Carmelo 1 point(0-7), Knicks win by 33

hmm
discuss

Amare>Melo

Bobcats

What's to discuss? Did you even watch the game or did you just read the box score?

He wasn't looking to shoot early and since NY got a big lead he just never tried to score because it was never necessary. He still rebounded and had some great passes (while only getting 4 assists there were at least 4 great passes that lead to fouls).

Shit, he's killing my fantasy team.

stats don't matter. he was moving the ball and he played like he had teammates.

This is how he needs to play. He's an explosive scorer that needs to learn how to score within the rhythm of the offense. The Knicks can improve even more if he gets a better handle on how to use his scoring talent effectively.

He was doing other things. Finding other players, rebounding and shit, yea that's right, shit. He's on a major shooting slump. If we can play like this and win with him playing like this, anythings possible. Tyson + Amare combo is great.

Looking at the boxscore alone would lead a person to believe melo scoring less would mean a better chance of winning for the knicks. But the win has probably more to do with overall team defense, a more efficient bench production, Amare getting more involved with the offense and most importantly their opponent being the bobcats. I think those factors are more important than the discrepancy involving melo's lack of production and their manner of winning.

Having said that, i think melo should try to play the same way next game and see how it'll turn out.

This is the last time this will ever happen.

LOLcats aren't on our schedule anymore.:lol

I cant believe Melo's now become self-conscious about his "shooting" due to the media pressure. He needs to look for his shot, he cant be worried about people calling him a "chucker" or "black hole". Hes our best scorer and we need him to score. Kobe's took the same approach and he doesnt give a ****. Melo needs to do the same.

Crapmelo stunk tonight :oldlol: See what happens when he shoots less, they play together as a team. Crapmelo is better of lying on the floor making snow angels :roll:

Well we play Cleveland so that should be another easy win.

Just as long as he gets back to himself by the Heat game.

Terrible attempt at a nickname.

After beating one of the worst teams in the league Knicks fan believe Tyson Chandler has proved his worth :roll:

Amar'e has to be the first option offensively. The pick and roll (even in the limited caliber the guards can manage right now) with Amar'e is just too effective. You get him going to the basket and dunking or getting fouled, then he starts hitting his jumper. He wasn't forcing anything and he was playing within the flow of the offense. [I]And[/I] he was coexisting nicely with Tyson Chandler (who was monstrous). Melo-ball is an offense killer, plain and simple.

The Knicks desperately need a point guard.

Glad you removed that trade.

I was ready to reach through the screen and slap you.:lol
