This mawfukka Ray Felton better be ready to ball come day 1. Still can't believe this nikka is back. The locker room will be fukked at this point if we bring Lin back, I don't see the logic in it.

it is what it is. Everyone had injuries last year. Yeah there were a few games that injuries hampered his ability to play the game. But how many 4-20 games did we have to sit through as Melo bricked layups for NO reason. How many times did he singlehandedly stop the flow of the offense to go for heat checks when he was never ON? Melo would get credit from me if it didn't seem at times that he was trying to sabotage D'antonis job.
The knicks better match the cot damn offer. WTF
i don't think its happening breh
exactly which is why I want him on the Knicks so bad.
When teams double Melo, you need someone on the perimeter (a 3rd scorer) that can make them pay by either getting in the paint, making the defense collapse, drawing fouls, making passes out of that. Felton can not do this. Kid can't do it anymore.
His game is more like a Westbrook when it comes to stats. High turnovers, shoot first PG. Lin can get you 20-30pts if you don't pay attention to him because he gets in the paint & can finish. And he's young.
He's a little better with passing in regards to Westbrook but their ego is about the same (just with a different demeanor on the court). Obviously, Westbrook is way more explosive.
IMO, Lin stat wise is a poor mans Russell Westbrook....but with another scorer like STAT in the starting line up it makes the offense work better...so Lin doesn't have to force as much as Westbrook.
Training camp together all of this would gel & it would come to fruition in the season & playoffs. This is a terrible decision if the Knicks don't match.
a terrible decision is u comparing Lin to Westbrook
real rap... nikkas need to chill on the Melo slander. shyts kinda wack. if you dont like him then fine. but dont act like the nikka aint one of the smoothest scorers in basketball. nikkas will be quick to give a chicken shyt like James Harden some props before they give Melo his props. and all he does his fly awkwardly at the basket and draw fouls. Melo will drop 50 on your head and have you like
nobody is saying Memo can't play...but his play last season was VERY sub par. Don't forget we ended the season sayin "this is what he shoulda been doing all year!"

amare still averaged 17 and 8 on a injury lockout shortened season . Why you discounting amare like hes done while acting like Lin is a better scorer . We saw amare go off in the playoffs And it's been melos team to act different is silly

You say no reason I say injured . It's a 2 way street Dantoni didn't use melo right didnt want him , and tried to give the team to lin .
Lin was the second scoring option ? Common you being short sighted now amare is finished ? Lin a better option ? I like Lin too but common with this pedestal nonsense
So then why wasn't it D'antoni's fault for NOT being able to bring it all together in the beginning. You ARE a hypocrite because you blame Melo alone for them almost missing the playoffs even though he was playing through injuries... Yet give woody the REAL credit when Melo is playing well...
It seems clear to me that its d'antoni's fault because he didn't care about bringing it all together. He cared about trying to force his system to work without the right personnel

you know my stance....it isnt a good move.
yeah they'll be nights were JR is on fire...but the dude shoots you out of games. I would have never brought him back.

I'm suprised to see murder acting like this . He's usually level headed outside of fields

Get out my way, pimpin'.
It seemed like the pressure already was all on him. If the team does poorly Melo gets the blame, if it wins he gets non of the credit.
Oh no doubt but it is what it is at this point. So now do you go forward knowing that there are people in that locker room that are looking at that contract likeor say fukk it and tell them niccas that their job is to play and win and not concern themselves with the moves of the front office.
man bump JR & Felton feelings
Melo needs Lin whether he agrees with the contract or not.
This team is going to need a 3rd scorer & Lin was/is that. JR is too crazy & doesn't drive enough. Who else on the team can handle the rock on the perimeter, get in the paint & score/dish now?
Felton?

Change is inevitable...
Amare is not done but he's not gonna be who has the ball in his hands with the score tied and 4 seconds on the clock is he? Nope it's Melo. Melo is the face of this team now and Amare is declining bro. He is declining. That does'nt mean he's garbage but it means that Carmelo Anthony is the man you give the rock to now.
Amare has more than enough time to prove me wrong. He has ZERO excuses in this upcoming season. ZERO. NONE.
Me? I KNOW Carmelo is gonna deliver. I know this. This is fact. Barring some unforseen injury, Melo will deliver this season. Amare? Can you make that same gurantee? Now? In 2013? I'm not mad if he can't but it is what it is
I hope Felton knows that if he doesnt have the year he had when he was hear we and the rest of Knick fans will boo his ass and chant Lins name everytime his fatass gets the ball. Because he was the one smugly talkin abt the Knicks wont bring Lin back. Motherfukker you better bring your A++++++ game because if Lin averages 15 and 6 a game and you dont its over. But I dont think Lin is going to be as nice as he was last season. I think he's going to level out. Not get worse but he will still give the ball up often. Thats why we brought Kidd in to help him become a better point guard. But I guess Lin cares more about his initial money than being an All Star who would make wayy more. 
4 years from now we'll see who was right and who was wrong. The Rockets have noone in a veteran point guard or retired NBA point guard to even help polish his game. That place is like a damn Day Care where the kids are running wild with finger paint all over them. If he was smart he wouldve not taken the deal and just take the 26 mil deal the Knicks were to give him. You prove your worth for 2 years and you get some more money.
Now lets look at it. Lets say Lin averages 15 and 5 for the next 2 seasons. He's going to get 14 mil to put up 15 and 5?
In conclusion, this just proves the Rockets need to just clean house int he Front Office and add some people with better basketball knowledge.

He still scored 17 points you act like he scored 10. Would you not admit he was injured And out of shape.

That's cool...Amare just gotta prove it. Prove to me you can perform up to what we paid for.
He has no excuses now.

Amare will do well with the offseason rest plus Felton/Kidd feeding him.
