I am contemplating putting in my Knicks fan resignation and converting to a 76ers fan :mjcry:.

jennings cant shoot and chucks a lot. i'd rather keep calderon. If anything, we need Calderon to play the 2 more when we go small.

That stat is misleading. Anybody watching Knicks games knows Melo has hit timely, big shots on a consistent basis since coming to NY.

If accurate it's a bad stat yea, but no one can say Melo isn't clutch.

Edit: And I would love to see a Knicks trade that doesn't involve Melo. Package some of the bench players for an established wing or a 3 and D guy.

You're right. He has definitely hit big, timely shots consistently. People think clutch is just game-winners.

'Melo shot 70.4% on 2's just last season in clutch situations. That's 7% higher than Lj and 12.8% higher than KD: NBA.com/Stats

He also averaged 6.5 ppg in the 4th on 45.1% shooting last season: NBA.com/Stats

By contrast, Lj only scored 0.6 (7.1) more points on a 3.5% better fg% (48.6%) in the 4th. He's a slasher, so that's nothing.

KD averaged less points than 'Melo in the 4th (5.3 ppg) on a lower fg% (44.4%).

He's doing all this without another star player to distract defenses like Lj and KD have. KP got that wide open shot in Charlotte because 'Melo was double-teamed.

What's the stat? Whoever posted it is on ignore, so I can't see it. I wanna look it up.

Who's gonna stop KP. He never passes.
Rondo dominates the ball, doesn't like to shoot and sets people up well. He is the perfect type of PG for this team IMO.

Hopefully the knicks can try to go after him and tell Melo to not start counting his money either.

Counting who's money? What are you talking about?
