I'm really tired of the can't win with Carmello shit.
Jordan didn't win till he got a team around him. Pippen, Grant, Rodman, Armstrong, Kerr, Phil Jackson the triangle offense & the refs.
Kobe didn't win until he got a team around him. Shaq, Fisher, Horry, Fox, Phil Jackson the triangle offense & the refs
LeBitch didn't win until he got a team around him. Wade, Bosh, & the refs.

See the trend...a whole team (and the refs). The Knicks don't have that. You cannot continue to put all of it on Melo's back. What the fuck is he supposed to do magic?

BTW..what is Melo's limited skill set that you speak of? I'm very interested to hear this cuz dude can score anywhere on the floor, inside, outside, post, 3's, iso.

Prigioni is nice!

knicks were on their way with building around melo but set themselves back with their off season moves, they upgraded at point with kidd, but that is a short term solution, they sacrified building on their positive momentum and continuity, got older real quick, they will be right back in this position in two-three years

I honestly think this is one of the best set of moves the Knicks could have made. Considering the two teams trying to screw them. They let go tons of dead weight, signed decent vets who can help to very cheap contracts, and did not overspend on non proven players (Lin & Fields). They set themselves up to have alot of money in a couple years.

Bottom line... single star has done it by himself. And he does not have the other pieces around him.

Two years in a row they make the playoffs and get dealt with big injuries. No excuses...just facts.

fortunately, playing defense is a skill set that can be learned, and a superior athlete like melo has the footspeed, quickness, lateral movement and reflexes to learn how to be a great defender just like kobe and lebron who developed into stellar defenders

Mike

I can't point out any individual that he has made better. However, he's made each team he's with better because they went from out of the money to the playoffs. So it's either he's carrying teams ( which peeps won't credit him for ) or he's making his teammates play better as a team.

It's one or the other. Either way, that makes him a superior player

Exactly!

It's amazing how much better Anthony was on defense when Woodson took over . Plus, his scoring average went up.

Mark(MHD), We both know Carmelo Anthoney never learned how to play 'D', At Syracuse during his 1 year there in 2003, My man/LOL, MarkB, Chauncey Billips was the cat who made the Denver Nuggets better(Along with Chauncey Billips making every cat on Denver's crew better too, Including you're man Carmelo Anthoney in 2008,09,10, My man, Also, MarkB, You stated that you're man Carmelo Anthoney has carried every crew that he's been on, Well/LOL, If Carmelo Anthoney was

Carrying the Denver Nuggets for the 9 years that he was down, Why is Denver playing better since Carmelo Anthoney was traded two years ago, My man/LOL,
MarkB, Denver's crew is basically the same cats when Carmelo anthoney was down 2 years ago(With the exception of the cats from the Knicks and Raymond Felton, Other than that, Basically the same crew that played with you're man Carmelo Anthoney, Yet, The Dwenver Nuggets are playing much better since Carmelo

Anthoney was traded doesn't sound like a cat who carried the crew to me, My man/LOL, MarkB, The Denver Nuggets gave the Lakers mad trouble in the first round of this years Western conference Playoffs(Lakers won the series 4 games to 3 with all 7 games being mad tough with a mad young crew too, My man), MarkB, Mike

Woodson playing for Bobby Knight at Indiana during the mid 70's to early 80's, Put Mike Woodson a viable position to be an defensive oriented cat with his, Which has spread out to everybody on the Knicks crew, My man.

Actually, Angola went at the Dream Team '92. They had dirty tactics, but no talent! That's why Barkley went elbows back at them. Angola knew that the only way to go was to go dirty, which would make Dream Team retaliate. Once USA '92 did that, their image is out the door! Didn't work, of course, although Barkley almost helped their cause by calling African countries "spear chuckers".

[Mike Barnes]

Fletch, Charles Barkley should have been crucified for that ignorant comment about the Angola crew in the 1992 Olympics(Yet, Mad cats we're laughin at that nonsense, Because Charles Barkley said it, Now, If ML Carr would have said that nonsense, ML Carr would not have even received his NBA pension after David Stern cancelled ML Carr out of the NBA, My man/LOL.
