i seen u breh
U didPost it up .. It was my heat breh next to me and a Knicks fan right next to my boy lookin like future
I've soured on melo a lot this year. Growing up, he was my favorite player in the league. When he came to the knicks, I was ecstatic. Now, I dont really care if he leaves. We haven't done shyt in the playoffs every year and, even though thats not all on him, youd expect a player of his quality to produce something special at least once. This year, the hawks gift wrapped the last playoff spot for us by playing garbage basketball down the stretch and this dude disappears in the 2 most important games of the year. At some point, we have to stop excusing this bullshyt and see it for what it is.
how soon so-called stans forget when players play their hearts out and leak for the team
Melo: Bloody Boston game could be playoff preview

Carmelo Anthony’s left eye was still swollen on Tuesday morning, a little over 12 hours after he took a Rajon Rondo elbow to the head late in the fourth quarter of the Knicks’ 96-86 loss to the Boston Celtics.
“Some blood, a little cut. I’ve had worse done before,” he said with a smile.
Anthony, who needed five stitches to sew up the gash, believes the physicality of Monday’s game against Boston could serve as a playoff preview. Ray Allen also needed stitches on Monday night to close a gash on his head courtesy of a Jared Jeffries elbow.
“There were a lot of players out there who ended up bleeding. That was the indication of a playoff game,” Anthony said after practice on Tuesday. “If things work out that’s a team that we might see in the first round of the playoffs and that’s what you can expect, physical play (and) tough games.”
Monday night’s loss dropped the Knicks a full game behind Philadelphia in the race for sixth place in the Eastern Conference. If the Knicks finish in seventh place and the Celtics finished in second, they would face one another in the first round.
Boston, currently tied with Chicago atop the Eastern Conference, is 3-0 against the Knicks this season.
The Knicks conclude the regular season with an April 13 game at Boston.
Anthony expects a physical matchup in both the regular season finale against the Celtics and potential playoff series.
“There might be blood. That’s what you can expect. It is what it is,” he said.
Anthony tried to re-enter the game against the Celtics after receiving the Rondo elbow but couldn’t because his vision was impaired. He said the stitches were the first of his career – and life.
“I didn’t lose too many fights in my day,” he joked.

"Everybody knew this wasn't going to be easy," Anthony said. "This is a long road to get to where want to be at."
On Monday, Anthony sat on the Knicks' bench for several minutes after Boston rallied for an impressive victory that showed what the Celtics truly are - tough, physical and battle-tested. Boston outscored the Knicks 23-4 over the last seven minutes and held both Stoudemire and Anthony to no field goals in the fourth quarter.

22 3s for one player. 
42 3s for the entire game.
Disgraceful basketball. This team is all sorts of fukked up. I can't wait until this core gets obliterated.

This is what is expected of him. At a certain point, you want results. We haven't gotten that. Any other star player would face similar criticism after years of failure in the playoffs. This isn't to say that I think that a player like melo can't win a championship with the right people around him. Its just that the organization, and the fans too, need to evaluate the situation honestly if we want different results going forward. Constantly coming up with excuses for our star player isn't helping at all.

Yall better pray the Pacers win today
the financial industry and ticket brokers buy up all or most of msg's seats so there has been no real incentive to put a ship team together until this yr. lets give the zen master some time to produce a quality product.

Couldn't watch the game because I had to be somewhere else but Melo is clearly hurt looking at his shooting performance and JR's shot selection

Yea but melo isnt getting any younger and is rapidly losing whatever athleticism that he has left. The frequency of injuries is also a concern. Is he someone that we should commit to over the course of the next 5 years? I'm not so sure the answer to that is as clear as it was in the past.

Most fans especially young ones think simply putting up great stats makes you a great player which is laughable
Nobodies saying Melos to blame but if youre a franhcise player that teams can build around to win a title you dont miss the playoffs in the worst east ever no matter who your suporting cast is
knicks roster has more talent than 90% of the rosters in the league. but talent means nothing without a coaching staff who knows how to fit the pieces together and manage players. woodson has always been a mediocre coach who gets mediocre results. imo the biggest impediment to this teams growth has been having to play under woodson for the last two years. yea he's better than d'antoni but he's still a bum, and the knicks will never be a championship level team with him as the coach.
as far as the roster goes the knicks need one, maybe two strong off-season moves to beef up the front court and pg spot and that's it.

His game has not grown.....teams know exactly what's he going to do, so they adjust accordingly...Carmelo Anthony is never going to use anyone other than Carmelo Anthony to win a ball game for you. That makes it so much easier for opposing defenses to prepare for.
