Disturbing Truths About Carmelo Anthony...

[Joe Sixpack]

- 0 MVPs

- 0 Scoring Titles

- 9 Playoff Appearances, Only 1 Time Past The First Round

- 3.1 Career Average Assists Per Game

I had no idea, B...

 

[NYC Rebel]

So...playing for a coach with a career 78 - 101 playoff record had no affect over him? Hold up. You guys EXPECTED Melo to get the Knicks past Boston and the Heat in the first round, right? He fell short of your expectations

 

[Joe Sixpack]

This is why I'm like fukk the Knicks and their fans..

You guys are the worst.

Carmelo will get his one day..

smh @ all the Chubb Chubbz hate....smh....every player isn't the same fellaz.....everyone isn't Lebron. In case you guys haven't noticed throughout the history of the league, SF's don't really average that many assists with the exception of Grant Hill/Bron and a few others........everyone has a knack...melo's is scoring.....still the most versatile scorer in the league....CANNOT be stopped one-on-one

 

[NYC Rebel]

Your TEAM expectations for the team he plays on should be in complete harmony with Melos first round record, no?

Too many dunderhead niqqas on this site to address

And cats shyt on Lebron...

I've always been a fan of Anthony but these are depressing things to know about him...

What exactly is disturbing? I could throw up Pat Ewing and he wouldnt have MVP either, ok you will say he made it out the first round but lets look at who Carmelo lost to, mostly he lost to the Spurs and Lakers and last year he lost to the Heat as his team was decimated, year before lost to the Celts again with a decimated team.

You nigggas wanna act like if you aint Lebron or Durant you are garbage. Just cause you aint a top 5 player in the league you aint trash.

What did Garnett do before Boston? Oh thats right, only once out the first round when he had Spree and Cassel just like Melo only once when he had Chauncey.

The Melo hate is unwarranted and ridiculous, Top 3 scorer in the league, Top ten overall player

Carmello = most overrated player in the nba

 

[holidayinn21]

Where were you guys that expected the knicks to get past the Heat in the 1St round?

bu bu bu buuuuuuuuut

melo was already in the playoffs..be4 lebron could muster up a team in cleveland to even get out the shytty east..

if u cant get in the playoffs in the east u got a problem..u dont even have to be above .500

melo did it in the harder more competitive conference with the same trash lebron had ..his rookie yr.



n he was coming off a ncaa title..so in a sense melo was still winning...showed he can carry the load in the nba..n get em to the playoff..what was denver be4 he came..

he carried them nikkas on his back...n the lil pieces he got..he made use of it..still got to the play offs..how long it take lebron again..

Props but we've pointed this out hundreds of time . They hate melo they act like we in here calling melo top 3 in the league . You can't find one melo is goat thread but yet he get multiple hate threads .

u'r missing the point when ppl say "he's the best pure scorer"

U cannot name an offensive move that Carmelo is incapable of performing at a high level. There are few players past or present who you could make the same statement about and even less who can perform those moves against nearly anyone

it's obvious Lebron scores on a higher efficiency when most of his offensive output is at or around the basket. That's not because of skill though, that's because he is a freak of nature in the NBA and can charge his way to the basket from half court

lol just give up JMurder, you can't teach idiots these days, just give em the and keep it moving lol

He’s a dangerous offensive weapon who’s most effective when he has the ball in his hands and space on the floor. What we’ve just recently found out, though, is that he’s not someone who is capable of raising the play of eight other guys and leading them to victory over a more talented team on a night when they struggle to find their mojo.The Knicks sacrificed it all for Anthony, and in return, he’s given them nothing but a few great regular season games and one great playoff performance versus the Celtics last season. Thus far, the Knicks have gotten very little in return.

On Thursday, Anthony lost a game he had to win on a night he had to own. And it’s just the latest chapter in his Knicks book that—already—has been full of disappointments. And last night, what was more troubling than his poor shooting performance was his lack of effort, bad body language, and dearth of hustle plays.

The Heat are great because James and Wade play both ends of the court and only coast when games are in hand.

You can’t outsource will and desire. Your best player sets the tone and that’s where Anthony has failed.Sure, Anthony led that Nuggets team in scoring, but he didn’t lead them on the floor. That was Billups. And a leader on the floor, more than anything else, is what the Knicks are sorely lacking.

Prior to landing in Denver, Billups’ six seasons in Detroit led to six straight conference finals appearances, two Eastern Conference championships, and one NBA championship. In those six years, Billups was 69-47 (.605) in playoff games.

Anthony wasn’t able to advance out of the first round before Billups, and hasn’t been able to win a playoff game without him.

What are we to make of that?

What I make of it is that you can’t quantify difference making and leadership. And Anthony, for all that he is, isn’t a difference maker by himself. Without the right pieces and system, his gifts as a scorer will be overshadowed by his deficiencies as a player. He’s an offensive weapon who can score in a one-on-one situation on most frontcourt players in the NBA.

And sadly, if you ever thought he was more, you were wrong.

Whether it be in the first round or the conference finals, Anthony’s path to an NBA Championship will run through Miami and/or Chicago. To succeed against either of them, he’ll need solid defenders around him, guards who can dribble-penetrate, and at least one big who commands a double team when he gets the ball in the post.

No, Melo can’t galvanize a team and get them to raise their play. Some players can, and he just isn’t one of them. He might score you 50 points and singlehandedly win a game, but that’s different.

Whenever Melo runs into opposing players who can effectively guard him in one-on-one situations, his team will struggle

nikka is a one dimensional garbage player.Lol @ nikkas comparing him to lebron at one point

Benard King 2.0 brehs

You say that like its a bad thing. Bernard King was a bad mutha fukker

Oh bosh and wade were hurt vs the Knicks ,?? Or did we lose our 2 starting guards we won as many games versus the heat as the thunder . You guys hate the Knicks

 

[god shamgod]

Over the course of their nine-year careers, we’ve seen both James and Wade make the most with the least. James has led two different teams to the NBA Finals and has won 66 games with a Cleveland Cavaliers team that, sans him, would have struggled to make the playoffs.

Wade is a former Finals MVP who has a championship ring and elevates his game in the postseason. He missed almost the entire 2007-2008 NBA season and without him, the Heat won 15 games. The next season, Wade and the fifth-seeded Heat lost a hard-fought seventh game to the Atlanta Hawks in the first round of the 2009 NBA Playoffs.

‘Melo, on the other hand, is a guy who can score the ball pretty well.

But he is not their equal, and he is not their peer.

In him, the Knicks merely have an overvalued scorer who needs other key cogs to truly compete for the NBA crown.

The hourglass for this season is nearly empty of sand. We have seen the truth: Anthony simply can’t compete with James or Wade.

Sadly, he’s just not in their class.

And it’s about time that we all stop pretending and believing that he is.
