what does porzingis have to do with this? i didnt say shyt about him. and nope, sorry. melo is the leader of this team, who is relied upon down the stretch to hit the big shots, thats what he gets paid the max for. shooting 33%, throwing a temper tantrum down the stretch costing us points aint cutting it for me.

KP has everything to do with this. You blamed 'Melo's shooting for the loss when trash rebounding and trash defense was the reason for the loss, KP being the main culprit. Defense and rebounding is about effort, as you can't control if shots fall. KP gave no effort on defense and rebounding and he gets paid to do so, just like 'Melo and the rest of the team.

And nope, 'Melo gets paid to score, defend, and rebound and he does that. If he hits big shots, great, if he doesn't, great. Speaking of big shots, he's one of the only Knicks who actually scores in the 4th. He averages 5 of the 22 points NY averages in the 4th. Your percentage in the 4th means nothing. It's the points that matter.

You sound crazy, blaming him for wanting to win so badly. You only complain because you want to win. He did not come close to "throwing a tantrum". Stopping your dribble to get in the refs's face like Wade did the last time NY played them is a tantrum. Running down the court saying "come on, man" ain't no tantrum. You're lying on him. He should throw tantrums and get fined for the way he's treated by refs. No one has to be treated unfairly.

im not blaming melo for the loss, im just tired of him not coming up with big shots this season. its more than just a few games at this point. melo is my dog, i want him to shine but his lack of shooting touch is starting to concern me.

Mavs coach Rick Carlisle on Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis: "He is a special player. And the city of New York has Phil Jackson to thank for that one. There were others that didnt have the balls to pull the trigger on that one, and hes a great young player whos got a chance to be truly special."

Someone like Thad Young. Milsap is actually the third best PF this year after Davis, Paul George and Durant. He's playing better than Blake, Bosh and Love. He's very underrated.

true... Just looked at a list from before the season and they had him at 8. The median would be Markieff Morris according to them..

According to this list... I'd put KP at 15 actually...

Ranking all 30 of the NBA's starting power forwards.

Nah he's not there yet... The median for PF in this league id say is a Paul Milsap and KP isn't better than him yet...

Well I feel he is a top 10 PF right now,dude can hit the 3, mid range has post game and get 10 boards a night, if he were the #1 option it'd be no debate
