Down by 12. Still a winnable game. I expect them to play well in the second half.

If Woodson would have done that we wouldn't be down. I look for him to do just that in 2nd half

Yea, right, let's bench our franchise player and leader of our team. Let's bench the same player who's not only LED us to first place of the Atlantic Division (something we haven't won since 1994 and only two times under Ewing) but has also LED us to the 2nd seed of the entire Eastern Conference 41 games into the regular season. He's done all of this, during only his first (full) season as a Knick.
Yea, right, let's bench Melo. Lets bench Melo due to 5/16, 14 points, 4 boards and 2 assists during the first half.
Did you not see Melo during the first half against Boston when compared to the 2nd half against Boston? Exactly. Melo simply took over the game, dominated the entire Celtics team while leading us to victory in Boston during the 2nd half.
Yea, right; lets "BENCH" Melo!!!!
no reason to take 16 shots when you have other guys you could set up..benching him is not a bad idea..
just for a few, so he could see the ball movement

I said it earlier in the season, we might have a problem

4 post's above you're smart guy.
I don't overact due to "one quarter". I understand this is the first time Felton, Shumpert, Melo, Amar'e and Chandler have played together this season. I understand that we have an entire half to not only catch up from 12 points, but also win this game. I understand that Melo struggled shooting during the first half but also understand Melo's a scoring phenom and has the ability to take over the entire second half.
Where is NYK Mentality? Right here. Ready for a strong second half.
What an f'n disaster. The Knicks haven't hit the 3 pointer with any consistency in over a month. Melo is starting to get back to his low efficiency ways. JR sucks on O lately. Novak is all f'd up in the head. Guys are passing up open shots to watch Melo try and force it. Swiss cheese D. Watching this is worse than watching every 6 year old travel and double dribble in my son's noon game.

Defense isn't great but offensive chemistry is atrocious. Melo 5-16. Felton is back but he is still in a major slump. Needs to take a backseat til his shot returns

Thats my main problem with this team, they don't have the discipline nor the drive to be the best team they can be. Nah, they rather disappear in games like this while they wait for the playoffs like they are already guaranteed a spot and where the issues they didn't address during the season will surface again.
Defense has been pathetic and it should be the team's bread and butter. They are playing uncharacteristically out of control, pretty disappointing.
StarksEwing1 wrote:this is why you dont overpay JR Smith
ZERO for 5. Wow.
melo has had a rough stretch lately. JR has been terrible. Felton hasnt been the savior some were proclaiming him to be because his defense is still terrible
Oh..and one more thing. Game Over. I am going to watch Lin and Harden tear up the Nets. LOL!

You overreact to people's opinions if they are different than yours. You have to stop that and have an open mind

That's what is being said.
Defense is playing Melo pretty rough, but its his job to pass the ball and he isn't.

Bench him for the quarter. Not the game. Melo SHOULD NOT have a green light to throw up nasty shots!
