Knicks · Carmelo Anthony's flaws hidden among greatness and depth of Team USA - Adrian Wojnarowski (page 13)

TheloniusMonk wrote:Kevin Durant averages less assists than Melo. Rarely hear the "selfish" stamp on him. Doesn't hit the weights much either. Great player tho. Amazing at that. So is Melo. Undeniable.

But...but....ummm....Durant is younger and he can lead a team. He led his team to the Finals which is much more than Melo has even done in his career.

I hate when he has a hissy fit when Westbrook hogs the ball.

Melo was injured after Memphis game and sucked after that but before that was playing great
Response: Melo sucked most of the season don't blame injury

Melo options to pass to stunk it up when he did pass
Response: Melo never bought into the system and shoots too much

Melo stated first three games under Woodson I've just tried to use more energy on defense and give the team everything I got
Response: Melo was dogging it Under MDA

Man get the hell out of here with this excuse making. Dude was playing major minutes and when he started to stink so bad that he was literally hurting the team he sat his ass down JUST BEFORE WE PLAY THE HEAT!!!! Talk about a bitch move.

No more F'n EXCUSES!!! He didn't break a leg or anything. His ass was able to play 35 minutes a night or more. If he actually worked on his passing and scoring within the flow of an offense and not just off ISO he'd be much closer to Lebron than you guys are making it sound. I NEVER SAID he'd BE LEBRON, but the idea is that if you're as skilled as Melo is there's no reason except for laziness for him not to be putting up better numbers. Melo can score, rebound and pass. He's good enough at the basic skills of the game to be a better player than he is. He needs to do more of the things that are part of WINNING BB. Not just ISO.

What part of the guy was playing hurt is not understood. Oh, I see, thumb, groin, ankle and a wrist injury doesn't count!

FACTS - 10 games into the season Melo is balling.
1/12/12 - Grizzlies - Melo spraines his wrist. (L)
1/14/12 - Sits out against OKC. (L)
1/16/12 - Melo plays against Orlando and rolls his ankle. (L)
1/18/12 - Throws up a stinker against PHX. He sucks! Forget that he's playing on a bad wheel with a sprained wrist. (L)
1/20/12 - Bucks - While injured puts up 35 points and gets ejected in a Knicks loss. (L)
1/21/12 - Nuggets - Puts up 25 points but shoots 10 for 30. Clearly he has had time to recover from his injuries on a back to back. (L)
1/24/12 - Scores 1 pt on 0-7 shooting against the Bobcats. Knicks win by 33 points. Melo injures his thumb. (W)
1/25/12 - Scores 15 pts on 5-14 shooting against the Cavs with an injured ankle, thumb and wrist.(L)

Melo becomes a BITCH and decides to sit out against Miami. In a further bitch move he also sits aginst Western Confernce FInal favorite Houston Rockets.

1/31/12 - After 5 days of rest and therapy Melo suits up and drops 25 against the Pistons going 9-14 from the field along with 6 dimes in a 27 point blowout. (W)
2/2/12 - Knicks lose a hard fought game against the Bulls. Mel 26 points on 10/26 shooting. STAT carries the team but misses a jumper at the end of the game. (L)
2/3/12 - Melo scores 26 on 8 for 17 shooting but Knicks blow a lead and lose to the Celts. (L)

Melo misses the next 7 games, all Knicks wins....7 in a ROW!!!!

2/23/12 - Heat - Knicks get crushed 102-88. Melo scores 19 on 7 for 20 shooting. Clearly this loss is on Melo as Lin goes 1 for 11 from the field with 8 points and 8 to's. (L)
2/29/12 - Knicks crush the Cavs by 17. All Knicks play well. (L)
3/4/12 - Melo has a terrible shooting day but scores 25 with 6 in the final minute and a half. PP kills us and we lose in OT. Rondo kills us with a triple double that hasn't been seen since Magic in 1989. Linsainty continues to rain supreme with 14 points 5 assists and 6 to's. (L)
3/6/12 - Melo and the entire team play like crap against the Mavs with the exception of STAT and Novak. (L)
3/7/12 - Parker drops 32 and the Spurs are too much to handle wihout Tyson to man the middle. Melo goes for 27 on 50% shooting with 2 boards, 3 ast's and 2 stls. (L)
3/9/12 - Bucks - Melo 22 pts, 5 rbs, 2 assts, 1 steal. Knicks lose again with no Tyson Chandler. (L)
3/11/12 - Sixers - Melo 22 points on 5 for 13 shooting with 9 boards & 3 assists. Lin goes 5 for 18 for 14 points 7 assits & 6 to's. Lou Willims score 32.(L)
3/12/12 - Melo goes 8 for 21 and scores 21 with 8 boards, 3 asts and 2 steals and 1 blk. Rose scores 32 to lead the Bulls. (L)

3/13/12 = Off day - Knick record = 18 Wins 24 losses

3/14/12 - MDA, after having a brain cramp, asks managment to get rid of the fat, ball hogging, no heart Carmelo Anthony. Management refuses and hands the reigns to Mike Woodson.

3/14/12 through 3/24/12 - Knicks go 6-1 with Lin, Melo and STAT. All in Knicks Land are happy.

3/26/12 - Lin is done for the year and STAT's back is F'd up. Time for Melo to put up or shut up.

Melo than leads the Knicks to an 9-4 record without Lin and without STAT!

MELO LEADS THE KNICS TO THE PLAYOFFS!!!!!!!

