Knicks against Raps and Refs is just too much.

Melo getting sloppy. Not boxing out but doing that thing where he faces his man and manhugs him. curious as to what the reasoning is behind this.

Finally, a basket.

I've taken to watching the game on mute, hoping this makes me less irritated by it. The Knicks aren't playing great but the officiating has been abysmal.

Derozan looks like Reggie Miller/Ray Allen/Richard Hamilton/Dwayne Wade rolled into 1 player

Melo is not a PF

melo is not a complete player like lebron he is a scorer thats all. Denver is probably laughing their ass off. they pretty much raped us in that trade and now have a good young squad plus they control our future draft picks

I dont know if that really explains why hes boxing out backwards

Raps kill us off the switches with DeRozan and Gay. Two big and athletic wings that can create for themselves. We have to find a better way of matching up with their best 2 players. Woody had the same issue with George on the Pacers.

We have a bunch of lazy unintelligent assholes on this team.
gunsnewing @ 2/22/2013 8:39 PM
Notice Woodson doesn't have any young minds on his staff to undermine him?

I get the feeling that this is somehow tied to him having a lesser role in the offense and not staying focused. Unfortunately.

denver is gettin beat by a still crummy blizzards team right now. not that it matters since the knicks are struggling as well.

I dunno.

The Melo that I saw in the beginning of the season was becoming a more complete player. Intense on D. Understanding that he can do things other than scoring to help win games, like waiting for a double and making a smart pass.

I have faith that guy has to come back.

Logically Melo wants to win.
In order to beat Lebron in the ECF and Durant in the finals he has to become a complete player.

Therefore he has to.
have faith

I like the Melo/Chandler screen to get into the offense
