WELL THANK GOD! ha!!! what an absolute joke. kobe is playing on essentially a broken wrist that he gets completely numbed every game and melo takes himself out after a SLIGHT roll of the ankle. come on dude. give back $280K, or 1/66th of your $18 mil salary. there is absolutely no way he should have missed the rest of the game to get his freaking ankle x-rayed.
that was a complete mail-in by the knicks tonight. stoudemire took 6 shots and only made 1! and melo wasn't in the game past halfway in the 3rd period! shumpert shot, what, 20 times?
just a pathetic display tonight. no way this team is a title contender, that is an insult to teams that play together and at least bring it every night. what a joke.
To be fair, Kobe is really a tough guy, he just never gives up.

I kinda agree with you, but i think amare looks real fustrated with his teammates. The guy has not look comfortable, if his teammates cant hit perimter shots, it's tough for a big man to get going.
Last season, fields, felton, gallo, chandler, douglas, where knocking down 3's and he had no other big man in the paint.
This team has NEVER played hard for an entire season. It's a new thing they're trying to learn to do. We've still got the same guys who never have been known for playing hard for 48/82 games a season. It's something that has to be understood about the team. This isn't a team full of guys like KG.
I'm just glad that Melo should be OK, cuz we can't afford for him to go down.

I hate Kobe's guts, but he plays through pain like no other...broken fingers, sprained ankles, ribs, knees, you name it.

Sprains are sometimes worse than a fracture. Unless u are Carmelo I find it foolish to call the guy out like that.

That old Knicks attitude of playing injured may have looked tough, but it actually led to greater damage being done (see Allan Houston, Antonio McDyess, though the worst example is probably from another team, Grant Hill)- I'd rather a player just sat out an extra game or two and made sure they were 100%, rather than come back too early and make things worse.
We weren't winning that game with or without Melo- we stunk from tip off in every area of the game. I don't blame Melo for going iso so much these past few games- no other player seems to have anything going offensively. The problem is that they have now gotten used to that, and lost whatever remaining confidence they had, which in turn makes Melo put it all on his shoulders again. We're stuck in a vicious circle.
Hope Melo makes a quick recovery- we are up against good teams for the next few games, and without him we are just going to get embarrassed.
I worry about how tired the players are- our schedule has been pretty light compared to other teams so far- if they look this bad on a back to back, what the heck are they going to be like in a back to back to back?!
Sprained my ankle a few weeks ago. Hard to walk, let alone run. All depends on the severity.
Sit Melo, give Amare more touches and let him get his groove back.
