I... I just can't anymore.

Fuck this entire organization. Fuck Dolan, fuck Grunwald, fuck D'Antoni, fuck Stat, fuck Melo, and most of all fuck Lin for duping me into rooting for these fucks again. I wish pain on all of them. I hope they miss the playoff by losing the final game to the Bobcats, unfortunately they'll be probably be eliminated far before that. I hope the Rockets use their pick to draft the next Jordan. I hope the Nets get Dwight and Deron and become the most popular team in New York for decades to come. I hope the Knicks franchise gets moved to Seattle to become the new Sonics…

Fuck

the

Knicks!

Easy there fella. i feel your pain and frustration. I've been saying this for years. The Knick's main problem is james Dolan. This guy is delusional and wants everything his way. As long as he remains the owner this franchise will never be taken serious and probably won't go anywhere

 

[reilo]

If the Cavs win tonight, they'll be 1 game back of the 8th seed. Ditto for the Bucks.

 

[iamshadowlark]

This is the second time in two years that a team looks considerably better without melo.


I would say he has to feel like shit, but then again, he probably doesn't give a fuck.

 

[victreeb3l]

fire pringles. i feel like we wont ever win another game again

how badly are we gonna get crushed by the bulls tomorrow

 

[Mothman91]

Holy shit this cracked me up.

:lol

my favorite phrase from this season so far.

I'd rather get rid of Amare than Melo.

The race to get stomped by Chicago is so contentious.

It's hard to believe that a team is better without a guy whose only positive attribute is to jack up 18 shots a game while only making 40% of them.

 

[Mothman91]

Lewis for Stat. Who says no?

Naw fuck that easy shit. And the Knicks have remained (very) profitable for the past 12 years despite being one of the biggest jokes in the history of sports. Dolan is never selling...

 

[Ilive1up]

melo never has a complete game. he'll go hot and then cold for 2 quarters. like today!

 

[Twenty7KVN]

Take away those shots an the Knicks lose by 30.Turnovers are the Knicks biggest problem right now.

 

[Tom Penny]

Sometimes the Knicks don't even look like a good team and it's just a bunch of wasted talent.

this coming from a fan of a team that relies on 3's.

SOMETIMES?!

 

[darkside31337]

Melo can't even shoot the 3 this season. He'd be garbage on the Magic.

 

[Alrix]

Postgame show has more intensity than the team and coaches.

 

[h3ro]

Kelly Tripucka going in, no rubber on the knicks right now. Love it.

 

[Panzon]

This. I think Melo just needs a good PG who's not gonna let him hold the ball while everyone just stands around to see what he does. The offense completely freezes once Melo touches the ball. Lin also needs to stop taking so many shots and learn how to spread the floor

 

[iamshadowlark]

Take away those shots an the Knicks lose by 30.Turnovers are the Knicks biggest problem right now.

Thats not how it works. Without Melo's ball stopping you get alot more of that decent OTB play and movement you got with linsanity. You get a lot more easy points and your offense doesn't look like a rec-league all-star team's.

 

[linsivvi]

no run at all,without melo it would be a 30 point game.

His +/- for this game is -16.

Give Alan Hahn some credit, he was getting real loud sounding like a ranting fan. it was awesome. HAHN FOR COACH

yeah like if that worked the last few games. they did even worse without melo.

He's gone off Vicodin. He has no idea what's happening.

Both those guys have been great. Trautwig is always fantastic as well.

i dont care about stats,i know what im looking at.

Not on this Knicks team.Even when Melo isn't in the game the Knicks still don't move the ball well.The second unit look lost sometimes,they dribble the ball and force bad plays and they do that when lin is on the floor to.The Knicks have lots of problems but Melo isn't the main one.

 

[linsivvi]

You don't care that when he's on the court the team is losing more than the loss margin?

Do you care about the stat that determines which team wins?

Unless you are saying you care about moral victories.

Added this game to the list:

Carmelo +/- since he came back:
vs Nets -10 (8 point loss)
vs Hawks +7 (17 point win)
vs Heat -15 (14 point loss)
vs Cavs +12 (17 point win)
vs Celtics -8 (4 point loss)
vs Mavs -18 (10 point loss)
vs Spurs -11 (13 point loss)
vs Bucks -5 (5 point loss)
vs 76ers -16 (12 point loss)

 

[Panzon]

This post game is so good

 

[Alrix]

Post from a knicks forum that I check out:

“I can’t say enough about that guy,” Lin says.

