i had to block that asinine fool that is STILL pissed that melo put us back in the game, bc he took shots "out of the offense"? get the **** all the way out of here. i'm blocking any and everyone that continues to talk out of their *****.
TALK THAT **** MY BOYI would never seriously advocate trading Melo just because you can't get equal value. But, I don't approve of his play, even if he was making his shots. He's not Steph or Klay man lol. He can't do this every night. Taking every damn three, even with a hand in his face, and doing it out of the flow of the offense..I'm pretty serious. He made his shots tonight and that's great, but I'd like to see him alter his play still. That's not sustainable. Walking the ball up and shooting contested 3s without anyone else touching the ball. He's not Stephen Curry. I'm not debating that he shouldn't look to score the ball. It's the how that I'm concerned with.
youre not even a Knicks fan. arent you only here for Rose?
funny thing is, the EXACT same thing you're complaining about Melo, can be said about Rose.
you even mentioned Rose was a decent defender. if shadowing a guy, getting up close on non shooters, and letting his man drive to the hoop is decent, then yeah. Rose was never known for playing defense. being athletic =/= defender. (see Russ ballwatching)
Jennings defense = Rose defense
Melo had to play selfish in the 3rd, because the guards were creating NOTHING.
Melo started to get going after the crossover on Thad Young.
Klay and curry Chuck it as soon as they have space. Melo breaks down his defender even when he doesnt have to. Your hate is so strong u dont even reLize ur not making sense. We like Rose but cut the bsI would never seriously advocate trading Melo just because you can't get equal value. But, I don't approve of his play, even if he was making his shots. He's not Steph or Klay man lol. He can't do this every night. Taking every damn three, even with a hand in his face, and doing it out of the flow of the offense..
Lol..
Thank God he was making it though
Shooters are supposed to keep shooting point blnk especially when they got it going right out the gate like Melo did last might. Your still trying ro compare players that really arent comparable which i why i think ur blinded by some hate.I don't hate Melo. That's asinine.
Look, Jennings does this too but I don't say anything when he goes hot and shoots contested 3s because I've seen he can change the approach of his game whether he goes hot or cold.
Melo, on the other hand.. . More often than not, he will shoot again and again, even if he's cold. Ravage said it best. Klay and Steph can keep shooting because their team is built to withstand cold spells. The Knicks are not. They can't play defense.
Again, I'm not saying he shouldn't look to get his. Melo I see as a pure scorer, just like Rose..and that his priority should be to look at his shots. I'm just saying he should be looking to attack in different ways.
When Melo is on, he is on.
I could be wrong but, last night was the first time I've seen Melo, Rose and KP collectively having a great game.
Why hasn't Hornecek tried to run more PnR with Rose/Melo and KP? Something has to be going on for him to not even EXPLORE this option during games. KP is too devastating on the offensive side of the ball. He's already a mismatch for most players in his position. What would he do to smaller guards who switch?
No Knick is above criticism from me, and praise when the deserve it.. I've critized Noer plenty but he played a good game last night...would like to see more games like that from him.
