This is absolutely false. All that has been said is he was one reason for last night's loss. It's unacceptable to say that about him and it's crazy. Him being a "project" is no excuse for lack of effort and "projects" aren't drafted at #4.
Yes...projects are. We all thought he'd be, Phil thought he'd be.

He is the only top 4 rookie on a team that is FIGHTING to be a top team in their conference with the pressure of a big city.

He is in a situation that has been notoriously terrible for young players.

Yeah I think they'd trade him for Melo, Riley is all about star players and the Heat are still in win now mode.


Lawson isn't a triangle PG, the Rockets would need to get a 3rd team involved but they'd most def trade for him. These dumb asses gave Melo a NTC though, the Suns would trade for him and the Knicks would get a huge return for him but since they gave him that NTC :russ:

But... if Dirk was BETTER than usual...

And he's a still efficient future HOFer...

But He let Porzingis drop 28...

How come an efficient hof was better than usual but a projected project was bad?

Por is playing well for one reason...he's better than all of us expected

You look funny in the light.

Dirk is overrated because he's a Euro. As I said:

Dirk can't defend, pass, rebound, nor block shots: Hall of Famer.

'Melo can do all those things: Garbage.

There's no excuse for not giving effort on defense and on the boards. There's no excuse for letting old-man Dirk turn back the clock on you. Give effort. Learn how to defend. Get into him because he's not going to blow by you. Dirk was better than usual because he averages 18 on 50% from the field and 43% from 3, but last night he dropped 25 on 50% from the field and 50% from 3.

Dirk didn't let KP drop 28. KP gets wide open looks from 'Melo commanding so much attention from defenses. He admitted this himself after the BK game. Bosh also pointed it out and KP even took a shot at Bosh for pointing out that teams are ignoring him because of 'Melo by saying Miami did the same thing, noting that his 1st shot in Miami was wide open (which was probably the only open one he got, the rest were off of mismatches and he didn't shoot well that night, he never does against Miami or any team with bigs who defend, for that matter). Besides that, as I said, old-man Dirk has never been able to defend.

He's not paid to play better than you expect. He's paid to make shots. Now that Arron is back to distract defenses like 'Melo does, he's doing that. He's paid to give effort on the boards. He does that but last night he did not. He's paid to give effort on defense. He doesn't do that. He just roams around for blocks. Rolo roams for blocks and guards his man. The issue is he starts and plays a lot of minutes. Since that's the case, he deserves blame when his play costs NY games.

I don't know why no one can bring up any of his flaws but it's wild.

So it was about Porzingis being at fault and Melo being perfect :dead:

No player is perfect. 'Melo did not cost NY the game last night. 'Melo's production on defense and rebounding gave them a chance to win after other players, including KP, got them in a hole. That's all.

Says the guy who has never disproven a single statement I've made. :francis:
you literally have dissertations full of entire horseshyt with stats that fit your constant pro melo agenda to shaft other players including our promising ROOKIE LOTTERY PICK. You are literally comparing production of a guy you consider a god (melo) a 11 year vet...to a big man 20 games into his NBA career. I fukk with melo and I don't think he should be traded....but he's playing like shyt....and everytime someone has some positivity about kp...you come in on some "he didn't do _____". It's forced, contrived and retarded. Take the melo glasses off. You literally cape for everyone at the expense of shytting on kp lmao. You think seraphin is better than kp. You probably think lance Thomas is a game changer. Please stop

KP gets a pass for not being able to shoot efficiently without 'Melo and Arron. KP gets a pass for not knowing how to defend. 'Melo gets a pass for his trash shooting because he can't jump. He jumps sideways and lands sideways. :scust: Arron gets a pass for his trash defense because of his hammy.

KP does not get a pass for his lack of effort on defense (every night) and whenever he doesn't give effort on the boards (last night). If you're calling him a project and rook, then you acknowledge he plays like one. The problem is you whine when people point that out. Since he starts and plays a lot of minutes, he deserves blame when his play costs NY games.

:dead:

Jesus Christ your obsession with Melo is comical, not even understanding how hiding a 7'0" PF on defense is alot easier than hiding a 6'8" wing......
