Anyone notice how happy Melo is with KP? I don't remember him being this happy with any other teammate.

I think the team vibe is off the charts

Agreed.

Also, look at Melo's defensive numbers this season. That and the passing - he's a changed man:

http://stats.nba.com/player/#!/2546/trac...

He's holding guys to -12.7% of their regular shooting numbers overall> (those are all negative signs, 21% less inside six feet is insane!)

-12.7% overall
-9.8% on 3’s
-21% less than 6 feet
-15% less than 10 feet
-2% greater than 15 feet

Yeah and he just mentioned that he knew what he could do but people had to write what they had to write. Nice!

why are concerned about what others write about the team. Theyre just words you just ignore it

I think this team genuinely likes each other.

No azzholes like JR or tempermental people like Shump. No excuse makers like Flu, no lazy phucks like Fat, and no phenomenal dbags that fight fire extinguishers.

The Phil and KP effect. The biggest douche maybe the coach, but thankfully he's keeping his slut drama out of the consciousness of the locker room.

Just have to finish games better in the 4th.


Something more to the removal than meets the eye. Perhaps a lesson about not shooting that Dirk type fall-away when we need a high % shot. KP might have also gotten caught up with the crowds reaction to him.


I think he did a little. This video is post game, but you can see him pause. I don't think even he expected this sort of thing yet...


Wonder if the "selfie boy" and his dad were at the game chanting for KP?

Now that would be something worth seeing. Those two are worth finding for an interview.

Not concerned. The guy has said all along that he liked the pick. But last summer he when he was on vacation he was roasted by media and fans and the speculation was that he didn't. There was a lot of passionate posting here about the topic. He just acknowledged that it bothered him again that the media was making untrue assumptions. Those assumptions were embraced passionately by some here. Do you think Melo likes playing with Porzingis?

i think you and nixluva are the same person sometimes. I dont care what the media says. As for our fans they have the right to have their opinions. Not everything has/is 100 percent positive

I think you are Irish but I don't bring it up much. Nix and I have had are battles. But some fans need to be a bit more savy when reading media speculation even if it is about the guy they view as a villain guy that they compliment when he plays the right way.

Knicks have a big three.

KP - 29pts 11rebs 1blk (+20 plus/minus)
Melo - 18pts 11rebs 5ast 2blks (+19)
Afflalo - 16pts 3reb 3ast (+22)

It seriously reminds me a bit of how the 2008-10 Celtics were made up. Obviously KP is not MVP level KG... yet... but the team makeup feels similar in some weird way. Melo sacrificing a few of shots for better team cohesion a la Paul Pierce... etc...

+1

Probably because he finally has help.

not sure what your first sentence means but i will try to answer your other points. I wasnt trying to be disrespectful to you. I think you are Knowledgable as a fan. My point about the media is that they make up stuff so its best to ignore them