It actually was 596% I thought it would be horrible so I didn't think it would be fair to add it lol. And with 31% of his overall attempts.

Yeah - I just saw that. I lost all my confidence now in what they consider a jumper.

And he couldn't have done it without the additions of Smith and Novak to the lineup who complimented him nicely for that stretch.

1/25/12 - Scores 15 pts on 5-14 shooting against the Cavs. He should be in better shape. (L)

Melo is a BITCH and demands to sit out against Miami as he can't guard Lebron. He also wants no part of the Houston Rockets. He's not a franchise player!

1/31/12 - After 5 days of chilling with La La he suits up and drops 25 against the Pistons going 9-14 from the field along with 6 dimes in a 27 point blowout. He should be doing this every night!(W)
2/2/12 - Knicks lose a hard fought game against the Bulls. Mel 26 points on 10/26 shooting. STAT carries the team but misses a jumper at the end of the game. Melo told STAT thay this is his team and STAT shouldn't be taking the last shot! (L)

Melo misses the next 7 games, all Knicks wins....7 in a ROW!!!! This proves that Melo is a cancer and we shouldn't have traded away 3 future HOF's and lottery picks!

2/20/12 - Melo returns against the Nets and shoots 4 for 11 as Williams throws water on the Linsanity fire. Melo sucks! He should have been guarding Williams! (L)
2/22/12 - Hawks - Melo scores 15 on 7 for 16 shooting. Knicks win after having a 25 point lead at the half. KiKi would have done better! (W)
2/23/12 - Heat - Knicks get crushed 102-88. Melo scores 19 on 7 for 20 shooting. Clearly this loss is on Melo as Lin goes 1 for 11 from the field with 8 points and 8 to's. This proves that Melo is selfish and he's holding Lin back. (L)
2/29/12 - Knicks crush the Cavs by 17. All Knicks play well. Lin should be the featured player on the team.(L)
3/4/12 - Melo has a terrible shooting day but scores 25 with 6 in the final minute and a half. PP kills us and we lose in OT. Rondo kills us with a triple double that hasn't been seen since Magic in 1989. Linsanity continues to rain supreme with 14 points 5 assists and 6 to's. Melo put vaseline on the ball to prevent Lin from getting a grip. (L)
3/6/12 - Melo and the entire team play like crap against the Mavs with the exception of STAT and Novak. Melo should be traded!!!! (L)
3/7/12 - Parker drops 32 and the Spurs are too much to handle wihout Tyson to man the middle. Melo goes for 27 on 50% shooting with 2 boards, 3 ast's and 2 stls. If Melo played Center we would have won! (L)
3/9/12 - Bucks - Melo 22 pts, 5 rbs, 2 assts, 1 steal. Knicks lose again with no Tyson Chandler. Why isn't Melo playing Center?! (L)
3/11/12 - Sixers - Melo 22 points on 5 for 13 shooting with 9 boards & 3 assists. Lin goes 5 for 18 for 14 points 7 assits & 6 to's. Lou Willims score 32. It's clear that Melo is cramping Lin's style(L)
3/12/12 - Melo goes 8 for 21 and scores 21 with 8 boards, 3 asts and 2 steals and 1 blk. Rose scores 32 to lead the Bulls. If Melo guarded Rose this wouldn't have happened (L)

3/13/12 = Off day - Knick record = 18 Wins 24 losses

3/14/12 - Melo tells MDA off and states "I'm the damn STAR. How dare you give the ball to the Ivy League Geek! Melo calls management and demands that MDA be fired. Dolan loves Melo and doesn't want to upset him, especially since La La is hooking him up with a friend. Dolan tells MDA that he's fired but say's he will say MDA resigned as long as he doesn't throw Melo under a bus.

3/14/12 through 3/24/12 - Knicks go 6-1 with Lin, Melo and STAT. All in Knicks Land are happy except for Melo.

3/26/12 - Lin is done for the year and STAT's back is F'd up. Melo is upset that he has to carry the team but doesn't want to hurt any endorsement deals so he sucks it up.

Melo plays as the Knicks are led to to an 9-4 record led by Novak, Chandler and Baron Davis!

MELO PLAYS AS NOVAK, CHANDLER AND DAVIS LEAD THE KNICS TO THE PLAYOFFS. However, Melo tells Dolan the only way La La is hooking him up is if Dolan refuses to sign Jeremy Lin.

Dolan is lonely and La La said her friend was easy so Dolan passes on Lin.

Oh, and smiling - you know, that guilty smile

Good call MrKnickShot,

Please let the record show that Melo played ISO MeloBall during all losses and was a team player during wins. Let the record further show that Melo smiled only after Knick losses and was seen telling STAT that fire extinguishers were saying that STAT played no D after all losses.

And he spit his virus venomous spittle into Tyson's macro biotic soup before the Miami series

And ... last one ... he got Shumps and BD knees ripped to shred by forcing them into the unnatural MeloBuryBall - their knees were not properly trained for this

I hereby put The Answer Man on probation for five days and sentence him to 50 pushups...non-Kevin Garnett style.

Hahaha - Answer Man - No worries.

Keep the thought provoking positive posts coming.

Pablo & Melo is going to be the new "beautiful basketball".

“Jeremy is more of a scorer,” Prigioni said. “He likes to shoot more. I saw him about 10 games from last year. I saw him all the time looking to score. Many point guards in the NBA (do the same) because they have talent of course.

“I’m not this kind of player. I like to pass the ball and find the open (shooters); play smart. If someone is open, give the ball to him.”