“I mean this guy wakes up at 6 a.m. every morning,” Lin says. “I’ll text after a game at midnight, 1 o’clock when I go home and I’ll say, ‘Hey can I look at those turnovers. Can I look at the upcoming team? How they run pick and rolls?’ And he ’ll have the film ready when I walk into the facility the next morning.

“There is nobody better than Kenny at developing players," says Minnesota Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman, who gave Atkinson his first NBA job, with the Houston Rockets. “We didn ’t want to lose him but going to New York was a chance for him to go home.”

“I wish I remembered him but I don’t,” Van Gundy says. “But I know him as a coach and all I hear are great things about him. . . . Enough people have spoken highly of Kenny that you just know he is the real deal.”

“Kenny is terrific working with players,” Bayno says. “I called my agent and said you got to get this guy. He should be working in the NBA. He’s head coaching material. One day, he’s going to get a chance. And he will have earned it.”

They said similar things about JVG and Thibs. This is the type of guy I want coaching. I think players would run through a wall and rally behind a young coach.

Interesting thought, it sounds a lot like Frank Vogel from last year.

You're looking at a team who's better without its two highest paid players

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Unless you are saying you care about moral victories.

Added this game to the list:

+/- is a silly stat. Only really works if the coach uses a ton of combinations of players + you have like a season's worth of data.

i have been looking at the last few games with melo and stat benched,they actually played worse. i think this system and coach is not working, system is only good for lin.

 

[Judderman]

I hope someone uploads the post game to YouTube, we started watching Hanna after the end of the half and I had to watch the 2nd half on stream.

 

[Twenty7KVN]

Well if that's the case the team should look better when the second unit is on the floor instead of looking worse.

 

[DY_nasty]

holy shit....

turner may not be a complete bust after all.

DYredeemed?

Bulls need to be scared of this Knicks team. ECF looks possible for them.

oof

lol no,where did you come up with his conclusion?we got scrjbs besides
novak.

I'm not sure anybody's "system" is gonna revitalize Amare's knees & lack of finishing on high percentage shots

 

[Syphon Filter]

DYredeemed?

oof

yet jazz lost to knicks.

 

[masud]

Knicks get
Lewis
Jamison
Vesely
Singleton
2012 1st rounder from the Cavs

Cavs get
Amar'e
Fields
2012 1st rounder from the Wizards (unprotected)
2014 1st rounder from the Wizards

Wizards get
Carmelo Anthony

Fire sale!

 

[linsivvi]

If they played worse without Melo then Melo's +/- wouldn't have exceeded the team's loss margin in almost every game, no?

You're right about the second part. Antonie is a problem and I've been saying this since day 1.

 

[Knux-Future]

DYredeemed?

oof

For now....

Turner balled against old tired Czzz's d and Knicks "d".

Utah I'm not sure about...but yeah.

Also he seems to make Jrue play like shit for some reason.

But I'll take it.

So if you need players to play better make up shit about them and leak it.

So Knicks fans, leak an article saying that Melo or Stat has a mental illness or something..

 

[DY_nasty]

yet jazz lost to knicks.

Yet Knicks lost to the Bobcats

Its okay to admit that your team blows ass and sucks dick from the back.

 

[soundahfekz]

lol no,where did you come up with his conclusion?we got scrjbs besides
novak.

I'm not saying ya'll have the best second unit, but they WILL gel more as they got used to baron throwing dishes. There were several passes where players weren't anticipating the dish and turned into a turnover.

Dat starting line up is fucked though. Coaching change might get you more wins next year, but a team with Melo/Stat as the main attraction is highly unlikely to contend. I'd be hoping for a trade

 

[Raging Spaniard]

If youre seriously saying "fuck you Lin" then you reeeeally need to take a look at yourself and not fall for every fad out there and put all your eggs in a new basket every day.

Lin is still a revelation and you should be thankful he gave your team the month he did.
