WOW now a dumb flagrant foul? What a way to start the road trip!!!
Why is Melo still playing? Coming off knee injury and clearly not playing well. I wonder with this coach sometimes...
I hate Woodson right now. SIT MELO DOWN.

Matter of fact WHY EVEN PLAY MELO in this game? If his Knee is still stiff and swollen, it just doesn't make sense!!!
I tried to tell you guys with Melo it's as much mental as it is physical with him. He's not all there and hasn't been for a few weeks now.
Don't believe I've ever been more disappointed in Woodson. This isn't old school its flat out stupid.
I can now see why Copeland hasn't even sniffed the court for such a long time. Made complete sense to maximize Melo and STAT's minutes.

This is clearly physical tonight.
AS i've been saying, WHY THE HELL does Cope only get time as a last resort??? Dude could've helped this team all season if given a chance.
Melo needs to sit. This makes no sense!!!
Why is it even when Melo is healthy and playing the Knicks defense goes down the tube's!Coincidence i think not!

Yeah just grind the stars down when you've got willing and able players on the bench!!! Made no sense at all.

He looks totally disinterested and disengaged....If he is that hurt you sit down. I do believe he's in pain but he appears personally discouraged.

Melo isn't remotely healthy tonight, he's limping up and down the court. And he can hardly be held solely responsible for the team's defensive effort. It's on all of them.

He is a professional chucker, what does he do besides shoot?
I think I have lost all faith that this team can win a Championship. Woody has gone from a good coach to a bad one in the same time the rest of team started to crumble. We are lucky we played so well to start that we have such a big cushion. I remember when woody would draw up an awesome play time after time out of a timeout. When was the last time we have seen that?
Knicks will be LUCKY to win even one game on this trip.

It's what happens when the culture of the team and the city is such that NO team is safe.
Popovich would never have to worry about his job and feel pressured to play his vets HUGE minutes.
It really totally explains why Woody would be so paranoid to keep Tyson, Melo etc on the court early on in the season even when we were up by 15 with like 4 minutes to go.

He scores off the bench. There were a couple of stretches this season where that's exactly what the team needed.
I don't even understand why you wouldn't insert him in those games where we come out looking flat and uninspired and fall behind 20 pts to Sacramento, Portland, etc.

There is a difference between discouraged and disinterested. The latter implies he doesn't care. Melo came back too soon, is obviously hurt is trying to get his teammates involved instead of forcing the issue. Been grabbing boards. Thats not disinterested.
