Carmelo has no weaknesses

[RRR3]

Discuss.

He is no longer a black hole. Sometimes he is, depends on the situation.
The double teams come and he works the ball out and generates easy shots for his teammates. Not as much as he should though

His defense is stellar. No it's okay but not stellar
He guards twos, threes and fours, in the post, on the perimeter. Solid in rotation. Closes out on shooters. Puts a lot of effort into boxing out. You realize you're talking about Carmelo Anthony, not LeBron James, right?

He is the most versatile scoring force in the league.Nah, Kobe or Dirk are.
Whether running him off screens, giving him the ball in the post, or him running point forward and using the pick and roll to abuse opposing defenses. Post game. he has a great post game I'll give you that. Probably best for SF's.
Mid-range game. Not this year, and others have better mid-range games.
Three-point shooter. He's not a great 3PT shooter, never has been except for a stretch last season.
Penetration. Meh
He can make any shot, ESPECIALLY when the game is on the line. I'll give you that, probably best player in the NBA at last second shots

There are no holes in Melo's game and this is evident to anybody who watches him. Bullshit

His defense is stellar. He guards twos, threes and fours, in the post, on the perimeter.

He can guards 2s like Kyle Korver and undersized 4s like David West. And you are making it sound as if he is a Lebron and can guard 2s like Wade, Kobe, Manu and 4s like Gasol, Love etc.

By no means his defense is stellar. He is versatile offensively but let's not get carried away and put him in the same level as of Lebron/Durant!

Hopefully, next time Melo decides to be a lazy defender, he looks back to these last 7-8 games. He can be an above average defender when he's trying like he has been since Woodson has taken over.

Absolutely no reason he can't keep this up on D. It's not like they're asking him to be Bruce Bowen.

That's the most frustrating thing with Carmelo Anthony. The "When he's trying...." thing. Just put the effort in on D, put the effort in to move the ball, put the effort in on the glass...

Now he's putting that effort in....and you're seeing the difference.

Of course it helps when he's draining 30 footers at the buzzer.

[Nick Young]

you knicks fans are pieces of shit. all year long you've done nothing but trash this man, then your god lin goes down and suddenly Carmelo is perfect and has no weaknesses.

You are trash fans who treat your stars like shit, you dont deserve to have such a strong roster.

Consistency is his problem. That's a big one though. I don't know if he can do this for more than a half a season. I'd still call this the honeymoon stage for the Woodson Knicks... times are good, they haven't lost on their home court yet.

I'm gonna wait until things start settling down in NY before making my mind up about that team..

I'm a knick fan and love Melo in beast mode. I think you can say that when he's in the mood there are very few players, if any, you'd rather have on your team, especially in the clutch. But it has to be said that he has too glaring weaknesses:
1. Inconsistent defence
2. When things aren't going his way he quits and sulks

If he had no weaknesses he wouldn't have been so terrible before D'Antoni was fired. Tyson Chandler didn't sulk through that period he stood up and kept fighting.

yeah like when he is down 10 points with only three minutes left in the game

or when both Billups and Amare are injured in the postseason and he is surrounded by scrubs playing an elite team in their house

I've supported Carmelo since he came into the league. 9 games from a Dleaguer doesn't change sht

It helPs that Lin and amare were out

[TheBluest]

It helPs that Lin and amare were out

Knick fans told us that in order for the franchise to succeed they needed 2 MAX CATS to dethrone or trump the colluded trios

Now it appears Lin/Amar'e/Melo can only get jiggy with it if they aren't on the floor at the same time.

So if they can't play together what was the point of making all of those moves sacrificing the future of the team until 2017?

The Knicks are nothing more than a Denver Nugget first round exist from the playoffs led by Melo. We've already seen this script folks. Melo was clutch in 2006-2008 then fell off a tad and is showing small signs of returning but even at Melo's best and trust we've seen the best of Melo this is going nowhere.

[Kingwillball]

Melo has been at TIMES AWFUL this year, now he has no weaknesses.. Next we will see a post he is the best player in the league..

Then G.O.A.T. GOD BLESS AND GOOD NIGHT

Knicks fans are the best at living off a moment or 3 and then milking it for times indefinite
