He may just not be that good. He was streaky last year as well.

Fukking trade him now

Hard to trade a guy when he's playing poorly and the team as a whole is also playing poorly. It may be possible but what would you get? As cheap as he is it would make more sense to hold on to him and see if he can improve.

That's the Knicks M.O.

We don't know when to hold em and when to fold em

Knicks are to basketball what fish are to poker pros

So the same goes for Shumpert, Bargnani, J.R. Smith

Part of Culture Change is having ability to take out the trash


So timing and foresight is everything

Looks like Phil may need another whole yr to grasp this


Oh wait he doesn't have to rush to do a whole

Lot as some of the trash decomposes naturally

Calderon is really pissed

btw, other than for tank purposes, what the hell does THJ bring to the table at this point?

Jose is losing his chit

Slammed and slapped the ball so many times in 15 seconds he looked like an angry chimp pounding his bananas

StarksEwing1 @ 12/25/2014 1:05 PM
Terrible melo

Randy Whitman said it best when asked about Carmelo having 12 points in the first quarter:

"as long as he is the only one touching the ball, we should be ok"

fukking brilliant!

To the Csrmelo haters,,,,,,who else on this roster is actually making shots?
Splat @ 12/25/2014 1:06 PM
So Early is sitting out?
F500ONE @ 12/25/2014 1:08 PM
We needed a guard who could penetrate

On the Wizards last possession there to stop Wall

Nah, I think he wants a lead role in the next Planet of the Apes movie

We really should max out Amare

Yeah think of Goran Dragic's penetration while Wall has ball in hand

I'm going off the UK notes from yesterday if I understand them correctly

funny

"I am sorry Melo. Happy New Year"

Barry is saying how great Amare is playing when its obvious that for every turnover of offense he gives up three baskets on defense

StarksEwing1 @ 12/25/2014 1:11 PM
I still like hardaway despite his issues because i think he still is very young. This is also the first time he is starting consistently. Most of the time he provides offense just not today

It's tough when you're talking about a draft pick that is still being developed. THJ has shown promise and this year he's been bad but it would seem premature to just give up on him under the circumstances of this season. Plus what would be the benefit? Perhaps he still has value but it's hard to know how other GM's feel about him. I would expect that Phil is open to trading anyone if there would be a benefit to the teams future prospects and not taking on salary that would hamper the cap.
