If Melo dont take knicks to the playoffs in 2016...

[Real14]

...Then I won't stick up for him no more, my respect level for him will go REAL far down, especially if he have a healthy season and healthy teammates that should make the playoffs. Would you respect him that much ISH if he had all the tools and health to make playoffs but failed to do so again?

I respect Melos ability and that he is a HOF player.

I don't particularly care for him as a player though; don't like his playing style.

As you know Fresh, I'm done sticking up for him. Of course I will root for him if fans of other teams insult him because he plays for the team I root for...but I have no attachment to him. Playoffs or bust this year, as they don't have their pick.

Man keep sticking up for him. As long as you're not putting him over Bran


Seriously though I don't even like Melo and I imagine his laziness is maddening for you guys but there's not a whole lot he could have done with some of the teammates he's played with.

Magic will likely be trying for the 8th seed this year too.

I feel you man. I kept sticking for him because I believed that he was gonna revitalize the knicks as one of the best teams again (happened in 2013 but became worse since then) especially since he's home but I'm tired of Waiting on this guy even tho the knicks front office are the main ones to blame

[TheMarkMadsen]

what does their rotation look like

Mario SWAGjonza that's how.

Best thing he ever did was drain a bunch of threes for the USA team.
