translated into winning basketball?Now dudes are blaming it on melos ego when he was the one that wanted to come play with amare and wanted the front office to bring in another scoring option, acting like this late in his career melo is only worried about stats smh
He's not in the class of Lebron or Dirk. A tier or two below. Only a small handful of players can get teams like that to win a finals. Lebron and dirk included. Still, thats not a knock on him. Those guys are consensus top 30, with Bron creeping in the top 10. When its all said and done, he'll be looked at as a hall of famer and a good player. Not every HOFer is LeBron and Dirk. I think you and I can agree he is a good player.when you are being compared to Lebron you best get yourself to the Finals with anyone.

Yes he clogs the lane, he get the ball low post, always looks to score.
very well, but not great. He has skills and I think Melo has the best scoring mechanics, but that doesn't mean he is the best scorer in the NBA. Dispute the fact Lebron isn't a better jumpshooter than Melo, he is a better scorer than Melo.
No he hasn't changed at all.
Yes, it's championship or die, especially wit the antics he pulled to get himself to play for the Knicks...smh. Amare is good and can play, but it's the fact Melo is pretty hard to play with when he clogs up the lane every time he has the ball. And like I said before, he isn't a playmaker. Lebron James can do that because he can see plays and make plays for his teammates, 9 times out of 10 Melo is going to shoot or pass it out, so the player can kick it back to him...smh.
Tell me how this cast of teammates can't get you to the NBA Finals?
Chandler
Amare
JR Smith
Novak
Felton
Iman
Kidd

Can't fault fans for believing in their team. But let the record reflect I had the Heat repeating from the outset of the seasonSeriously? Lol. What about that roster screams NBA finals to you? As a matter of fact, let's back up. Melo clogs the lane? Really? You have no clue what you're talking about.No he hasn't changed at all.He didn't change his game last season? News to me.
and if you define failure by not winning a championship, then sure he is a failure along with a lot of other great players. His 2nd best scoring option has been JR since he's been in NY, it was supposed to be Amare and he is made of glass.
It takes 5 on the court and great coaching to win.
Nobody does.

have ya been in knicks thread or other sites? a majority believe they were really gonna knock off the heat. reg season success
You just admitted you hate the player. That alone limits your objectivity. You say George is good and elite at things like passing and rebounding, when melo puts up virtually the same numbers in those categories. Like you said numbers arent everything, but he still has a huge impact on the game, moreso than GeorgeMelo hate maybe
Paul George homerism, hell no.
Paul George isn't even my favorite player in the league right now lol (Jamal Crawford). But I know overrated when I see it, and Melo is that.
Elite scorer yes. But he is average or below average in every other category.
Takes a team to win
Dirk's always been a winner in the playoffs, even when he was taking crap. Melo's clearly never been at the level of prime Dirk.\Oh but one last thing. So good to see people embracing one of my favorite players Dirk. But so funny remember how much hate he used to get on here before winning that chip. Ya'll are too wishy washy. If Melo wins a chip with the Knicks or Lakers or whoever there won't be enough room on his balls left for LaLa.
what are your guys' early prediction on ECF, WCF, and Finals? ECF- MIA vs. CHI WCF- OKC vs. SAS Finals- MIA vs. OKC MIA in 7 games

Because a bunch of you guys overrate him, thinking he is on the level of KD or Bron. He is TOP 10 at best, but I would have around 11-18 tbh. Just because he is a very good scorer, doesn't make him a great as many claim.why do you keep comparing Melo to the greatest basketball player in the league today?
and stop being blinded by the names. Kidd didn't even score a single point in the playoffs, Novak won't shoot even if Mugsy Bogues closed out on him which is why he was traded, and Amare just came back from injury and was on a 15 minute limit vs the Pacers (and does not play defense). Tyson was completely ineffective and JR didn't have a good game since the Terry incident and needed off-season surgery....
How are all of those circumstance's Melo's fault? Because he doesn't pass like Lebron does? You want Melo to guard Hibbert and David West? Because the Knicks lost the series due to rebounding/2nd chance points...a weakness of the Knicks that was exposed over and over again.
Pacers are a very good team, Knicks weren't good enough that series.
Bunch of Skip Bayless's on NT
and his game/style isn't winning basketball.Takes a team to win
