Damn! am I on the Knick's Forum ? Or the Celtics Forum. It looks like everyone is Celtics lovers and Melo haters no matter what he does. The Knicks will come back and beat Boston.
F*** The Celtics.
F*** Kevin Garnett. He's a dirty player and he's earned that reputation for a reason. Melo saw KG throw an elbow at STAT's back, the same back that kept him out of a couple of the playoff games with the Celtics and not to mention STAT wasn't the same player last season with the bulging disk. That was the straw the broke the camel's back for Melo. There's a difference between playing physical and playing dirty. If KG hit STAT and injured his back and he's out even longer, how would you like it then?
I'm glad Melo's had a problem with that. I wish he hadn't let it affect his decision making and I wish we hadn't lost. I sure as hell hope he doesn't get suspended. Wouldn't some of y'all just love to see what our record becomes without Melo, Felton, Sheed and Iman?
But give Melo credit. Melo HAS BEEN IMPROVING with respect to controlling his emotions and dealing with refs compared to the beginning of the season.
He'll learn from this and we'll win it the next time. Melo's got some growing to do but he's won us far more games than he's lost us.
In conclusion:
F*** the Celtics.

Celtics play'd extremely hard and the refs let both teams play. Pierce hit some tough shots and Melo didn't. He might have been fouled on some of those shots but he was playing so emotional and reckless the refs weren't gonna call that. Amare looked good on offense which was encouraging. We definitely missed Felton in a game like this. If not only to get the ball up in a quick manner. Prigs was brutal.
Good post.
Racking up moral victories again? We were up for the challenge? They messed with Melo and he took the bait. If not for JR Smith, this would have been an ugly blowout. Why can't we try to do something diff when Melo is shooting like that?
And exactly what do you suggest??? Outside of Melo we have Camby, Tyson and Brewer who can't create for themselves. Felton and Shump are key pieces to the puzzle, just how the celtics looked like pure garbage before bradley got back. Let's be realistic. Every loss is not the end of the world, nobody is concerned about damn moral victories but understanding about the game goes a looong way. Not to mention other than J.r the only other person that's able to create is working his way back from injury!!
Give me another damn team that loses their projected starting backcourt and still be 22-11? I'll wait.
Are you suggesting we went 22-11 without are starting backcourt? Because that's just flat out bull crap. And we didn't exactly have an offense with Felton in there at full speed. Shump isn't exactly an offensive stalwart either. All we did in the first part of the season was shoot 3s way above collective career avaerages. Yeah keep waiting.
While what you said is arguable in itself it does nothing to answer the question.

Pierce yea. Garnet, not at all.
Yes Garnett's too as I appreciate his intensity and play on the defensive end.
He is talking about how Garnett stuck his leg out when setting a screen for PP when we played them in the playoffs
And the resulting game winner from PP.
AAAAAHHHHhH!!!!..Old time Knicks basketball...I love it!!!..The season didn't start until Oakman slap someone!!!..Bring it on!!!
I thought Amare looked great tonight but they didn't give him the ball for basically the entire 4th quarter they kept launching jump shots

Amare looks like hes back. Pep in his step. Now just work him into the offense and we kick butt.

Needs to slow down and let the game come to him. He's trying so hard to pull off those new moves of his, that he's rushing a bit.
Missed most of the game and I missed all the shenanigans. I gotta tell you, I have found some new respect on Melo. I don't care that the Knicks lost, but the fact that he stood up for himself is really big in my book. I am a little disappointed with the rest of the team though. From the highlights that I can see, only Tyson retaliated but I could be wrong. Did anybody else from the Knicks backed up Melo?
Nice game for the Somberites. Enjoy it fellas, a late Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanza gift from Melo directly to your fake little glass is half-full collective existences.
Melo gets chippy with the Celtics, and he's being called immature. The Celtics. I haven't checked yet, but I'm almost certain we'll be regaled with lots of "KG might be dirtier than your dogs azzhole, but he's got heart" and "Doc Rivers, motivational genius? You decide" and "Rondo, he makes his team better than Melo does when not playing" threads.
If Melo takes their sheehit and went away quietly into the night, you'd all be busy calling him a spineless, non-leader.
Enjoy being 6 back, Kevin. Tell the Raptors we said hello.

we all know garnett is a fake debo, douchebag, but he can play his azz off and is a pro at pissing people off, this is what he does,... carmelo should know this as well, but he just can't resist..... Sports is also a mind game... carmelo so far is not doing well in that department..
has he ever done well in that department? he lacks poise for a putative "leader."

yes i love his game. i also love garnett's game. yes i am a knick fan. it's possible to do both.

Why don't you just carry your butt over and be a damn Celtics Fan. It's one thing to be upset because we lost be it seems to me you are loving it. Melo has save more game this season than lost so why don't you just be a Kevin Garnet and Paul Pierce Fan. I hat them both. Melo showed some heart and I am glad he stood up to Garnet who is one of the dirtiest players in the league. Right now it seems we have more haters on this forum than Knicks blue blood. It's getting me sick.
stop sulking. i have always admired pierce's and garnett's games. complete players are hard to find these days. it's why the celtics are still viable. i don't mind that we lost so much as how we lost. melo lacks poise and i don't see that changing. come playoff time it is going to be a factor.

This is not just another loss. This is a disappointing loss because it shows we can't "handle the heat". This is tough, physical, playoff basketball and we have been psyched out and punked in every matchup with a team like this.
Melo was shooting poorly before he and Garnett got into it..BTW we did handle the Heat, twice...
The Heat have lost to the Wizards and Pistons and Bucks so being that we beat them twice isn't saying that much especially when the Rockets blew us out twice and we've lost to the Bulls twice without Derrick Rose.....
So you can play semantics with the wins and losses all day everyday
And tonight, The Thunder lost to the Wizards. It's the NBA, no game is guaranteed during the reg. season.
My point exactly that's very equivalent to us losing the Kings. Trying to hang our hat on beating the Heat twice just isn't carrying much weight at the moment.
Also, overreacting in response to any particular loss is not carrying much weight. It goes both ways.

You keep saying Melo lacks poise. You'd have to essentially ignore just about all the previous games this season and only focus on last nights game to reach that conclusion. LoL!

While I was watching the game with my son and Amare pulled some of those spin moves,my son and I said THATS HAKEEMS MOVE. It was so there it was funny.Amare will be fine,give him 4or 5 more games.
