Watching Melo watch West dribble out the clock like a moron was a great capping to that game for me.

 

[dream]

I'm pretty sure Amare is going to get roasted tomorrow morning.

Amare is this year's Lebron James.

Hi dIEHARD did you see Rondo tonight

 

[Sanjuro]

He's not a white diabetic. He'll be ok.

Ouch.

 

[The Frankman]

Om did you win ur bet? they cover the spread

I don't think he had a spread involved. I thought it was straight win-or-lose.

 

[Four_Chamber]

What's so brilliant about what D'Antoni has done here to be honest?

If the Knicks go out with a wimper and can't execute, you have to find a coach who can make this team work. The whole "7 seconds or less" thing is a vestige of the past now with Melo working his isolation game.

D'Antoni has two games to prove himself. Getting to .500 with Amar'e and Melo doesn't impress me. I'm jealous of what the Bulls got with Thibodeau

 

[giri]

Give me a break. Not his fault.

Yeah, this was on execution, mainly.

 

[The Chosen One]

I think Melo played great toward the end. He gave spot on passes out of double teams and didn't force the issue. If Amare or Billups was out on the court, they probably would have won.

Knicks fans should be encouraged that Melo was making good unselfish decisions at the end yet he still hit some big shots.

 

[Baby Milo]

He should have taken the shot I thought that he had that shit..

It's on Dantoni though

why is Jared even in the game?

 

[THRILLH0]

LOL Rondo 30 points only 7 assists, you'll never win anything playing like that!!!!

 

[Sanjuro]

I think that is Melo's problem. He is too unselfish and his team pays the price for it. He had several opportunities to lead and just didn't want to.

Awesome effort, wasted

I don't like McHale's voice.

He was getting double teamed in the last few minutes. What do you do in situations like this? Pass it to the open man.

Hi dIEHARD did you see Rondo tonight

scoring is an overrated stat.

What is this... i don't even...

are you a NY Media Journalist?

 

[Maxim726X]

Fellow Knick fans, no need for such anger!

We all knew that this team wouldn't be competing for a championship this season... Watching that performance made me hopeful for the future.

That was one of the best post-season performances I've ever seen.

 

[thekad]

You're fucking dumb and prove it over and over. How could melo have gotten a shot off on that last knicks set? Pierce is allowed to hold him when he is cutting and the celtics double hard as soon as melo got the ball.

Wade would split the double. Lebron would find the guy who can make the shot. Kobe would have shot over them. Melo passed it to Jeffries with one of the best defenders of all time breathing down his neck.

Melo's just not smart enough to be a winner.

 

[brianjones]

orlando collapsing

 

[Justin Timberlake]

It's on Dantoni though

why is Jared even in the game?

Because he made the shot before that possession?

All Jeffries had to do was make an open layup. You can't blame D'antoni there. He didn't know Jeffries was such a big pussy that he would look to pass the ball when he is directly underneath the basket.

 

[CB3]

Melo was playing with the Smush Parker All Star Team there at the end and still damn near had the game. impressive

 

[Pkaz01]

the makers of mortal kombat should just advertise after knick games and why will sell a million copies right there and then.

kevin harlan is a pretty good commentator TNT has the best ones. except for mark jackson fuck him.

 

[Duki]

melo was phenomenal and anyone talking shit about him not wanting to lead is a moron

today was the best and smartest hes played as a knick

passing to a wide open man under the rim while youre double teamed is not being a pussy

fuck everybody and everything

i need a drink

 

[Blackface]

and I was paying so little attention I thought Dallas were the magic for like 4 minutes.

 

[THRILLH0]

scoring is an overrated stat.

/dIEHARD.

YOUR PG GOTTA PLAY THE RIGHT WAY! That's how Stockton, Kidd and Nash got all their rings.

 

[diehard]

Hi dIEHARD did you see Rondo tonight

I Tuned in to see him badly miss a layup and then a wide open 3, and also back the ball out after Allen passed it to him on a break.

