I didnt praise Melo once, but telling thats really all you brought to the discussion. Closest thing I said wasWhat we are seeing from that player is impressive.
But thanks.As for Melo getting credit for KP? The numbers prove KP plays considerably better when Melo is on the floor but there are a 100 other threads you can rattle that empty can in. This thread was about Phil Jackson and some perspective on his earlier moves. Thanks for reading.
thanks for just adding that. Why is Clarence Gaines here and a big factor?

I can make this even easier for you. 2 years ago Clarence Gaines Jr. was a scout for the Chicago Bulls. Why is he working for the Knicks today?
Even easier still...
Who hired him?
See where I am going with this?

lol
After all we went through yesterday with Crzy's thread title you couldn't help but include the same dig in your thread title.
Anyway moving on, Great thread as was Crzymups thread. Just have to look past the title and hope the thread isn't ruined the way Crzy's was. There is a lot of good in there
Great post fish!

Wasn't it tkf? Been so long I've almost forgot. And you've got to give the guy credit, wherever he is. Phil signed Melo, tkf left.

Be that as it may, as someone who was legitimately away from this forum for a few years and came back cold a few months ago and has mixed feelings about Melo, I can tell you my impression from day 1 was the Melo fixation was very, very real and impossible to escape.
Within days I could see certain screen names and know before I read their posts 80% of what their post would be about.

My issue (generally, you haven't impressed upon me an extreme lean for what that's worth) its less a matter of accuracy and more an issue of volume. One can be fixated on a true thing. Often times a true thing could be completely superfluous and/or irrelevant to the topic at hand.

I'm not arguing either side is innocent of all charges.
I'm telling you as a cold outsider without a horse in the race, the overall lean was immediately and inescapably clear.
From my brief experience, I think if you'd ask Martin he'd acknowledge this.

I've been accused of the opposite. Did 5 rounds with Chuckbuck 3 weeks or so ago about whether Melo was the alpha dog of the Knicks, as opposed to KP.
The factual answer of course then and now is Melo, and for stating this fact I was assumed a Melo lover/apologist/ballwasher, etc.

The context was the offense. Melo is the center of gravity. KP could not and should not perform the role Melo is currently. And that isn't a knock on KP.
Isn't about who's better, it's about who the offense goes through, and it's Melo.