 

[charsace]

I think that is Melo's problem. He is too unselfish and his team pays the price for it. He had several opportunities to lead and just didn't want to.

Did you watch the game? Melo was getting mugged in the 4th and doubled anytime he touched the ball. He made the only play that was available to him in these situations which was to pass. Guys have to be able to make an open shot or make one move when guys are out of position because they are focusing on melo.

 

[Fatalah]

It was Melo vs. the Celtics tonight, and people are posting "LOL Knicks"? The reaction should be "LOL Celtics" after seeing the last 2 games.

 

[Brinbe]

Mavs bricking everything

 

[Four_Chamber]

I disagree- I don't blame Melo one bit. He passed to a wide open guy underneath the hoop.

Jeffries is a professional NBA player being asked to be on the floor at the end of a ballgame. Melo made a pass to a wide open guy underneath the hoop. From Brendan Haywood to Nick Collison, a big man that wide open should go up for a shot. Jeffries is an abortion of a basketball player so he decides to pass when he's 1.5 feet from the rim.

 

[KingGondo]

Patty Mills sure likes to wave that towel.

 

[Mutagenic]

Stay aggressive, LMA!

 

[h3ro]

Melo was playing with the Smush Parker All Star Team there at the end and still damn near had the game. impressive

And Boston still only just won.

Hey.

It's ok to write in paragraphs.

Each sentence doesn't need a line break.

 

[Baby Milo]

He didn't know Jeffries was such a big pussy that he would look to pass the ball when he is directly underneath the basket.

So everyone but Dantoni knows that Jared is an offensively challenged pussy?by some miracle Jeffries actually manages to convert a wide open layup and he still manages to get burned for it in the end.I can't even blame him for fucking it up, there's no way he should ever be out in that situation.

 

[Branduil]

The fix is in.

 

[cann3dheat]

Patty Mills sure likes to wave that towel.

Leads the league in towel waves.

 

[diehard]

scoring is an overrated stat.

/dIEHARD.

No, scoring on like 40% shooting and turning the ball over as many times as you get an assist when you are point guard makes it overrated.

 

[numble]

DOS!! In Orlando.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

Jameer is such a scrub. A 24 second violation would have been better than that.

 

[charsace]

Wade would split the double. Lebron would find the guy who can make the shot. Kobe would have shot over them. Melo passed it to Jeffries with one of the best defenders of all time breathing down his neck.

You're dumb and need to shut the fuck up.l Too bad we'll never be face to face.

 

[TangMeng]

Magic collapse makes me feel better.

2-0 is 2-0 who really gives a shit in the end how you get there. It's not like the Knicks are a lock to win Game 3 or anything just because the Celtics haven't blown them out of the water, the C's are in great shape.

 

[The Chosen One]

I think that is Melo's problem. He is too unselfish and his team pays the price for it. He had several opportunities to lead and just didn't want to.

What are you talking about? He got hit with hard double teams as soon as he touched the ball the final two minutes. He probably would have gotten turnovers trying to dribble out of those. He gave us players WIDE OPEN shots from his pass outs from the double teams. They gotta make those shots.

 

[dream]

And Boston still only just won.

dat 2-0!

 

[giga]

That's dagger. :/

...of course I watched the game. They still had enough time to try and pass the ball around more and grab a foul. That might have something to do with not having Chauncey in as well, none of those guys looked like they knew how to set anything up of that nature.

Let the baby have their bottles. Billups may be back Friday and the same with STAT.

... read his post aloud, charsace.

then ask yourself "Is he trolling"? The answer is yes. Why you letting him bother you? Just save your hate for Jeffries and get ready for game 3.

 

[Justin Timberlake]

Did anyone see the shot Horford just threw up? Please tell me someone else did.

That was fucking terrible. Shameful.

 

[Gigglepoo]

I missed the Celtics game -- how the heck did Boston only win by 3 with Amare and Chauncy hurt?

 

[THRILLH0]

Dude pipe down until Rose or Rondo actually lose a game.
